About this album

Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) is Brian Eno’s sharpest and most fully realised early solo statement, where art-rock ideas meet sly pop instinct. Following his departure from Roxy Music, Eno worked with co-writer and producer Rhett Davies to build a more song-based but still unpredictable record, using inventive studio textures, fractured narratives and memorable hooks to push beyond straightforward rock. Released in 1974, it helped establish Eno as a singular solo artist rather than simply an ex-band member, and songs such as Burning Airlines Give You So Much More and The True Wheel show how easily he could turn experiment into something catchy, strange and enduring.

Genre: Pop & Rock
