Hard to say the same about "Ambient 4" now, isn' it?<br />A great album although "Taking Tiger Mountain" works better as a whole and seems more developed as far as songwriting goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-87329643814899813922015-05-28T21:12:11.150+03:002015-05-28T21:12:11.150+03:00I agree with your assessment with the Velvet Under...I agree with your assessment with the Velvet Underground being an influence, but I think a lot of the material on this album (and his big four as a whole) also owes much to other 60s pop music. The Who and The Move circa 1965 - 1968, the more commercial stuff from the original Mothers Of Invention and Syd Barrett, and The Beach Boys when Brian Wilson was going full throttle in the studio between Today! and The SMiLe Sessions. The ingredients weren't his, but the mixture was certainly unique and satisfying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-18070719674142769602015-05-28T09:46:06.145+03:002015-05-28T09:46:06.145+03:00Yeah, it's on its own bonus disk.

So to me Eno is obviously gender bending and that falls under the whole "look and feel" aspect I am talking about so it does fall under Glam. I also think you see this same stuff going on in Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat and I always considered that sorta late Glam in some ways.Teddy Pighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660335158038390871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-40198267387078148622015-05-27T18:21:29.859+03:002015-05-27T18:21:29.859+03:00According to Eno, the song title actually refers t...According to Eno, the song title actually refers to the sounds they managed to extract from guitars on that track.
