This is a BRIAN ENO TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN (By STRATEGY) Vintage 1974 Island VINYL LP
Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) is the second solo studio album by English musician Brian Eno (mononymously credited as "Eno"), released in November 1974 by Island Records.
Unlike his debut album Here Come the Warm Jets, which featured 16 musicians, this album utilized a core band of five instrumentalists:
Eno (keyboards, guitar), Phil Manzanera (guitar), Brian Turrington (bass guitar), Freddie Smith (drums), and Robert Wyatt (percussion).
Manzanera also participated in the writing and production. T
To help guide the musicians, Eno and Peter Schmidt developed instruction cards called Oblique Strategies to facilitate creativity during the recording process.
Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) is a loose concept album that references themes of geopolitical intrigue ranging from espionage to the Chinese Communist Revolution.
It did not chart in the United Kingdom or the United States, but received positive reviews from critics.
Since its release, the album has received even more critical attention.
The album was inspired by a series of postcards depicting a Chinese revolutionary opera titled Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy.
Eno described his understanding of the title as referring to "the dichotomy between the archaic and the progressive.
Half Taking Tiger Mountain – that Middle Ages physical feel of storming a military position – and half (By Strategy)
– that very, very 20th-century mental concept of a tactical interaction of systems."
