Continuing the twisted pop explorations of Here Come the Warm Jets, Eno's second solo album, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), is more subdued and cerebral, and a bit darker than its predecessor.
It's a loose concept album -- often inscrutable, but still playful -- about espionage, the Chinese Communist revolution, and dream associations, with the stream-of-consciousness lyrics beginning to resemble the sorts of random connections made in dream states.
Eno's richly layered arrangements juxtapose very different treated sounds, yet they blend and flow together perfectly, hinting at the directions his work would soon take with the seamless sound paintings of Another Green World
