TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN is a grab bag of freaky science-fiction-dipped confections. It sports songs that are by turns creepy ("The Great Pretender," whose whirling, oozing keyboard line and synthesized vocals approximate delirium tremens or a hatching hive of maggots), absurdist/philosophical ("Burning Airlines [Give You So Much More]"), or straight-out rockers (the delectably intense "Third Uncle," propelled by the churning guitar of Roxy Music's Phil Manzenera). Concurrent with Bowie's alien aesthetic, Eno's tunes are infinitely more otherwordly and warped, making use of the full palette of bizarro synthesizer effects and, in "Put A Straw Under Baby," the Portsmouth Sinfonia, whose members have no knowledge of their instruments. The songs, however, are as inventive and appealing as their treatments and make for Eno's most solid--and experimental--pop album.
