Brian Colantuno (our old friend from Trackside) picked this record for Episode 4, and I’m so glad he did because it was inevitable that Eno had to be featured on an episode of Three on the Ones and Twos. Brian Eno is one of my favorites - he makes these fascinating and beautiful albums without any ego or pretentiousness. He is constantly collaborating with others (often using the Oblique Strategies that he introduced on this album) and everyoneplaying seem like they are having so much fun making these records. I also like how Brian Colantuno specifically picked this record “Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)”. It’s not the typical pick of “Here Come the Warm Jets”, “Another Green World”, or “Music for Airports” from his catalog, but a record that definitely has lots of great details and amazing songs to discuss. I hope you enjoy the episode, and thanks Brian Colantuno and Trackside for the selection!
