We climbed and we climbed...
On my wish list - a CD copy of Brian Eno's "Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)" to replace the cassette copy I discarded long ago. I spent the summer of 1981 living in a converted garage, and I spent part of that summer in the garage, listening to "The Great Pretender" over and over. (If you ever get the chance to hear my song "Your Time Has Expired," you'll notice a similarity of chords between the two songs, although my song puts the chords in a different order, and has dramatically different lyrics.)

Hear song samples here.

Here's some of what allmusic has to say:

It's a loose concept album — often inscrutable, but still playful — about espionage, the Chinese Communist revolution, and dream associations, with the more 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....Although not quite as enthusiastic as Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain is made accessible through Eno's mastery of pop song structure, a form he would soon transcend and largely discard.

P.S. Someone's done a cover version of the entire album.
