Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountian (By Strategy)

The sound of Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) has been described as more upbeat than Eno's previous solo album, while the lyrics have darker themes and subject matter. The album's lyrics have been described as "remarkably literate and often humorous" with "quick-fire rhymes, oddball couplets, abrupt demands and ruthless statements". To create the lyrics, Eno sang nonsense syllables to the record's backing tracks and then turned them into words.This lyric-writing method was used for all his more vocal-based recordings of the 1970s.
