Eno, I would argue, is one of the pivotal figures of the 70’s, as a musician, writer, thinker, tinkerer, singer, genre-creator, producer, technological innovator, glam rock pioneer, engineer, and a cutter of the cutting edge.
You forgot parfumier.
True!
Eno, I would argue, is one of the pivotal figures of the -70’s- 20th century, as a musician, writer, thinker, tinkerer, singer, genre-creator, producer, technological innovator, glam rock pioneer, engineer, and a cutter of the cutting edge.
The other version of this song with the group 801 on their live album, (featuring Brian Eno as lead singer), is equally amazing.
Have you heard the Bauhaus cover?, flipside to their 'Ziggy' single. Should have been counted as a double-A. Damn fine version.
Amazing!
I prefer the Bauhaus cover
Brian Eno is a genius. He collaborated with Bowie and Robert Fripp on the Berlin trilogy Heroes, Low, and The Lodger albums. I love that album. My friend's sister had a party and we put on this album on repeat. We locked the door and went outside. Hah! Revenge of the nerds.
John I must tell you man . I’m really impressed that younger guy like you is into bands like Eno Crimson and Gentle Giant . I assume by your Toronto skyline . Used to manage some TO punk banks back in the late 70s
Don't forget producing Devo's first LP, and several crucial LP's for Talking Heads
I envy anyone coming to Eno's work for the first time, especially his earlier work from the 70s and 80s. He wrote lyrics like no-one else. The images evoked live on in the memory, and as for his collaborators, well Robert Fripp's work on Here come the warm jets was phenomenal.
His touring project was called '801',a collection of great players!
genre: no-wave (minimalist) A great version of this song also appeared on 801:Live with Simon Philips on drums and Bill MacCormick on bass.
Happy little find today as Mr Slop debuts a song, part of an Artist, Brian Eno et al, and several catalogs I have enjoyed for 45 years.
His stuff with Roxy music is legendary.
Bowie, Pop and Eno were the art rock trio of the 70s, performing and producing on each others albums. If you've seen The Venture Bros adult animated series this might provide an 'aha' moment re: The Sovereign...
Brings back college memories, listen too 801 Live
Yeah, my favourite official live album.
If I think of any one single Eno song and then imagine that being the first Eno song that a person heard I find the result interesting. Listen to a bunch, you won’t regret it.
1974. A man in his 20's remembering back to the post war years in England and rationing.
An Uncle is a colloquialism for a mother's live in lover.
'There were tins, there was pork. There are legs.
There are sharks.' (Sharks are predators, praying on lonely women?)
'There was John. There are cliffs.' (What happened to John?)
'There was mother. There's a poker' ( one who pokes?)
'There was you.'
'Then there was you'
'There are scenes, there are blues' (Violent scenes and sadness?)
'There are boots, there are shoes' ( Kicking involved?)
'There are Turks, there are fools'
'They're in lockers, they're in schools' ( Bad and ignorant people at the boys school?)
'There is you'
'Then there was you'
'I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes'
'Burn my uncle, burn his books'
'Burn his shoes, cook the leather' (Gets rid of the bad third Uncle?)
'Put it on me, does it fit me or you?'
'It looks tight on you' (A noose ?)
That's my interperation of the song.
The musical sounds are the feelings involved in the story.

baby is on fire
from the same album
Has one of the greatest guitar solos in my opinion done by Robert Fripp
Yeah , right on dude , fripp's solo just fantastic ✌️
Dr Seuss songs is a pretty good description. His lyrics are surreal. Taking tiger mountain is my fav Eno album
this song is a game changer, no doubt. Pure genius!!
I forgot how much better this is than Bauhaus' cover. Eno was a studio and synth wiz. One could call it post-punk, tho it pre-dates punk. One might even say Peter Gabriel explored post-punk sounds before it was a sound
This is not only one of my favorite Post Punk songs, it's one of my favorite Brian Eno songs and I literally like everything he's ever done and believe me, that genius has the most extensive discography you can imagine.
But I love this song so much. But then again I like everything off of that Taking Tiger Mountain album. That is just a phenomenal work.
And I hate to go by memory, when Wikipedia surely knows the answer, but Brian Eno not only created the most incredible stuff kind of off to the side out of the mainstream but still influencing tons of artists, he really got into producing it at some point. And we're talking bands like the talking heads, the b-52's, the cocteau twins, and just a whole bunch that you wouldn't even expect. I think maybe he did one you two album for example but I know there are lots of things he had his hand in and everybody loved him as a producer. They used one of his songs in the revolutionary cult movie Trainspotting. A huge tip of the hat to Brian Eno from them.
I think it pre-dates punk by a couple years? The Damned 'New Rose' was '76, and this was '73 or '74?
@@CWargh63 Perhaps he's referring to the Bauhaus cover? 🤔
@@ijustneedmyself I guess 1982 might be considered post punk, but maybe we just think of Eno as being being more recent on account of his innovative sound? Or because pre-punk is not a term?
@@CWargh63 Post-punk started in the late 70s. Also, I have seen pre-punk referred to as proto-punk so maybe this is proto-post-punk 😂
My dudes this is pre punk the album came out in 1974 and the total vibe of taking tiger Mt by strategy was acid glam.
Eno's genre is "art"...For an ultimate contrast try "Through Hollow Lands" from his album, Before and After Science. Eno's attitude toward lyrics was almost exclusively sonic in nature--if they make sense it's probably accidental! hahaha...
''Never heard of Eno''... Simply unbelievable for a young Rock enthusiast!.. Anyway, welcome to Brain One's World!
😂 Brother must have emerged from a coma.
Don’t analyse the words - they’re there for the sound they make. He developed a series of cards called Oblique Strategies and used them in a way similar to Bowles cut up technique for writing.
You should check out his first 4 albums - Here Come The Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy, Another Green World and Before And After Science, amongst the best PRE PUNK albums of the post prog era!
Eno was an in demand producer for Talking Heads, Devo and U2, plus many others.
His album with David Byrne is astounding ( My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts.)
So many ideas.
This was like proto-New Wave. Way ahead of its time.
Tune...taking tiger mountain by strategy is my favourite Eno album
Jewel I heard this song the first time late 80’s from Bauhaus did not know it was a cover, I just found out 37 years later that is an ENO cover song is from 1974 so it was punk before punk (in my opinion)and it is fantastic 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I first saw Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno RDI when he was in his wings with Roxy Music. I later grooved on his collaborations with Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel and others. As your commenter say...genius. Fripp once apparently said that he liked Eno because he could play the knobs. Check out his "Oblique Strategies" cards. Oh. He invented Ambient music and is probably a bit of a Gurdjieffian, and, I would guess, Joycean. Deep guy.
Never heard of Eno? Welcome to the mystery.
Way before punk. That's why Eno was ahead of his time.
Still ahead of the times.
Blew your mind! Ha!
Yep!
It's proto-punk I think! Eno is a brilliant Artist.
I always wished that Phil Manzaneras distorted, gut wrenching, guitar attack at the end would just go on and on and on.....
He contributed 'Enossification' to Genesis' album 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'.
Never heard of Eno before this??? How is that even possible?
Yep!
The guitar was Robert Fripp, who founded King Crimson a couple of years before this. You might like 'Red' - in my opinion, the best album of KC. It's been called proto-punk.
The musician that musicians listen too.
Genre...Eno!
Don't try to read anything into the lyrics! More wonderful songs await. In this period he was known simply as 'Eno".
Bowie, Eno and Fripp
The Holy Trinity!!!...
Others have compared aspects of Brian Eno's 'Third Uncle' with the following:
Brian Turrington's bass line to the opening of Pink Floyd's 'One of These Days' from "Meddle" (1971).
Brian Eno's monotonous stream of words to The Edge's monotonous stream of negative commands from U2's 'Numb' from "Zooropa" (1993), produced in part by Brian Eno.
The lyrics seem to be repeated three times (with one line rearranged). Maybe this is the reasoning behind 'third' uncle?
Bauhaus did a killer cover of Third Uncle. You should check it out.
In re: your comments: "surf guitar"... nailed it! Dick Dale or Link Wray could have blundered into this session, plugged in, and played right on the button. Further, this little pop record manages to reference atonlity, 12 tone, musique concrete, math rock,
noise, and anarchy, and goodness knows what else what else: Rahsann Roland Kirk? Messian? Hawkwind? Yeah, its all in there simultaneously. And, whoopee you can dance to it!!!!!
Swellerific video. Thanks!
!!!Destroy!!!
Bauhaus does a killer cover of third uncle.
Turrington played a wrong note in the bass line, then thought he'd better repeat it so it sounded intentional. After the take he apologized to Eno, who loved the wrong note and gave him an arrangement credit on the song.
Early Roxy Music! Produced several U2 LP’s. Worked tight with Robert Fripp
This is early to mid 70s, it's well pre Punk!!..
More dark than shark
More blank than Frank.
Yeah, blank frank another masterpeice✌️
So: Who have you heard of - and why the hell?
Genre? This was punk years before Punk, Metal before Metal.
List to “Baby’s On Fire” by Eno. (Listen to all his first 5 albums if you can. He was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century as a musician and a producer/editor.)
KooL You dug this, It's ENO Genre'. Thee "Blues" are Rx "Downers", see The WHO's Movie Quadrophenia for mor on that. ATBest, dan U/dtf/Doc Bombay
Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy
Was a Concept Album about ENO’s girlfriend leaving him for Chairman Mao and he joins the secret service to go get her back. I don’t think he ever really put it together in a doable story but the remarkable China my China has a fantastic synth treated guitar solo over multiple manual typewriters rhythm section. Yes you heard me right. Or go to Baby’s on Fire off his first album which I believe is about making pornography.
There was Joy Division several years before Joy Division.
I like the Bauhaus cover
Check out the cover by The Mechanics
The song text doesn't mean anything, they're just sounds, like the various types of guitars. See the song texts as an extension to the great percussion. The repetitive "then there was you" is just a means to focus: it's about you, whatever that means
ENO = mc²
I am certain Eno was influenced by the velvet undergound.
Pre-punk.
Indeed.
Brian Eno was in a category all his own. Not really punk. Lots of art-house rock vibes.
Did you move out or is that you’re room?
This album was originally supposed to be a concept album about the Cultural Revolution in China , but it fell apart. “Third Uncle” is about the violence against intellectuals and others during the period.
I honestly dont understand these reaction videos. Seeíng a guy listening for the very first time something I have always loved and see a judgment when clearly most of this music needs at least a few listens and...well Im here. Im here for the comments and for Eno.
It's an interesting subject. I'm just here after this being suggested after listening to The Big Ship (one of the best songs ever). I am digging this song though!
Favourite Eno track?
Hello, I love with all my love all of "Warm jets and Taking tiger M" and after all these years I also feel gratefull to have had access to this musics since Im mexican. So Id say Cindy Tells me from Warm jets And Mother Whale Eyeless my absolute favorite! @@willmartin4234
The 1982 Bauhaus cover of 'Third Uncle' exceeds the original version by far !!! 😉
No hard disagree, it's a good cover but no
I like their cover, but no. What I WOULD say is that the 801 Live version is stronger, IMO
I almost missed the wink... was about throw down! lol
@@buckdraper303 Oh! but I am very serious when I say that I find the Bauhaus cover infinitely superior to the original.
Not really!
