Taking Tiger Mountain and Another Green World with Brian Eno

Between Eno's second and third solo album (1974-75) I believe he went from the most engaging and creative concept in rock history into relatively boring structures I still don't grasp some meaningfulness in.

If the later style never had become more synonymous with Eno, I would have thought he had a hollow of depression. Seems like walking from a circus stage into an elevator. Maybe the presence of Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music still gave the tiger mountain rich sharpness.

Anyway the critics as well as the users now on allmusic gives both albums a full hand of stars.
