There are a handful of Eno tunes from this era that I really enjoy, but this isn't one of them. Other than the nice sounding piano it doesn't really move me much. I think B's nightmarish dancehall/techno (yeah, I know I'm nowhere near being up to date on my subgenres) is quite interesting, and despite making me feel a bit queasy (this kind of music always makes me think of massive amounts of drugs being ingested, and I don't want to go there anymore) I think it's the winner here.

I'm too old to appreciate B fully but I actually started to enjoy it. The Eno track is just irritating.

AB is the sort of thing that doesn't translate to us stupid Americans. ditto-a-mundo. it's hard to put aside all my youthful "better than the Beatles" enthusiasm for Eno's rock albums. leave me alone with my Dated Rock and my Hydrox cookies! slip the check under the door! Just to be clear, Snee, is that a vote for A? If so, would you mind editing to say so, so I don't miss it due to geriatric incompetence when totting up the results? |

Geriatric incompetence is what leads people to vote for A in the first place...

I love A.
But despite Df's insulting of posters
I'll go with B

Both annoying.
A is spoiled by some distracting vocal shit- not the main voice, the interjecting nuisance stuff.
B is pretty unpleasant. Gitmo torture.

Well familiar with this, of course. I knew a guy at Uni, a hypermanic Geordie artist who had known Brown Furry at art school, and he insisted that this song was about Eno's former bandmate/leader, especially the 'headless chicken/so much kicking couplet', backed up of course by the piss-takes of Ferry's vocals. Not my favourite from Warm Jets, which isn't my favourite Eno album, but I still enjoyed it. I liked this, too, although it couldn't be more different - told you my tastes were wide-ranging  . I don't mind a bit of chaos and the rhythms were extraordinary. I kept thinking of the scenes in the 1930s King Kong when the congregation summoned Himself to partake of Fay Wray. Hmmm B |

B is not something I could ever see listening to for pleasure. This, simply put.
Of course it's A, stand-out track from a stand-out album

Eno
A bit bitty, Eno’s voice is off putting. Very clever isnt he.
Ecko
I am considering voting for this track. I think it’s from Nyege's more dance-oriented sub-label Hakuna Kulala, and is in fact a fairly radical rework of the source material, by Ekhe, a Leeds-based DJ, unless I am mistaken.
A the drums have it.
