Eno having parted company with Roxy Music was spreading his wings. He did so both with his album "No Pussyfooting" with guitarist Robert Fripp, and with this, his own solo debut.
It really is a bit of a 'kitchen sink' approach to music making, with songs not a million miles from the jagged rock of the first Roxy Music album, boundary-pushing (for the mainstream at least) electronic sounds, and occasionally lush, layered vocal pop.
As I said with Todd Rundgren's "A Wizard, A True Star" THIS is what it feels like a solo album should be. Releasing the shackles and just doing whatever you want to do.
