I love this album. Footsteps and been there are the 2 tracks I’m not so hot on, though I enjoy them - love all the rest

Eno did a lazy lugubrious cover of “ring of fire” in the style of “the river” around this time, I love it just for giving me more of that vibe

ilxor Tom D. just pointed out that "Spinning Away" is merely a rewrite of "The Big Ship"...
that's a cool observation, I think this tune fits in with those two as well:

(not Eno though)
Spinning Away is absolutely classic of course (even the Sugar Ray cover is good!!) but I'm still bothered by the drum loop sounding like a 96kbps MP3

It's a fairly standard chord sequence, probably been used lots of time. Eno only uses straightforward chord sequences, Cale often does too.

I'm finally home (!) and am here to tell you that:
"The Big Ship"C - F - Am - F - C - G/B - Am - F I | IV | vi | IV | I | V* | vi | IV *inversion
"Spinning Away"A - E - F#m - D I | V | vi | IV
so a slight difference, but in Tom D's defense, the reedy/overdriven DX-7 preset sounds remarkably similar in both tracks.
My big takeaways: "The Big Ship" uses the same chords as "No Woman No Cry" & "Spinning Away" uses the same chords as "Three Little Birds".
Is Eno a closet rasta?

Hasn't he just been working with Lee Perry?
