Review

Rolling Stone (11/15/90) - 4 Stars - Excellent "...a gem..."
Q - 4 Stars - Excellent
Time Magazine (2/4/91) - "...The music is spooky and melodic...and everything that seems strange at first starts very quickly to sound almost everyday, if every day is like a dream..."
NME (Magazine) (10/27/90) - 7 (out 0f 10) - "...everything is fun....It just ain't great, is all; but well good enough..."

Title Note

Personnel: Brian Eno (vocals, electric & slide guitars, keyboards, drums, percussion, bells); John Cale (vocals, viola, harp, piano, organ, bass, tympani, dumbek); Dave Young, Robert Ahwai (guitar); Nell Catchpole (violin); Daryl Johnson (bass); Ronald Jones (drums, tabla); Rhett Davies, Bruce Lampcov, Jeff Foster (background vocals).

Principally recorded at Wilderness Studio, Suffolk, England from April to July 1990, and Platinum Island, New York, New York.

Brian Eno and John Cale first collaborated when Eno produced Cale's WORDS FOR THE DYING, an album that features orchestral settings of Dylan Thomas poems, solo piano pieces, and one quasi-pop song, "The Soul of Carmen Miranda." The pair enjoyed that last track so much that Eno ended his 12-year sabbatical from song-based music and, with Cale, quickly wrote and recorded this excellent album of intelligent yet heartfelt pop songs. Unlike most of Eno's collaborations, his ideas don't dominate WRONG WAY UP. Vocals and lyrics are split about evenly between Eno and Cale, as exemplified by the hypnotic "One Word," which features both men simultaneously singing two entirely different sets of lyrics. Two Cale songs are the twin centerpieces, the ominous "Cordoba" and the surprising and wonderful singalong "Been There, Done That," but the album ends with a skeletal Eno masterwork, "The River," which makes one wish he'd returned to pop music earlier.
