About "Third Uncle"
"Third Uncle" is a 1974 song by the English musician Brian Eno, released on his second solo album Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy). The song was recorded at Basing Street Studios in Notting Hill, London, in September 1974, and produced by Eno. It has been highly influential and covered by many artists, most notably by Bauhaus in 1982.
The song is based around a bass guitar riff by Brian Turrington, which borrows from Pink Floyd's "One of These Days" in its use of delay. Behind this are two rhythm guitar parts, one by Eno and one by his former Roxy Music bandmate Phil Manzanera, each playing frenetic, staccato chords. Eno's vocals are sung in a near-monotone.
Along with the title track of his 1974 debut album Here Come the Warm Jets, "Third Uncle" remains one of Eno's best-known and most influential songs. A live recording featuring Eno and Manzanera appears on supergroup 801's 1976 album 801 Live; this version has been cited as a forerunner of punk rock, and described by AllMusic writer Dave Thomas as "furious...positive madness."
