The centrepiece of the Berlin trilogy, its title track one of the great rock anthems of yearning. Eno's textures and Fripp's guitar give it grandeur. Triumphant and strange. The one in the run that sometimes gets overlooked — don't let it.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
