_Wrong Way Up_, released late 1990. Great album, but markedly 
different from the other pieces by either Eno or Cale that I know.  
It marked Eno's return to songwriting for the first time since 1977's 
_Before and After Science_ solo album and the three songs on the 
otherwise instrumental _After the Heat_ collaboration with Moebius 
and Roedelius. Since then Eno's been quite prolific as a songwriter, 
as his _Nerve Net_ album and the new material on the 3-CD Eno 
_Vocal Box_ (as I think it's called) have shown. If you like the Cale 
collaboration, Bonnie, I suggest you try to get the _Vocal Box_, 
because there's some very similar material there.
