Wrong Way Up is a 1990 album by Brian Eno & John Cale.
Cale and Eno have both flirted with pop music on a number of occasions. Wrong Way Up is, arguably the most successful venture into such territory from either of them. Dating from 1990 it covers a wide range of styles. It lacks the greater depth of Cale's major works and the atmospherics that Eno is associated with, but is probably the most accessible album either of them has produced.
