Store Categories BRIAN ENO Here Come The Warm Jets / 2x LP NEW VINYL / Virgin 2017
2017 deluxe reissue - Released January 1974 Here Come The Warm Jets was Brian Eno’s debut solo release following his departure
from Roxy Music. The album draws on his glam & prog roots but its experimental nature also made it unlike
anything that’d come before. On August 4, 2017 Astralwerks Records will release a new gatefold vinyl edition
presented over two 180GM discs playing at 45rpm for optimum sound quality. High resolution mastering and halfspeed
cutting were supervised by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.
Eno's solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets, is a spirited, experimental collection of unabashed pop songs on which Eno mostly reprises his Roxy Music role as "sound manipulator," taking the lead vocals but leaving much of the instrumental work to various studio cohorts (including ex-Roxy mates Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, plus Robert Fripp and others). Eno's compositions are quirky, whimsical, and catchy, his lyrics bizarre and often free-associative, with a decidedly dark bent in their humor ("Baby's on Fire," "Dead Finks Don't Talk"). Yet the album wouldn't sound nearly as manic as it does without Eno's wildly unpredictable sound processing; he coaxes otherworldly noises and textures from the treated guitars and keyboards, layering them in complex arrangements or bouncing them off one another in a weird cacophony. Avant-garde yet very accessible, Here Come the Warm Jets still sounds exciting, forward-looking, and densely detailed, revealing more intricacies with every play.
