Here Come The Warm Jets

sonido vintage pq es del 73!!!!!!!! pero tampoco me pareció tan joya o un album que si o si tengo que escuchar antes de morir. agradable pero nada memorable

Brian Eno can do no wrong, obviously 5 stars.

Bits I liked, bits I didn't

The recording sessions for this album sound like they'd either be a nightmare or an absolute party. 16 musicians chosen specifically because it was thought that they were incompatible with each other and musical direction that was given through body language, dancing, and vague verbal suggestions. It's a wonder they managed to get anything to tape, but it's not surprising that what they did manage to get down is avant-garde, experimental, and weird. Luckily, that's right up my alley, and this is one of my all time favourite albums!

Я ожидал эмбиент а тут роцк хороший

I didn't super love the second track. Driving me Backwards was good. But On some faraway beach started good but lost me. All in all, I think my initial read on Brian Eno was accurate, incredible musician but not always the easiest listen.

I didn't enjoy any track on this album. Was counting down the minutes till it ended. 1*

Wonderful and at times straight silly

Is "weird for the sake of weird" its own genre?

I always loved this weirdness of this album, "oh you headless chicken; can those poor teeth take so much kicking". I love this almost as much as Another Green World, for me 5 stars.

I saw Brian Eno and the words avant garde and I was dreading what I was going to hear. Luckily I was wrong. What a fabulous album with catchy songs that sound incredibly modern. Any of these songs could come out today and no one would bat an eye; especially the title track.

Brian Eno’s debut, Here Come The Warm Jets, is a landmark of avant-garde invention, brilliantly fusing glam sleaze, sonic experimentation, and deconstructed art-rock. Eno struts through the tracks like a sonic popinjay, dismantling traditional structures with fearless eccentricity. Yet, listening today, the novelty has worn thin. Decades of electronic and pop evolution have left these quirky, disjointed tracks feeling somewhat dated; to modern ears, the once-radical soundscapes simply fail to sustain lasting engagement or visceral excitement.

It’s okay! I’m more of a fan of later Eno (LaNo), but it’s a decent album. Favourite track: Here Come The Warm Jets

algumas ideias bem legais, outras bem chatas

Album 361. Here Come The Warm Jets — Brian Eno (1974) Tough review. Weird dude and I don't really know what to write. Brian Eno is an éminence grise and probably the most influential musician after the Beatles. Or at least one of the most influential producers But I can't figure out how I feel about his solo music. It's like I need a deeper dive and today isn't the day for it 3/5 Liked: — Needles In The Camel’s Eye — The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch — Baby’s On Fire — Driving Me Backwards — On Some Faraway Beach — Blank Frank

**an ok album

I reckon Brian should stick to instrumental stuff

Absolutely not.

Iskreno album nije los. Nije nesto sta bih slusao ili cu slušati ponovno ali kakvih albuma sam dosad imao ovaj nije kriminalan. Najbolja pjesma: Needles In The Camel's Eye

I don’t know what I expected from Brian Eno, but it wasn’t this slice of pop perfection. Even the songs I didn’t think I was going to like, such as "On Some Faraway Beach" won me over by their end. My favourite were the harmonies and repetition of “Some of Them Are Old” and "Here Come the Warm Jets". “Here Come the Warm Jets” felt like it could have been recorded this year instead of 52 years ago.

Overall Rating - 2.55/5 (5.10/10). It's not as unpleasant as I had feared it would be. But you can still tell it's Brian Eno.

Bit weird tonally, veering from Noise Punk to the Beatles and back multiple times. Was also quite soft on my speakers which o didn't anticipate from Mr Eno. Meh, one of the ones I won't remember after this is all over.

The more albums I hear by Brian Eno, the bigger fan I become. This was a fantastic listen. The creative range was impressive, and there wasn't a single weak song on the entire album. Magnificent.

I expected some weird stuff here and it didn’t disappoint. There is a fascination with Brian Eno and I think I understand that he is a musical genius kind of guy. But you are either going to really love the music or hate it. To me I’m kind of in the middle some I love and others I find grating. But that’s the nature of music. I can understand why it’s here.

Absolute madman - interesting but ultimately a bit too weird.

Again, I’m loving Brian Eno. Some songs are so weird, some are just normal rock. Listening for the first time you never know.

miło się słuchało jest fajnie

Suprisingly enjoyed it a lot, might be a 4 with resliten

Everyone go watch velvet goldmine dir. Todd Haynes right now

I think it's no secret that I'm a sucker for Eno's '70s experimental rock ventures. And that very much includes his solo debut, 'Here Come the Warm Jets'. An album that, more than anything, feels like such a twisted take on the pop-rock of the time. Right from the get-go with 'Needles in the Camel's Eye', something just feels subtly off. Like that guitar riff, the very slightly atonal nature of it, shouldn't work, yet it does. And, aside from that, the structure of the track itself is about as traditional as you get, despite the very labyrinthine and pondering lyrics, an Eno staple. Eno himself wasn't really a super talented musician in the traditional sense, and it really shows on this song and the album in general, but the appeal lies in how he's able to build such amazing songs from generally pretty standard fundamentals (and with the help of some incredible contributors, of course). I'd say the whole record shares that subtly off vibe. 'Baby's On Fire' is another early masterpiece, with an absolutely blistering guitar solo by the legend Robert Fripp himself. It adds to the very alarming and chaotic atmosphere of the song. And the lyrics are super dark and relevant as ever, describing one of the most horrible images of a child on fire (inspired by images from the Vietnam War), with absolutely no relief; the entire song feels so idle, like it's beating around the very horrific situation at hand without providing any sort of resolution or taking any sort of action. It paints such a helpless scene. The melody here can become grating in a lot of ways in just how repetitive it can be (a staple for Eno, especially on his follow-up 'Taking Tiger Mountain', another masterpiece), but it just works. 'Cindy Tells Me' is maybe the most obviously poppy song here, paired with cheery piano chords and a pretty great guitar solo - but the lyrics are very much not that, with them very obviously criticizing traditional gender roles. And 'Dead Finks Don't Talk' is also a great take on more progressive pop-rock, just so many little facets and phases, and some really cool little studio effects centred around a pretty catchy core melody, most notably that noisy feedback solo closing it out...just not something that should exist in 1974. The song 'On Some Faraway Beach' is one of the more directly pretty songs here. I don't think this album has much that foreshadows Eno's later ambient and electronic-centric rock music, but his knack for very simple, building melodies that manage to still be very beautiful is showcased on this track very well. And I feel the same way about the closing title track, maybe Eno's best song. A very simple melody at its core, but it's drenched in fuzz and builds slowly with the out-of-sync drum loop, before eventually locking with it. The whole track feels like being blasted with warm hot-tub jets as all your troubles wash away. There's a very hopeful and optimistic feel to this song after a pretty dark album, especially when Eno's vocals come in at the end with lyrics that I hold very near and dear to my heart. I'm gonna give this album 5 stars, of course, but even I'll admit songs like 'Driving Me Backwards' and 'Some Of Them Are Old' do move a bit too slowly and are a bit too repetitive for my liking, especially the former, which, despite having a really neat gothic vibe, has maybe the most demanding of Eno's vocal deliveries; he's really pushing his generally pretty limited range there. Still, my unpopular opinion is that Eno's early solo works are about as important to the formation of alternative and experimental music and punk rock as groups like the Velvet Underground, the Beatles, and The Stooges. It's really like he picked up where the Beatles left off, pushing pop music to completely new levels and pushing the studio-as-an-instrument idea to places completely unexplored before. Masterpiece.

Phil Manzanera is so under rated. So is Simon King. I have a pal who refers to these early albums as "Brian before he was ENO", but there on the sleeve it just says ENO. Maybe it was "ENO before he was Brian". I'm confused.

Sounds like what it is. A producer screwing around.

Highlights: - On Some Faraway Beach - Dead Finks... - Here Come the Warm Jets

I’m sorry, but no. Just no

Meh

Some tip-top moments (Needles, Baby's on Fire...), some songs that outstay their welcome (Some of Them...), but overall, a decent stab at balancing experimentalism with tunes. It's an album I'll probably listen to again in the future, but probably won't buy a copy.

Yeah all right Brian, settle down mate.

I knew three things about Brian Eno before listening to this album : 1. He's the father of ambient music ; 2. He helped popularize synths and therefore paved the way for the 80s' reliance on it ; 3. He worked with everybody, from Bowie to Devo, from Roxy Music to Genesis, from Talking Heads to Peter Gabriel, and U2, and Coldplay, and... Like, seriously, I can't read a Wikipedia page about an artist from the 70s through the 90s without his name popping up at least once. So, yeah, I was excited to finally discover the guy's music. And it's great! This is early Eno, from what I gathered, so maybe not his most advanced work, but it's very creative, and never boring. Each song goes somewhere, builds something, and it's usually hard to predict. "Baby's on Fire", "Some of them are old"... Those are the kinds of songs that keep on giving. Eno has four other albums in the list and I hope they're even better.

If Brian Eno stayed in this Post-Punk sound I would like him a whole heck of a lot more.

You can tell with how loud they scream and how hard they slam the piano that these guys can't hold a tune.

Man…i heard Needle In the Camel’s Eye several years ago and listened on repeat over and over. I know Brian Eno for his ambient movie stuff so this 70s garage rock sound was a surprise. I chose NOT to listen to the album after doing some quick needle drops and realizing the album did not deliver on the promise of the opening track. Having now listened, I’m validated in my original hunch to skip this one. Didn’t find any other gems. Turned on the lukewarm jets for this one. Bonus stars truly for the aforementioned Needle/Camel track.

Sometimes I like to position myself in front of the warm jets in a hot tub so the water tickles my taint. This album wasn’t anything like that

2.1

It's alright...

Very good. This was my first listen for this album. I might like it more as I get more acquainted. For me, for now, I think I prefer his album Before And After Science.

I do love me some Eno and this is the primo material here.

Yeah, I f-img loved it. Exactly my type of shit.

Didn’t know Brian Eno made a solo album so accessible

not my jam

Most works that involve Eno don't really resonate with me. This is no exception. Some parts could interest me when I'm in the right mood, but that wasn't the case today.

fui com preconceito, mas é bom fico feliz que tiveram várias rodadas de bons álbums seguidos ultimamente

I just can't get into this goofy-ass shit.

I found myself unable to enjoy the back half of the album, because I was too busy bracing for whatever grating sound effect was going to come out of nowhere disturb my listening.

I’ve already listened to Roxy music for this and I wasn’t a hugeee fan, so wasn’t coming in with high expectations. Was pleasantly surprised. Experimental music in this fashion has really grown on me in recent years. You can see where talking heads get their inspo

Weird and wonderful. Wasn't an easy listen but this is really revolutionary for 1974 and you can hear the way it has influenced so much music since.

I appreciate the creativity.

Very unusual.

This was not the Eno I was expecting.

A weird mix where you can see the foundations of his work with Talking heads and Bowie being built. Pre-punk noise, post punk angularity and an absurdist edge to the lyrics. Just too much shape shifting for a 4th star

Sounds like glam era David Bowie but with even more weird experimentation. I prefer his ambient albums but no doubt this was influential.

My second Brian Eno album in a week. Again, I enjoyed it. I like glam, so I thought this was an interesting combo of glam and art pop.

I DID listen to this, and it once again erased my review. Probably for the best, as it was a typical meandering road to nowhere. Speaking of meandering roads to nowhere, it's Brian and the Jets, or was it The Mumbling Heads? I can't remember. This album was interesting and probably deserved to be here, but also I don't really care about it. That sounds like 2 star territoire to moi(re?). 2 HIGHLIGHTS: You know Jimbo, they really don't make ceiling tile like they used to. Yeah, all covered in stagnant water and impossible to clean.

I don't think I like it as much as the last Brian Eno album I got two days ago, but it's still solid

Really strong start but kind of starts to fall flat midway through overall pretty good. I really like the classic rock vibes.

Eno was such an ingenious artist. He understood things about the role and feeling of music that few have. In this album, there’s endless creativity and experimental elemtents, but it doesn’t get lost in its own avant-garde nature. Instead, it perfectly encapsulates the avant-grade with excellent musical direction that retains each track’s palatability. Brian Wilson was another great example of this, and I think this has a lot of similarities with Pet Sounds. I’d like to do a deep dive on Eno’s entire discography someday, but until then I appreciate these inclusions on the list for someone I feel is relatively underrated in the music sphere today.

I thought it was fine. Still sounds like talking heads but with less fun.

It’s annoying to me that we’ve gotten another Eno album very early on in his solo career. They’re interesting from a perspective of how he got to his later work but I really think they’re vastly inferior. His work in groups should be used for that. This is a decent enough album by itself; it’s weird for the 70s and sounds a decade ahead of its time but it’s not better than the stuff that actually came out then. I didn’t hate it by any means I just think it’s a waste to be on here.

Kinda late beatlesy

Most of this I disliked a lot. A couple held my interest, but not even all the way through. Just another typical Brian Eno album.

Weird one

I have to admit that the list of 1001 Albums I Must Hear before I die gives what I would consider a lot more love to Brian Eno than he actually deserves. Sure, he was influential as a musician in both his solo career and Roxy Music. And his greatness as a producer is pretty much unquestionable. But his SEVEN total appearances rank him right up there with Morrissey (my traditional punching bag when I go on a rampage about ZERO Warren Zevon albums being included) as the most insanely superfluous artist on the list. I suppose that a case can be made for including this debut solo effort, especially since it includes much of the irritating overindulgence that can be found in EVERY Eno project. But Another Green World seems like a more coherently polished and considered choice for the ONE solo album I'd say he probably actually deserves.

I still don't get Brian Eno. I enjoyed this album more than the Ambient Sounds one, but this is to eclectic for my tastes.

Interesting album with a style very different from other releases. Almost ambient but with pop influences along the glam lines.

2.5

Experimental and weird with bits of brilliance . This album helps explain the gap between Brian Eno of Roxy Music and Brian Eno of Music for Airports. Also, the story of him using body gestures and interpretive dance to communicate with the musicians to make this album is hilarious.

Too much of Brian Eno for me in this list

From start to finish, it’s timeless.

Eno truly is a titan of modern music. His influence can be felt everywhere. This album is incredibly important to his musical journey, and it comes with some very big swings. The album is full of unconventional and uncomfortable sounds much of which is derived from the disparate group of session musicians he assembled for this album. There are some unique and fabulous moments on this album, and just about every track has some memorable and exciting element. That said, with big swings can come big misses and this album has a few of those. In particular, "Dead Finks Don't Talk" doesn't work for me at all (but the last 15 or so seconds is rather interesting). Still, there are more things that work than don't, and I certainly don't begrudge this album a place on the list. Favorite track: "Baby's On Fire" even before it gets to the guitar solo by Robert Fripp

Eno just never misses. Fantastic album, a bit more pop sensibility than his later stuff.

A bit crazy in places but interesting

Some slightly bonkers early 70s avant-garde shit going down here. But it has a groove and I enjoyed the guitar on it.

Rlly don't know what to think of this one

Brian’s getting weird in this one. It’s an interesting album, and although it’s hard to listen to at points, it’s still pretty good overall

Not as wilfully obscure as I was expecting, if I'm honest. Still wild and weird though such is the breadth of Brian Eno's imagination. Not as proggy as you think either, it's not too heavy on the electronics, choosing to stick with the guitars in most places, but there is plenty of soundscaping going on. Not too bad, actually.

Was cool then got wack

experimental at times but i didn't hate it. favs were "on some faraway beach" and "some of them are old"

The last track almost saved it for me until the drums kept drifting out of time. Some of it was pretty good, some a bit annoying. On a good day coulda been a 3

Fun, strange, and playfully experimental. Always listenable. So much going on here - 60s influences, glam rock, art rock noise layering. So many things that shouldn't work together that produce great and unexpected results. That creative risk that was root of all of his later work. Sounds so good today.

i appreciate him, but he often just lands flat for me

So warm I fell asleep

As much as I admire Brian Eno music, he boycott Israel, which is a shame. Music should not be political

Ah, Brian Eno. A producer with a taste for experimentation in music. Should be interesting, then. It was pretty interesting, if not quite as experimental as expected. It has a clear sensibility towards experimentation while staying within recognizable genre confines. I noticed that Eno's voice is markedly different from the deep vocals I expected, instead sounding almost like Billy Corgan in places. The lyrics are mostly nonsensical and serve only as garnish atop the compositions. This was a pretty interesting album to listen to, but it's not quite my favorite listen from this era. This album is ranked #19 of 26 albums for 1974. Other 1974 albums rated by me: Sheer Heart Attack(1/26)-5 Queen II(4/26)-4 Pretzel Logic(7/26)-3 Court and Spark(8/26)-4 Grievous Angel(22/26)-4

A wonderful playground of fun. You can see how he contributed to so many of the great pop records of the era.

Liked a couple tracks esp those with Fripp. But it isnt grabbing me straight away. Might listen again…maybe not…life’s too short

This is cool. When Eno isn't floating around like an alien, I'm a big fan

No private session used for Spotify. I knew this was going to be kind of weird and I was correct. I like weird, so it works. There are parts that are a bit hard to listen, but in an interesting way.

I gave it a try just not for me at all.

Beep boop ass music

THIS ALBUM'S ON FIYAAAA! I love how eccentric and zany this album is! Would not have expected this from "the ambient music guy" Brian Eno, but holy crap is this really great. Me thinks a chronological deep-dive of his discography is in the near future.

Brian Eno you delightful kook, you! I'll admit I came into this holding my breath, I'm also mostly familiar with Brian Eno from the ambient stuff and Talking Heads and Bowie collaborations but I know he has a reputation for being more difficult to access in his solo stuff. But this was a blast! You've got a little bit of everything in here, sometimes it sounds like surf rock, sometimes it sounds like early poppy Beatles, sometimes it sounds like later tinkery Beatles, sometimes it sounds like Heads, sometimes it sounds like "Heroes," the breadth is really something. This might become a repeated re-listen for me. The more I absorbed it the more I was into it. A really cool thing about this project is the way it's helping me understand and refine my own tastes. I don't think I would have said I was a big glam rock guy before we started this but the glammy portions of this album were some of my favorites and have consistently been among my favorites in a lot of what we've listened to so far. How fun to learn about yourself with your buddies! Second act montage needle drop in my biopic: "Needles In The Camel's Eye"
