Reviews (page 8 of 8)
After hearing Roxy Music and loving everything they did, I must admit I was quite upset when Eno left. Then I listened to this album and you could tell how far apart Ferry and Eno were regarding their musical output. If people thought that this would be Roxy Part 2 they would have been sorely disappointed. This was Eno Part 1 and he never looked back. A great album which deserves listening to over and over.
The odd interesting groove but on balance there’s more annoying nonsense on here than good music.
Not really a big fan. There might have been like one or two songs that I sort of liked. Before and After Science was a much better album.
loved it, very Bowie esq at times
The album started off okay, after that it got to weird for me. Favourite song: - Needles in the camel’s eye
Wacky ENO ! It was alright, mostly, but I’m not a fan so only 2* I think
My heart dropped when I saw it was Eno again after the Music for Airports debacle. But I was pleasantly suprised and my heart soared on the 'Here Come the Warm Jets' title track. Its a solid 3 but I'll give it a 4 for that alone.
A record that I love and consider one of the best of the 70s - which is the best decade of music ever. So...
Ok, Brian Eno. I hated you so much after the first album of yours that I had to sit through. But - this album actually sounds like music. Like it has melodies and lyrics and stuff. It's still not my "thing" - but I actually kinda enjoyed this album.
Some interesting Art rock
Just not a fan of Eno.
Classic Eno 3+
This isn’t a genre I’m a huge fan of and listening to this album doesn’t really change that. It’s fine but washes over me a bit without being particularly memorable. I like some of the Bowie albums from this era (but not all) so again just not to my taste
First, I don't actually know Brian Eno's early solo music, though I do like Roxy Music. His name for me evokes \"ambient\" -- I have the app Bloom which I thought was great. So starting with just that shaky foundation, looking at this album, I don't know what to make of the title or the art. Starts out with Needles In The Camels Eye which I immediately link to the camel cigs in the album art maybe it's a big find it in the photo game? Otherwise the song strikes me as pretty forgettable. The next song, The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch, I like quite a bit but then gets weird in a way that doesn't make me want to put it in heavy rotation. Next up Baby's on Fire (better throw her in the water) sounds quite cool and is clearly clever. Solid guitar solo. But my first listen left me cold I had to go back and play it again to start to see what's good about it. I want to be the kind of person that appreciates experimental music and can immediately soak in the new ideas and revel in the weirdness. But I found it took several listens to start to get enjoyment from these songs. In other words, this album was a little bit of a chore. The creativity and confidence are evident. Clearly an important album. I love me some Bowie, Talking Heads, etc and Eno pushing the envelope is clearly how we get there. The album is brimming with ideas. But am I going to want to listen to this over and over for pleasure? No, I don't think so. I do, however, respect it.
I liked this much more than the other Eno one I got. I would listen to it again.
It's weird, it's surreal, it's touching, it's wonderful. Brian Eno is a thoroughly talented artist and those talents are on full display here.
One of the best records of the 70s.
Really solid glam/electric/guitar rock.
Classic. One of the best and most important 70s glam/art rock albums.
Way cooler than I expected, gets pretty far out in places but all very interesting.
This was fine. Vocals are horrific though.
I actually enjoyed this album i thought it was funky and fun to listen to! 3.5/5
I don't think I fully "get" this album. (...yet?...) It's not bad - there's a lot of melody in here. But in terms of songs and structure/writing, there's far less. And yet from reading about it that seems exactly the intent. Brain..lacking..anchor. Something I definitely appreciate from Eno's own words was that lyrics were a true afterthought for many of these songs, if not all - making the voice "just" another instrument. e.g. "On Some Faraway Beach" is nearly all instrumental with a lovely if not simple melody and the vocals don't come in until late in the song, almost as just an orchestral addition. I like that non-traditional aspect of it. Yet for every time I think I enjoy the different aspect/s of the album, I find myself reaching for something to sink into. Some hook or memorable chorus - anything - to keep me coming back. e.g. "Dead Finks Don't Talk" is ... different. 4 minutes of being different within itself. I love the piano / drum march intro then the vocals join which are most unexpected and jarring. This song is a good microcosm of the album itself. 6/10 3 stars - I think this is a tough one to give much higher on only one or two listens - potential slow burn and will come back to this one.
Punishing.
Not a bad album but a lot of it is pretty unique instrumentals. It’s experimental and in the 70s it probably has some first sounds. Nothing I’d return to though. 5.8/10
Not my favorite of his. Lot of interesting ideas, but too chaotic for me.
Brian Eno’s David Bowie cosplay 7/10
8/10. Kinda low 8. Nothing really jumped out at me as spectacular, but it avoided sameyness and didn't overstay its welcome.
Really interesting production techniques and composition, but a weak middle and some mixing issues keeps it from being astounding. 8/10
Interesting
Experimental glam rock, yet detailed and polished, and it hit the heady heights of 26 in the album charts at some point in 1973, and that's what it is, a minor hit for a minority. Why would I listen to this again?
Bin iwie kein Fan von seiner Art zu singen und es waren jetzt ein paar 70ies Alben zu viel, hört sich grad alles gleich an für mich. Sehr banausig, ich weiß. Zum Teil ist es mir auch zu abgespaced, da braucht man wohl die Drogen der Zeit
Eh ganz cool, radiohead meets ccr meets Phantom Planet oder so irgendwie...
Ganz geil eigentlich, bissl weird, bissl lustig, steckt viel drinnen
Quirky like Bowie but nowhere near as cool
Experimental, loved it. Baby's on fire was my faves
I didn’t really know what to think about this one. It didn’t like it or dislike it really. I was rather indifferent to it. I feel like I’d here this if I was sitting in a hipster bar and as long as the volume wasn’t about like 4 and I could still converse with my friends (fully vaccinated of course), then it’d be cool. I wouldn’t seek it, but I wouldn’t hijack the jukebox to change it either. 🤷🏾♂️
My kind of 70s! Love the “glam-rock art pop” (thanks Wikipedia!) sound. Driving Me Backwards, On Some Faraway Beach, Some of Them Are Old, and the title track were all highlights. There were a few misses (Blank Frank was bad bad), but I really enjoyed listening this. I could definitely see owning this on vinyl.
Weird. Kinda good, kinda bad. Think this one needs to sink in a bit more before I decide whether I actually like it or not. For now it's a 3 star for me.
not for me
Very interesting.. 3 Some are just pretty bad. 2
Hey pretty good. Got a little weird towards the end but it's Brian Eno. I was a bit surprised the first half of the album WASN'T as weird as I was expecting.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found myself really liking this album. Great guitar solo on "Baby's On Fire" and while there is some experimental stuff on here, I think most of it works pretty well.
Amazing album.
It's like putting spoons in a blender and hitting the "Puree" button.
This was a unique album. Each song sounded notably different from one another in a good way. Fav song: Driving Me Backwards
This album is really dope
Deceptively 70s rock until it isn't anymore. Songs like 'On Some Faraway Beach' sound almost as if they could've been written by Arcade Fire or Neutral Milk Hotel. Though not as experimental and ambient as Eno's later work, this album challenges the notion of what popular music is.
Second listen. I heard this first from the Rolling Stone top 500 list. First time, I thought it was ok, but this time the songs are really sticking with me. I am enjoying the sounds and lyrics. Definitely fits the time with other acts like David Bowie. 3/5.
Didn't listen to the whole thing. Reminded me of other songs I listened to with this and went down a rabbit hole with old music I used to listen to. Good times.
mad mad album, yet really liked it!
Actually quite liked it
Not listened to this before, a real pity. This is a pretty wonderful album, perhaps a few tracks of their time, but many are still fresh sounding. End to end, joyful. Top tracks: Baby’s on fire, On some faraway beach, here come the warm jets
First time of listening to this, can hear Enos's Influence on Bowie and Iggy on this album. Love "Needles In The Camels Eye" and "Baby's On Fire" "Cindy Tells Me" is reminiscent of early Velvet Underground.
I know this album is a little challenging or odd for some listeners, but it’s actually one of Brian Eno’s more accessible albums. He’s working with a pop and rock palette but using his more avant-garde sensibility to push at the seams of what we’re used to hearing. It's 1973, a couple of years after T.Rex first put out Electric Warrior, same year as Queen's debut album and as Aladdin Sane. Eno is fresh off his time in Roxy Music. He fits in well into that art-prog-glam context, building on his work with Roxy, but he's pushing our comfort levels even more. Musically it rocks, it struts, it grates, it twists, it veers off key, it wanders from the noisy back into the lovely and sublime. It’s never boring. I love the anecdote that Eno chose the musicians for the album based on the idea that they were musically incompatible. He fully expected that there would be conflict and competition, resulting in musical “accidents.” It’s a creative risk that pays off with some of the more unusual and interesting rock songs from the past half century. The musicians he collaborates with are all top caliber, including several of his bandmates from Roxy Music. Robert Fripp’s and Phil Manzanera’s brilliant, far-ranging guitar work is worth the price of admission, they’re so good at what they do. The lyrics are whimsical, campy, and largely nonsensical, on purpose. I've said this before about Eno when I reviewed Before and After Science. It's not about understanding the lyrics, which are just a delivery method for the vocal instrument. And Eno’s vocals are always great, posh, aloof and wry but also emotionally affecting at times. “On Some Faraway Beach” is a good example of this, with a sweetness and a pathos you aren’t really expecting. I like that he jumps from that song into “Blank Frank,” which is such a noisy and jarring tonal switch. I think this is totally intentional, keeping us on our toes as listeners. This is one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite artists. I’ve been listening to it for the better part of 40 years, and it never ceases to delight me. It’s a great entry into his earlier “rock” oriented phase of the 70s. But don’t stop there if you like it. He has a whole career of adventurous and compelling music to explore, both in his own work and as a producer. Fave Songs: Needles in the Camel's Eye, On Some Faraway Beach, Some Of Them Are Old, The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch, Here Come the Warm Jets, Dead Finks Don't Talk
3.5/5
not baddd
Didn’t know anything off this one either. It was alright
blah
am unusual and confusing mix of sounds. reminds one of Bowie + Elvis Costello
Punk. A bit weird
I think this album was my first introduction to Eno (if I’m remembering right, my brother put Baby’s on Fire on one of the many comp tapes he made me). The presence of Needle in the Camel’s Eye on the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack renewed my interest. The experimentalism pushes against listenability at some points but this is a great album.
4.54 It's bad to compare but it was like listening to a crazier and wackier Bowie. I'm glad to have been able to discover this artist. Needles In The Camel's Eye is a road trip song if I ever heard one, Cindy Tells Me is an opening song for an '80s romantic comedy while On Some Faraway Beach is my new The Cure's Plainsong.
babys of fire
Really cool, unusual too and I just enjoyed it overall.
This grew on me as the album went on, and by the end I was completely sucked in. Then I saw the list of people Brian Eno has worked with... Makes a lot of sense. Pretty genius stuff
So - so
Bon ben le vrai talent dans Roxy Music c'est Bryan Ferry Pas foncierement nul mais aucune bonne chanson dans l'album
Favs: Needles in the Camel's Eyes / Some Of Them Are Old Score: Decent 3
I have now spent 42 minutes with Brian Eno, and I have learned nothing. I've heard the name a lot over the years, and I always got the sense that his was a name you dropped if you were about to say, "you probably don't GET it." Well, I don't.
I can definitely hear the inspiration for the beetles’ later albums in this album. The music alright. Could’ve been better if it wasn’t so noisy some times.
Skemmtilega experimental.
Okay
I got to 'driving me backwards' and turned it off. he might be influential, but this is ABSOLUTE SHIT.
This was fine, not really my cup of tea
Roxy music in disguise
Went very quickly from "What...is this" to "Yeah I can dig it." Super creative, musically enjoyable, and the details are amazing when you notice them. I'd definitely give this another listen to see what else I pick up on.
Quite a boring album but it got me listening to some newer stuff of his and enjoy the instrumental ones
Stunning, exciting and funny. And the music is brilliant.
I feel like Eno has been overhyped over the years and some of this sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me... but there really are some really innovative and delightful moments here.
First track absolute classic. You can hear the elements here that will appear in future Eno production work Cindy Tells Me - Cannibal Ox sample So many good ideas Title track is a top 10 track of all time for me
Love the opener. Rest, not at all.
Eno was a very busy man around this time. But before he worked with Bowie, Genesis, Devo, and the Talking Heads, he released Here Come The Warm Jets. Also notably before his ambient works, this leans more into the art/glam rock that he would also help produce with Bowie. Let's call a spade a spade: Eno is a goddamn genius. He's experimental approach to production means he's not afraid to take risks and try new things. I truly believe his music acts as a blueprint for others, as we can see elements of the songs here get incorporated into future songs and albums. Even if I don't like all the songs on here, I think it's an important album that's worth visiting at least once. Worthy of being on the list, no doubt.
quirky, I liked it!
A great album , I didn´t knew this existed but It sounds like a bowie album on his glam era .
Stone cold classic- love it.
very cool
Very unique album, like David Bowie but with more genres mixed in. I can see how it might have inspired many other flavors of pop music.
3.5
not my thing
I really liked that. Worth a re listen.
look what funny sounds i can make
One of the best albums ever - 5 stars is not enough. :-)
Enjoyed that a lot more than I though I would. Very creative.
Fanade
Quirky, noisy, artsy rock brimming with ideas whilst still having a pop sensibility underneath.
Pretty good but didn't blow me away.
Quién invito a Ryan emo... Nocierto si está dos trenzas ...3
Ño me enloqueció
Obra de arte.
Quizá este disco no fue mucho para mí, pero encontré varios momentos emocionantes y como soy poco versado en Brian Eno, de pronto no era lo que esperaba. Aun así, aunque muy anclado a un sonido de su momento (entre psicodélico, grandilocuente, luego tipo beatlesco), me gustó "Driving Me Backwards", ese final de "Dead Finks Don't Talk" y "Here Come The Warm Jets". Agradable, agradable. Le doy 7.5/10
I feel like this is what you would get if the Talking Heads were one guy and somehow a bit weirder. Still some catchy stuff but overall pretty out there.
Glam but with a heavy dose of experimentation. A little up-its-own-butt throughout the majority of the record. When it focuses on writing a good pop tune, it nails it. It just doesn't focus that often. Favorite tracks: "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch", "Blank Frank"
Brian Eno is so interesting for all of the different sounds and space he likes to explore. His first solo album is really centered around a mix of glam rock and "art pop" that seemed to be the avant-garde sound of the time, picking up where he left off with Roxy Music. However, a lot of these songs take influence outside of those genres and bend them to fit a thematic record. "Cindy Tells Me" for example takes the framework of a Beach Boys-esque pop song and throws in a psychedelic approach by adding in distorted guitars. This isn't the space that I most celebrate Eno as an artist, but it's also uncharted territory for me. It's music that takes time to sink in. Overall, it lays the groundwork for one of the most brilliant producers the music industry has ever seen, and it's a really fun album if this is your type of wheelhouse. Favorite Song: Baby's On Fire Least Favorite Song: Drive Me Backwards
Is this good? Is this bad? Who knows? It is just uncategorisable. I listen once I think it’s absolute drivel. I listen again, I think there’s something incredible to it. You can tell Eno has some spark of genius/madness and the contribution he made to Roxy Music, Bowie and Talking Heads is discernible from this record. Do I want to listen again? Yes. And also no. I’m not reaching for the album anytime soon. But I am adding it to my library. The three stars isn’t fair but it’s all I have right now. It’s a placeholder until I make up my mind. Is this a one star? Or a five star?
neat!
Fantastic, art rock, theatrical majesty
Reminds me of Bowie, and its a little shoegazey in places too. Overall not super exciting though
i particularly loved The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch, which is almost the least-played track on this album, according to spotify. i thought it was one of the best, along with Here Come The Warm Jets, and Baby's On Fire. TL;DR: enough is cool.
Quite good album, not amazing.
This was mostly pretty good. Particularly liked Baby's on Fire; Cindy Tells Me. Didn't really like: Driving Me Backwards; Blank Frank; Dead Finks Don't Talk.
3/5 niceish album, but not enough
Not so sure about this…
I feel like I would enjoy this more if there weren't sounds or vocal stylings in at least every second song that feel like they were put there with the express purpose of being annoying.
Good stuff.
Avant garde
pretty great
Familiar glam flavours … Bowie, Roxy and 50’s recreations Like the more left field Eno
solid album
Eno vocals are the worst.
First heard Baby's on Fire when I was in high school and Robert Fripp became a legend to me from then on. But it was only after discovering Eno through Another Green World that I realized the true genius behind that song. It was only after falling under the spell of the masterpiece AGW that I returned to Here Come The Warm Jets and discovered another Eno masterpiece. I love his way with a melody and his quirky musical genius. 5 🌟 is due just for Fripp's iconic guitar solo on Baby's on Fire, but there's so much more .
It was okay, nothing all too exciting or memorable
A really neat album, definitely got some tracks I’ll listen to again. Interested to hear Brian Eno’s other albums
well made, hes a great producer but i wasnt a huge fan of it
Experimental and beautiful. Eno crafted a masterpiece of an album for his solo debut.
Just couldn't get into it
un poco psicodelia está guay pero se me ha hecho largo
Ok
Here Come The Warm Jets is an interesting album whose genius may not be fully explored in one day. It heavily -and naturally- recalls Talking Heads or Bowie’s albums and feels like their experimental cousin. Eno’s HCTWJ is brave and every song has its own idea way too big to be completely listened to in a day.
Not sure what I just listened to, but it wasn't all bad, I guess? I see people comparing it to Bowie and I'm confused because this is nothing like Bowie unless you just think everything weird is 'like Bowie.'
Huh ?
Always a fan of alternative rock.
When I was a kid I would see a piano or keyboard and just play meaningless shit. I wish I had the know with all like Brain to record it and make it an album. Album cover gives me some serious Silence of the Lambs Vibes. "Put the lotion in the basket." Here Come the Warm Jets. Is that a reference to peeing in the pool?
This is kind of what the previous album should have been. While I think Barry Adamson took himself too seriously in not taking himself seriously, this strikes a better balance. More musically interesting and innovative too. Favourite track: “Some of Them Are Old”
Extremely weird album. I liked the wonky Paw Paw Blowtorch song because it was just so whacky. There was another good track on it but the last one (or the one before that) was so egregiously awful that I had to give up. The last song definitely soured my opinion on that album. Won't ever listen to again, I'm afraid. Also, obligatory never heard of that guy.
Smorgasbord of an album but overall pleasant listening.
Good? Presumably very conceptual for the time but it didn’t grip me really.
...und du sahst aus wie der junge Brian Eno ...nachweinen guten Tag!
kind of annoying but catchy... nice vibe production-wise "driving backwards" is HORRENDOUS my god i had to turn it off just shut up "some of them are old" is quite nice last song is shoegaze amazing
Pretty cool
I listen to most of this, but I just couldn't finish it. It's not my thing, but maybe it's someone's...
super whiny. if it's not Apollo, I don't want it.
And here I am again, confessing my ignorance of yet another larger-than-life name in latter-half 20th-century popular music. Brian Eno's name has been present in my mind for probably 35 years, and yet I don't recall ever consciously listening to his work. I've heard some collaborations of his, vaguely, and know he's widely admired by all sorts of music folk like critics, fans, and fellow musicians. I do know his reputation for constantly reinventing himself, and even though this is the only album of his I've ever listened to, I can hear that even within the ten tracks on this work. I can also imagine that for its time (1974), it pushed some boundaries, which is always healthy for any artform, or society in general. I might give this another listen some time because there definitely are layers I'm sure I missed the first time through, but I don't much like it. It's not something I am psyched to listen to regularly, at least that's not how it feels to me right now. Might be suffering a bit from how I've heard a lot of other music from around that time (as well as before it and after it) that was fairly similar, and it's never quite grabbed me. Sometimes feels like it's being, I don't know, "avante garde" or odd for its own sake, or trying to be funny but it doesn't make me laugh, but that's a bit silly of me because I have no idea what Brian Eno or his fellow performers on this album were thinking or feeling.
10/10
A little too abstract for my taste.
One song I liked. I think a lot of this is too experimental for me so far but maybe I'll get used to it
Had moments but I did not like what was done with the vocals, might have been something in the harmonies that was throwing me off. Also did not listen to this album in the best mood so I skipped the back half of a couple songs once they had lost me.
Love the creativity and the shoegaze-esque atmosphere. Very ahead of its time. Solid album, strong 3 low 4.
Very experimental but more enjoyable than I had been expecting
Dated, not much going on
Very different to the ambient stuff by Eno I've listened to previously. It had some ok moments but I struggled to get into it.
Not for me. Doesn't offend my ears but I'd definitely skip these if they came on
Ok
An interesting one for sure, but not really a strong record IMO
not bad
Verrassend, ik had me schrap gezet voor veel experimentele geluiden en gedoe maar dat viel mee. Er staan en paar mooie nummers op en het deed me zelfs soms denken aan Ween. Deze ga ik nog wel eens luisteren
Really liked some tracks - others were more of a struggle. Very Bowie/Roxy Music sounding
Meh
Paw paw negro blowtorch?
Bij sommige nummers vroeg ik me af of de zanger naar dezelfde muziek luistert die ik hoor?
De meer Roxy Music-achtige nummers kan ik wel waarderen maar over het geheel veel te rommelig en arty voor mijn smaak.
Hier knapt toch geen mens van op?
Enon Brian yllätti tällä kertaa positiivisesti ja tällä lätyllä kolkuteltiin jo kolmosen porteilla, mutta kakkoseksi silti jää. Meininki levyllä oli popimpaa ja vähemmän kokeellista kuin Music for airportsilla tai My life in the bush of ghostsilla. Ei kuitenkaan mitään hittibiisejä tai muutenkaan sellaista yleistunnelmaa, mikä erityisesti kannustaisi kuuntelemaan levyä enempää.
Some great songs I already knew.
Always great votes for Eno!
4.7 + Immediately I'm hooked from the grimy guitars and that first shriek on "Needles...". So many strange images and sounds crammed into these 42 minutes. Just listen to the layers of sound in "Baby's on Fire" - the drum track alone warrants a deep dive. There's the analog synth sound in the middle "Cindy Tells Me" that I can only describe as a cicada flying by my head. It's heady, amphetamine-fuled fun.
Loved it-early alt/punk. Weird and delicious. Starred nearly every song.
Highlights: Cindy Tells Me, Blank Frank, Dead Finks Don't Talk Which came first? The Eno, The Iggy, or The Bowie? It doesn't matter...I don't think any of them would exist without each other. Certainly Here Come The Warm Jets is half-serious throughout but glammy goofiness and artsy irreverence throughout, referencing colorful characters (I want to meet Cindy, but probably want to avoid Blank Frank). There is a lot of experimentation going on musically, but it's sure-footed and confident. Dead Finks Don't Talk is a haunting masterpiece that I can't stop listening to. There isn't a boring moment on here until the sendoff with the eponymous track that sort of can't wait to end but gets a bit dragged out.
i liked the songs later in the album - soothing
Primer disc d'Eno en solitari després de sortir de Roxy Music. És un d'aquells àlbums que tot i tenir pràcticament 50 anys segueix sonant potent, actual i excitant. El tractament sonor de les guitarres en general i d'alguns efectes electrònics en particular li donen una àura hipnòtica. Imprescindible.
Just alot of experimental music it sounds like. Don't really care for it. 2/10.
Leeeento
Eno rejects a memo whether he needs to conform, making a pretty chilled out album. Needed a headphone listen, perfect after a mad day at work
I've been a big fan of Eno for a long time, both his solo works and also his incredible producing with the Davids Bowie and Byrne. This is not my favorite album, though. It's a bit too poppy, and nothing like his later ambient works. It's just fine!
Quite a few songs that I greatly enjoyed, quite a few that I didn’t care for. A perfect 3
Experimental, but without direction which makes it hard to follow at times.
Rock experimental. Interesante
Oh no! Master level trolling. Most of it I wouldn't really call music, but it has great entertainment value. And the instrumental tracks are spot on. I read that in his next albums he focused more on ambience music and I'm thrilled to hear more from him. Four stars, suck it Lou Reed!
A fun listen - didn't grab me nearly as hard as "Before and After Science", though. Fave track - not sure - quite like "Baby's on Fire", but the oddness of "Dead Finks Don't Talk" appeals, as does the triumphant almost kazoo-ness of "Here Come The Warm Jets"
bowie-esque
Here Come the Warm Jets is the debut solo album by British musician Brian Eno, released on Island Records in January 1974. It was recorded and produced by Eno following his departure from the band Roxy Music, and blends glam and pop stylings with avant-garde approaches. Eno enlisted sixteen guest musicians to play on the album, who were invited on the basis that Eno thought they were musically incompatible with each other.
Got better as it went on. Loved a couple - On Some Faraway Beach & Here Come the Warm Jets
Pretty enjoyable another trippy Brian eno experience
Seems to get lost trying to cram in a many weird sounds as possible
I’d heard of Briann Eno and only knew one song. I really like his Brit pop style and he reminds me of Mark Bolan from T Rex’s voice and David Bowie lyrically and slightly in style. I really enjoyed the album and will seek out more of Eno’s work in the future
Weird
Fine listen, but not essential for my taste.
Great to hear an album by Brian Eno as an artist, as I have heard plenty that he has worked on or had a hand in making or influencing! Lots of weird and great stuff on this album. Highlights: -Needles In the Camel's Eye -On Some Faraway Beach -Here Come the Warm Jets
Better than Roxy music. He’s a music icon, but never listened. Thought this would be more experimental. There was some fun experiments especially with the last few songs, made it worth it.
Get this guy out of here
not my jam
- yeah this is cool - where did music for airports come from - halfway through its more okay than cool - song 7: this could be over I think, i'm zoned out -skipped through the last 3, last one sounds ok - imagine how much better this list would have been if it was limited to 1 album per artist
While the front half of this album tends to lose the plot in all its production tricks, the back half manages to nail the balance between instrumentation and cohesion. A solid Bowie-esque experimental album all around.
Worth a listen but nothing remarkable
mais fraco q o outro do eno
No idea what to expect here. Brian has such huge range in his work. 😊 Enjoyed this. You wouldn't think it was the same guy who wrote music for airports!
Ensimmäisen biisin perusteella ajattelin jopa, että olisiko tässä vihdoin levy johon Brian Enon "kultainen kosketus" ei olisi vaikuttanut niin pahasti. Noh realiteetit löi päin kasvoja jo heti seuraavien biisien aikana. Tekotaiteellista outoilua ilman punaista lankaa on tämäkin. Kertakuuntelu riitti mielipiteen muodostamiseen.
Love love love. The arrangements are standouts for sure. They really allow the track and album to breathe. Great use of space and textures. Will be coming back to this one often
eh, the middle was pretty good
Baby's on Fire- Fist song we get to that sounds ok Finished the album. I don't get it. What is so great about this?
Very unmemorable. Nothing much to dislike, but nothing I particularly enjoyed either.
Amazing Paw paw is a great track as is Finks don’t talk
'On Some Faraway Beach' is such a great song, as are a few others on this album - 'Needles in the Camel's Eye', in particular. A lot of really weird ones, too - very avant garde
Don’t really like this genre of music.
What an interesting album. So filled with noise, but purposeful at the same time. There's a clear influence of the later Beatles, but without sounding like he's trying to be the Beatles. 4/5
Jetzt bin ich gespannt! Mir bekannter Name für die „Ambient“ Reihe. Das Album ist mir jedoch unbekannt. Es ist auch grundverschieden. Die Musik ist okay, aber der Sänger macht es mal wieder kaputt. Oder die Sänger? Dabei zeigt er zu Beginn, dass er durchaus singen kann, jault und jammert dann jedoch in den meisten späteren Tracks wie ein läufiger Kater. Bewerte ich jetzt das Album oder den Künstler? Kann ich leider keine Pluspunkte für geben.
Muutama ihan ok biisi sekä muutama hirvitys...
Not a fan
Brian eno? More like Brian shit
Some great songs here
expected a solo album from a self-proclaimed "non-musician" producer to perhaps include interesting collaborations and subdued vocals. Mostly, though, it's nonsense sung loudly and poorly over repetitive and uncreative instrumentation. There were three tracks that I (mostly) liked, and two of them had weird tags. On Some Faraway Beach ends abruptly with what sounds like somebody taking a piano lesson, and Some Of Them Are Old fades away into 30 full seconds of wind chimes. Less than the sum of its parts. Best track: Here Come The Warm Jets
Really diverse set of songs, good for mind wandering
Never been a fan of Enos
Vähän meni ohi eikä jäänyt mitään erikoisesti mieleen
Felt like a Bowie album ahah. Good listen
Unique and innovative
Disco maravilhoso! Não conhecia, e hoje, um dia depois de o conhecer já sei várias músicas de cor!
