Eno's solo debut album, originally released in 1974. Exciting, forward-looking, and densely detailed, revealing more intricacies with every play.

'Here Come The Warm Jets' was originally released in 1973 and produced by Brian Eno.

Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno is best known as a musician and producer. Eno was one of the founding members of Roxy Music (which he left in 1973) and is said to be one of the pioneers of ambient music with his solo works as well as recorded collaborations with King Crimson guitar supremo Robert Fripp.

His contribution towards music is too large to mention. Production credits include U2, David Bowie and James. He has written several books, created art installations, given numerous interviews (on a variety of subjects) and lectured intensively.

Eno's early recordings were rock based, though more experimental in sound and style than what was considered 'mainstream'. Even his lyrics often seem like streams of consciousness or unrelated sentences.

"Eno's solo debut 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."
