CD Eno* – Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno’s 1974 debut solo masterpiece, Here Come The Warm Jets, is a definitive landmark of post-glam art rock. This 1988 reissue on EG Records captures the explosive transition from Eno’s departure from Roxy Music into his career as a sonic architect. The album is a dense, high-velocity "joyride" that prioritizes raw energy and experimental "gestalt" over traditional production polish.

The record features legendary performances, most notably from King Crimson’s Robert Fripp, whose three-minute "blistering" and "face-melting" guitar solo on "Baby's On Fire" remains one of the most celebrated moments in rock history. From the frantic, "startling" opening chords of "Needles In The Camel’s Eye" to the left-field synth experimentation of "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch," the album oscillates between aggressive guitar-driven tracks and jet-age pop sensibilities.

• Needles In The Camel’s Eye: A high-octane opener featuring dense, multi-tracked vocals and "pure post-glam energy."
• Baby's On Fire: A minimalist masterpiece center-pieced by Fripp's legendary, "pulverizing" guitar work.
• Cindy Tells Me: A 1950s-inspired track showcasing Eno’s genuine vocal performance and a "jet-age" suburban narrative.
• Sonic Innovation: Features Eno’s trademark experimental touches, including slowed-down wind chimes and unique "dolphin-like" synthesizer solos.

For fans and collectors, this CD reissue offers a gateway into the "bizarre" and "wonderfully ugly" soundscapes that defined the early career of one of music's greatest visionaries.
