Deluxereissue of Brian Eno’s solo debut.Before his highly influential ambient works,Brian Enowas already a notable musician, working withBryan FerryandRoxy Music. It was around this time that he stepped out on his own with 1973’sHere Comes the Warm Jets, a hybrid of the glam and art rock styles he had already come to know, but with a more experimental edge. Along withKing Crimson’s Robert Fripp(who he would later work with on the incredibleFripp & Enorecordings), Roxy Music members, andHawkwind, he pushed this particular style and ended up with a classic album that stands the test of time. Includes all the jams like “Needles In The Camel’s Eye,” “Baby’s On Fire,” “Blank Frank,” and my personal favorite, the title cut “Here Come The Warm Jets.” Recommended.
