Here Come the Warm Jets ( "Here come the warm rays") is the first solo album by Brian Eno and was founded in 1974 in Iceland Records published. Stylistically, Here Come the Warm Jets is a hybrid between glam rock and art rock , similar to the previous albums with Roxy Music , but the pieces are more experimental.

Various guest musicians appear on the album, for example Robert Fripp from King Crimson and members of Roxy Music , Hawkwind , Matching Mole and the Pink Fairies . Eno used unusual methods in the production of the album. For example, he danced in front of the band members and asked them to make music while speaking nonsense words from which he later developed the lyrics. Here Come the Warm Jets reached number 26 on the United Kingdom charts and 151 on the US Billboard charts. The critics rated the album mostly positive.

production

Here Come the Warm Jets was recorded over twelve days in September 1973 at Majestic Studios in London . The unit manager was Derek Chandler. The album was mixed at the Air and Majestic Studios by Brian Eno and Chris Thomas . The title of the album was first described by Eno as a slang term for urinating; he told Mojo magazine , however, that the name came from the guitar that was used on the title track and which he called "warm jet guitar" because it sounded like a tuned jet.

Eno invited a total of sixteen guest musicians to record the album, including John Wetton and Robert Fripp, Simon King of Hawkwind, Bill MacCormick of Matching Mole, Paul Rudolph of the Pink Fairies, Chris Spedding and all members of Roxy Music except their singer Bryan Ferry . One of the selection criteria for the musicians was musical incompatibility. Eno about the line-up:

“(I) ... got them together merely because I wanted to see what happens when you combine different identities like that and allow them to compete .... (The situation) is organized with the knowledge that there might be accidents, accidents which will be more interesting than what I had intended. "

“(I) ... brought them together just to see what happens when you combine different characters and allow them to compete ... (The situation) is organized with the knowledge that there may be accidents but there are accidents perhaps more interesting than what I intended. "

- Eric Tamm : Brian Eno: His Music and the Vertical Color of Sound . Da Capo Press, 1995.

Eno guided the musicians through body language , dance and verbal suggestion to influence their playing and the band sound. He thought it was a good way to communicate with the musicians. The album states that Eno played instruments such as snake guitar , simple piano, and electric larynx (electric larynx). These terms were used to describe the tonal characteristics of the instruments. After the recording, Eno partially remixed the individual tracks so that some of the tracks bore little resemblance to what the musicians had recorded during the session.

style

The songs on Here Come the Warm Jets refer to different musical styles. The overall style of the album was described as "glammed-up art-pop", with borrowings from glam rock and art rock as well as avant-garde influences. On some tracks, Eno mimicked Bryan Ferry's vocals . The singing on other songs like Baby's on Fire has been described as "nasal and slightly snotty singing". Borrowings from the music of the 1950s were also made.
