Reviewby Steve Huey
Eno's solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets, 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.
