Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno produced an album in 1973 entitled "Here Come The Warm Jets." This album was released on Island Records and was Eno's first solo album following his stint in Roxy Music.

The album combines glam and progressive rock and, in my opinion, foreshadows Eno's foray into ambient and electronic art forms of music.

Several other artists that played on this album, including Robert Fripp, went on to create names for themselves in other aspects of experimental rock. Rock that, despite coming years before the rock that would inspire post-rock, is essentially pre-rock post-rock, to get non-linearly metaphysical.

These songs seem absolutely timeless and, if one was not aware of when it was released, could easily be deemed to have been created in a basement studio last week. Absolutely brilliant stuff.
