HERE COME THE WARM JETS

First real solo album of ex-Roxy Music musician and future ambient genius Brian Eno. List of musicians is very impressive, but it tells,what the music there is all about. So, Andy Mackay/Phil Manzanera - doesn't it tell nothing to you? Put on 1973 year and Eno himslef. So, yes, you right, it is what it should be - perfect side-project album of Roxy Music.

And plenty of other highest level musicians there - Fripp, Wetton, Chris Spedding, Bill McCormick... So you have very interesting music; in fact, it is alternative version of Roxy Music , showing us what could be happened, if Eno, not Ferry stayed as their leader.

Generally, music is Roxy rhytms and multitextures, but much more filled by Eno's electronic sound and additional musicians prog-arrangements.

For me it's a bit strange to read negative reviews to this album. May be listeners, who came from Eno ambient albums, were disappointed. But qualified listener, coming chronologicaly from his Roxy Music time, will find just his first and very interesting step aside.

I can recommend this album for all Roxy Music fans, as well as Eno ( early before-ambient period) fans plus everyone who are interested in roots of art-glam-pop-rock ( early Dawid Bowie,etc.)
