History Music / HereComeTheWarmJets

''Here Come the Warm Jets'' is a 1974 album by Music/BrianEno. ''Jets'' was Eno’s solo debut, after playing synth and tape effects on Music/RoxyMusic’s first two albums and recording the experimental ''(No Pussyfooting)'' with Music/KingCrimson founder Music/RobertFripp. Fripp plays on the album, as do Eno's former Roxy bandmates Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay, and Paul Thompson. It’s probably his glammiest album, but also very eclectic.

* ShoutOut: The title track is a rare example of a ''conceptual'' Shout Out, to a work called ''With Hidden Noise'' by French artist Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp wanted to make a work of art which would include objects that were unknown even to him, so he took a ball of twine (the kind with a large core) and got a friend, Walter Arensberg, to place a small object inside but not tell Duchamp what it was, and then the ball of twine was clamped between two metal plates held together with bolts, so that the object rattled. The plates have never been unbolted so, this day, nobody knows what's inside.[[note]]Well, except for Arensberg, and he died in 1954. Duchamp later had various replicas made, and he didn't know what was inside them either.[[/note]] On "Here Come the Warm Jets", Eno attempted something similar: he recorded the vocal track and then mixed it so low that you can't make out what he's singing, then threw away any lyric sheets and did his best to forget what the words are. (He may also have got rid of the master tapes.) As a result, not only does nobody know what the lyrics are, it's supposed to be impossible to find out.[[note]]This has not stopped people from using audio processing equipment to decipher them, however.[[/note]]

* Verbal Tic: The horrified shriek of "Oh no!" in "Dead Finks Don't Talk", which after about a dozen repetitions becomes hilarious.
