Notes:
Here Come the Warm Jets is the debut solo album by Brian Eno. Produced by Eno, it was released on Island Records in 1973. The musical style of Here Come the Warm Jets is a hybrid of glam rock and art rock, similar to Eno's previous album work with Roxy Music but with songs that are more quirky and experimental. The album features various guest musicians, including Robert Fripp of King Crimson, members of Roxy Music, Hawkwind, Matching Mole, and The Pink Fairies. In developing the album's words and music, Eno used abstract methods such as dancing for his band members and having them play accordingly, and singing nonsense words to himself that would form the basis of subsequent lyrics.
Here Come the Warm Jets peaked at number 26 on the United Kingdom album charts and number 151 on the U.S. Billboard charts, receiving a number of positive reviews. It was re-issued on compact disc in 1990 on Island Records and in 2004 on Virgin Records, and continued to elicit praise. Critic Steve Huey of Allmusic stated that the album "still sounds exciting, forward-looking, and densely detailed, revealing more intricacies with every play".

Eno's first step out of the Roxy Music life support system is a thrilling triumph of unfettered creativity gone wild! Even the segues between songs achieve maximum impact. Is there a more electric moment that the last note of the pensive "On Some Faraway Beach" juxtaposed next to the cold opening of "Blank Frank?" "Baby's On Fire" features Robert Fripp's most ridiculously aggressive soloing ever! The album is suggestive of a larger world and an all time classic of creative and exciting rock music.
