Thankies, mate. A formative album for me. I fondly remember borrowing my dad's copy. A definiteoso unsquawking mess.

I prefer Taking Tiger Mountain. Ever tried that one? A bit subtler and more subdued.

Will give it a spin, thanks. I like his ambient stuff.

Agreed. I like the opener but terrible production on the vocals that has dated worse than sodastream and never relents throughout. The combination of that and the whimsy just gets on my nerves. Listened to individual tracks, tries and failed to make it through the whole thing.

Great album, great documentary. A real snapshot in time. Watching Eno fiddle around with analog synths could fill a whole series

It's a fantastic album, life-changing for me in the way that others talk about Bowie. "Whimsy" indeed.
Thanks for this.

Yeah I also find it odd that fans of Eno, or even just fans of experimental rock music of the era, could find anything remotely detestable about this album. I also don't think it's badly produced at all, I think it's wonderful and it sounds great. That fucking wailing guitar solo on Baby's On Fire blows my balls off.

I listened to Here Come The Warm Jets again at the weekend. That fucked up bit at the end of 'Dead Finks Don't Talk' is amazing.  There's a real sense of revelling in sonic adventure throughout the album. I haven't seen the doc linked to in the OP but I've read Eno started the sessions by dancing about and getting the musicians to soundtrack his capering then using that as the basis for a song.
