Eno's still something of a mystery to me as I've literally just listened to the music. My engagement with anything outside that amounts to seeing the odd photo of him, reading the story about the music being very quiet whilst he was ill in bed and having a quick glance at an online version of Oblique Strategies.

I think Warm Jets may have better tunes but Tiger Mountains a charmer. The songs are doubly weird and the production, all brittle and flat, is great. Whole thing sounds like it could be transposed to 8 bit music for some old dungeon crawler. And fat Lady of Limbourg may be my favorite across both.

"Here Come the Warm Jets" is on my funeral playlist
would like to have my corpse put on a raft and pushed on a river run to sea with this one

Always cracked up at this one off AGW. Something about that bass. Sounds like the soundtrack to someone awkwardly clicking their fingers and shuffling their feet. Love the little synth part at the end.

literally just listened to the music
after the first two records everything is dead boring

even you don't know the backstory everything is weighed down by the ponderous weight of self-importance

it's not like one thing being good makes another thing bad, but everything he gets credit for someone else is doing it better and more interesting

the 70s were filled with weirdos art rock weirdos make weird art rock that was both weird and rocked, unlike post-Warm Jets Eno

and if you want process music there's all the big minimalists

can we get the padraig list of seminal 70's art rock weirdos?

admittedly the self-promotion, "I'm not a musician", his whole "I'm a guru of creative thinking", makes it all so much worse
