Here Come The Warm Jets Album Ad: Feb 1974

Brian Eno steps out of Roxy Music’s shadow with a glam‑art explosion of sound

— SUMMARY

Released on February 9, 1974, Here Come the Warm Jets marked Brian Eno’s first solo venture after departing Roxy Music. Issued on Island Records, the album fused glam‑rock flamboyance with avant‑garde experimentation, pop sensibility, and Eno’s trademark studio mischief.

Recorded and produced by Eno himself, the album brought together an eclectic cast of musicians — including former Roxy Music colleagues and players from Hawkwind, Matching Mole, Pink Fairies, Sharks, Sweetfeed, and King Crimson. Eno famously used unconventional studio directions and oblique strategies to provoke unexpected performances, shaping the record into a surreal, fractured, and forward‑leaning sonic world.

Upon release, the album reached No. 26 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 151 on the US Billboard chart. Critical reception was largely positive, and its reputation has only grown over the decades. It was reissued on CD in 1990 and remastered in 2004, continuing to be celebrated as one of Eno’s most influential works — a cornerstone of art‑rock and proto‑ambient innovation.

This advert appeared in NME on February 9, 1974, marking the album’s arrival.
