Here Come The Warm Jets





This song was originally devised by eventual Liberal Democrat adviser on youth issues Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, peculiar in that at the time of his appointment, 'Eno' was almost 60 years of age (2007).
***********************************
But for those who have closely followed this principal innovator of ambient music, this political involvement came as no surprise. Brian Eno was an undercover pilot for a long number of years, serving in locations as diverse as Iraq and the Falkland Islands. In fact, the album 'Here Come The Warm Jets' was a collaboration with Argentinean dissident Eduardo Sanguinetti.
**************************
See this: "The title Warm Jets came from the guitar sound on the track of that name, which I described on the track sheet as 'warm jet guitar', because it sounded like a tuned jet. Then I had the pack of playing cards with the picture of the woman in there, and they sort of connected. That was one of the things that was going on at the time: this idea that music was still tied to some idea of revolution, and that one of the revolutions was a sexual revolution. I wasn't making a big political point, I just liked having fun with those things. Most people didn't realise for a long time -- it was rather deeply concealed!"
Brian Eno, interviewed by Andy Gill in Mojo, June 1998"
*******************************
Recently, Mr Eno has expressed dissatisfaction at the political direction pursued by Nick Clegg. Appearing as a lost soul, aged 63, don't be fooled by this apparent discontent. He's probably off on another mission soon....'rather deeply concealed!'
********************************
Van Credenza record this as a cover song, in a similar manner to Eno covering/concealing his true life purpose for all these years. 
*****************************
Nothing to say. Beware.
