Eno & The Winkies - Peel Session 1974

[@seanotron4559]

In 1991 as a 21yo roadie for the band Helios Creed, "Here come the warm jets" by the Great Brian Eno was the only 'cassette tape'(!) we 5 listened to in the van. Unlike the music at all the venues, it NEVER got old. Even as the years sneak up on me now I'm still listening. Eno's hands down the best! Definitely my "deserted island"🏝️ #1 choice. (what's yours?)

[@philipcournoyer7024]

Suicide their first then their 2nd then throbbing gristle

[@michaelogd]

Helios Creed was amazing!!

[@StevenMW]

💯 agree...my favorite since I bought it in 80s. It never gets "old". Watched the Eno doc on Night Flight recently...after hearing this, am imagining what the Winkies thought when they heard what their performances of these songs turned into in his studio. I like all versions! Btw I lived in SF late 80s-mid 90s...saw Helios alot! 🤟

[@jacksonfritts2988]

Wow Helios Creed! I still think his work on Chrome’s Red exposure is sensational songwriting. He has the touch.

[@peterfreeman6677]

1974, only one Peel session, but what a brilliant session it is. Totally wonderful. If only he could have slipped in Dead Finks Don't Talk ... or On Some Faraway Beach ...

Eno to mega zdolny muzyk, wielki szacun za jego dokonania. To najważniejszy muzyk w Roxi Music i w innych składach.

[@barrycoad2080]

I was an Eno fan in Whyalla in the early 70s ( an outback Australian steel and mining town ) they still have not caught up with the small but devoted bunch who loved this work ! Thanks to my dear friend Brian Eno.. and the mob - you helped us survive

[@stevejackson8094]

I was a fan also at the same time, living in Sydney. Most of my mates didn't get "Eno" but I was wrapped and still am. Now living in the little town of Portland and still loving his music, much to the annoyance of the misses. I have not heard this particular version, so this was a great find for me.

[@russelldriver1954]

Big wave from a fellow fan in Adeliade, formarly UK- floowed all of Eno's releases as they came out in the 70's. Glorious times!

[@ffvffv5709]

Quite possibly the most historically signifigant of all Peel Sessions. It's like a vague glimpse into an alternate universe where Eno envisioned himself as a Pop peer to Bowie, and not strictly a collaborator.

[@taddallman-morton6796]

In what world is Eno only a collaborator? He has dozens of solo albums and invented Ambient music in addition to found a publishing company to promote other artists plus being a visual artist! If that’s just collaborating I wish I were a collaborator!

[@edwardmulholland7912]

Beatles wrote pop songs and followed other innovators.

[@rayryeridge3313]

@@DaveAnchovies Do you live in Bizarro world?The Beatles did innovative things within the pop genre before anyone new it was even an option.Ticket to ride had many unusual twist to it never attempted before,and Tomorrow never knows was something unheard of in 66.The Beatles pushed the pop formula further from each and and every new album.They could have played it safe,but they were too curious for that.To understand what The Beatles did you must compare them to what else was going on in the mid sixtees. Can you name any pop bands in the sixtees who dared to things like A Day in the life,I am the walrus? and Revolution nr 9? Zappa was not a pop musican and neither were Pink Floyd at this time,and Beatles did experimental tracks a couple of years before Floyd anyway.

[@rayryeridge3313]

@@DaveAnchovies What an absurd thing to say.Beatles innovated within the pop formula from day one until the end,pushed the boundaries anew from album to album,allways developing new approaches,No other pop band in the sixtees would have dared to include in their albums stuff like Tomnorrow never knows,A day in the life,Revolution nr 9 or I am the walrus.even pop songs like Ticket to ride was highly original when it was released.Beatles came first,a few pop acts dared to follow.

Post-punk before punk

[@Brewzerr]

So, 'pre-punk' then.

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

Yeh, good psychedelic rock n roll!

[@antilusion6960]

Easy fellas, love Eno, but punk exist much before than Sabbath.

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

@@antilusion6960 \true, punk has ALWAYS existed as it is a human response to human conditions. 1960s we see The Novas, The Monks, Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Hasil Adkins and more. (forget most garage-punk since mostly like american ''punk'' they were just failed middle class rock acts trying it on.) And in the 50s with the obvious being Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Nervous Norvous and more. And even way way before that there have always been people who understand that letting off steam in mad eccentric ways on a saturday night is a valid outlet. This was even conveyed in the romance movie ''tatanic'' where the posh folk upstairs, and the musicians had to walk a tight narrow strip of pretence rather than be themselves. Whereas De caprio's character takes Winslet's character down to the staff party in steerage where she experiences her first YAHOOOO-ey and lets off a load of steam. In Dundee Scotland in days gone past, in theatre, we saw the ''Great McGonagall'' a theatre actor and poet who deliberately did everything from stage acting to poertry the complete opposite way of what teacher teach, and the commoners LOVED him for taking so much piss out of a stiff irrelevant organization such a theatre. Much to the chagrin of the established order who had no chocie but to include him in their plays rto they'd get no bottomns on seats! His shakespearian death scenes were the stuff of directors nightmares taking up to 20 or 40 minutes to die! It's an attitude, beyond music and style, and one which is needed to keep the high bnrows in check. And definately has nothing to do with whining middle class rich kid american pop bands who just seem to be Ameican idiots.

[@narasimha7187]

That's because Eno was a tremendous influence on post punk.

[@ladycharlesmusic]

What a great set - punkier and more deadpan. Would love a clear recording of one of the few shows before his injury, Dead Finks sounds like it was amazing on the really lofi boot!

[@laynehorwitz3082]

ENO is the ONE ! They just don't make 'em like this anymore ! Damn all the ambient doodlings he did later on, his earlier "glam pop" albums and the few he did with Roxy/Manzanera/801 were the best !!! And let us not forget that he produced the first Devo album Are WE Not Men ? Brilliant man, the Einstein of rock !

[@GandharKulkarni2000]

Layne Horwitz but his influence on music is primarily due to his ambient stuff. you shouldn't pass it off as noodling. i suggest you check it out again. don't just pass it off as noodling.

[@compostjohn]

It was the 'noodling' of No Pussyfooting which got me hooked.... and then I turned on to his more raunchy bouncy surreal stuff like this. Eno has been the biggest musical influence in y life, I love him so much.

[@chrisbinckes2732]

bryan ferry certainly was outshone by eno...

[@theshamelesspitchmenforjes2173]

Like any truly great artist Eno got tired of the formula of rock and turned to abstraction. There is just so many versions of Rock songs one can do and still be a thinking artist.

[@written12]

I agree with the commentators below that the ambient Eno isn’t just noodling. However, I’m sympathetic to how you feel. There’s such an energy and inventiveness here.

[@RoseaNebulaLaeta]

I had read Brian Eno was a huge inspiration to XTC but I never saw the connection - until now! The speed and certain guitar bits and the live vocals are so much like Drums & Wires!

[@dillongstaff5625]

One of my all time albums is Here comes the warm jets.

[@deamos318]

This is phenomenal, I had only ever heard the album version of most of these that were slower and more subdued. A reminder that Eno Rocks

[@brötzmannsax]

"Here Comes the Warm Jets" is one of those most over looked albums in rock history unfortunately, but fortunately I bought it upon it's release.

[@DaveAnchovies]

i wouldnt say its overlooked...people still pay $40 for original copies and its been reissued...any of the first 3 still are big sellers, the ambient records are sometimes worth even more. these takes are overlooked and way more on the punk or art punk side with the arrangemnts and speed. A LOT of punk bands cover him, are named after his albums or,,like Devo, if they could afford him, produced by him. He did wonders with the first Devo lp. The early Roxy albums are probably more over looked.

I was fortunate to hear it fairly early (kudos to Jeff Barbanell, Carol Wiebe and Drew Miller, and thanks for a great spring break visit in Phoenix in 1980!) Needlessly I wish more similar recordings existed (the rest of the set!?). I should mention my favorite passage here is the intro to Fat Lady, with the ambient bar noise--spectacular.

My goodness, I remember this well - had it on reel to reel tape at one time, recorded from the Peel show. The Winkies went on with the tour after Eno retired from it through ill health, and I saw them at Maidstone College of Art. They were good, but it was of course a little disappointing not to have the man himself there. Thanks for evoking some great 70s memories.

[@markbrooks4471]

Says a lot that BE saw the potential in these glam pub rockers, what a remarkable collaboration. Bassist Brian Turrington went on to co-write the furious one chord pre-punk stomper 'Third Uncle' on Taking Tiger Mountain. The Winkies only album, their 1975 self titled affair is also worth checking out, as is the work of their Canadian singer, Phil Rambow.

[@paulpower8750]

+magicalxan Life long Eno fan and only came across his work with the Winkies only 2 years ago and I think they took a classic and ran with it turned it around and still managed to keep it bluesy and also gave it some balls.

[@LULUBELLEIII]

+magicalxan According to Wikipedia: "The Winkies were formed by Canadian-born Philip Rambow with former Holy Rollers guitarist Guy Humphreys, and the rhythm section of Brian Turrington (bass) and Mike Desmarais (drums). Their music and stage presence were a combination of the sound pub rock and visuals of glam rock clothing." Philip Rambow would probably be the best known of all of them (to me, at any rate...)
