The horror! The horror!

If I were Tim Berners-Lee in 1980, and I knew that my baby, would someday be used for auto-generated, cut-and-paste, madlib-style record reviews, I might have changed my mind. I’m not lying: I literally recoiled from the schlock:

Here Come The Warm Jets is a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard. …

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Needles In The Camel’s Eye. It’s a great track! …

Brian Eno originally released Here Come The Warm Jets on June 1, 2004 on the Astralwerks label.

Imagine one of your favorite albums being reviewed by the kind of person who sets up spam domains for Adsense clicks. Now imagine it being reviewed by a PHP script that guy wrote.

(Of course, for those playing along at home, Brian Eno’s Here Come the Warm Jets was originally released in 1973 on Island, and marked the high water point (well, along with Before and After Science) of Eno’s post-Roxy Music, pre-ambient career. Highly recommended.
