[music, songs] August 4, 2004 at 10:25:00 PM CEST The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch The second track on Eno's 1st album is another three minute affair. Though not suited as a single this time. I guess it is allowed to call this piece an oddity. In the first minute Eno turns into his stilted opera singer like sprechgesang. Not my cup of tea at all. Unbearable and a real turn-off. But then in the second minute Eno suddenly decides to stop pronouncing his absurdities and we can hear something like a dialogue between electronic rubber ducks. This is a release after Eno's gravely intoned weird lyrics. I could listen to the duck discussion for hours. After 40 seconds or so it is over though and there is a strong rhythmic sound arriving which reminds me of a jew's harp as it seems to come from inside the mouth. This gets louder and louder and a percussion orchestra joins in turning the last minute into an African drumming jam session with some slight echoes of sitar. Very nice and totally unexpected after the totally false start of this ditty. It all finishes with some kind of sine tone which then melds into the next track without transition.

The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch Jim DeRogatis in "Kaleidoscope Eyes" describes all of the solo bits on "Here Come.." as "deliberate non-events", which I find to be an apt description--though I love the solo bits--what you're calling the "duck discussion"--which is Eno's synth basically going haywire. Eno was reported as not ever fixing his synths when there was a problem--just letting the problem work itself into his tunes. My favourite part is the strong rhythmic sound you describe--which I think is either Phil Manzanera or whomever was on bass (can't recall a.t.m.)--I love that Middle Eastern/Indian sounding riff and the false harmonics (which is definitely Manzanera) going on together. ... link

busta cherry jones was on bass on this one. manzanera was on guitar though. like the first roxy album most songs on warm jets do not really hold together as such. in one song there are several movements. they are all like mini-operas. really amazing. eno has more ideas in one track as most bands in one album. or maybe even their whole career. ... link ... comment |
