I listened to "Burning Airlines Give You So Much More" this morning and it was indeed great

i listened to "the true wheel" as i walked out of the house to go to work on this sunny fall day and it felt like my personal theme song

Thanks a lot, now I have to play this. Not that it isn't awesome.

Robert Wyatt's entrance in "Put a Straw Under Baby" gets me every time. It's made me laugh out loud on the tube before now; can't believe no-one voted for this track.

Always loved ANG + Here Come The Warm Jets more, but hey time for another listen.

I've not heard HCTWJ in one connected sitting, maybe, but I've heard it all and consider it a blast

Another Green World poll would be more difficult to pick from to me. The top 3 results in this thread is my exact same ranking.

well that and here comes the warm jets... i'd probably end up voting for needle but title track and baby's on fire are awesome too.

Just sat through the whole damn thing and yes it is very good! Just haven't heard it for years.

there is actual magic in this music. something on the mastertape that can't be explained by science

This was always my favourite Eno "song" record. It was also the first one I heard! He caught me with the electric piano entrance on "Burning Airlines" and killed me whistle solo in "Judy's Jungle"

This record is killer. Kinda sad that "Straw Under Baby" got no votes. Robert Wyatt + Brian Eno gimme more!
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 24 October 2013 00:10 (ten years ago) link
So so so so good. Am enjoying humming the Bat Out Of Hell solo under Mother Whale Eyeless' bridge though. The record's making me a bit sad, in the way that all cosmic art does

title-track is the saddest song. actually crying right now. fuck

it's just kinda ridiculous how at the end of an album with 9 tracks of unrelenting joy he just blasts you with the saddest fucking thing you've ever heard
― imago, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:16 (ten years ago) link
i'm a mess
this might be one of the greatest albums ever made
I've always found it quite uplifting...

I find the effect more, well, affecting on the second side of "Before and After Science." "Spider & I" ...

ending the album with that track is incredible. a stroke of incredibility.
mother whale eyeless is the underrated gem on this album though.

The title track is so great EXCEPT for when that guitar line does that annoying chromatic descending melody rather than the part where it blends magnificently into the piano melody.
