"ROSSI J.A." <rossi@nusc.ARPA> (08/11/86)
Organization: The actual lyrics to 'Here Come the Warm Jets' may never be revealed. I remember reading an interview with Eno just after the LP (of the same name) was released in which he said that he purposefully hid the actual lyrical content in the mix so as to avoid mis-interpretation of them. In a later interview in some Jazz magazine, he said something to the effect of HCtWJ being an example of ambient lyrical content. Since he wasn't up to the full steam of ambient experience wey (pre Discrete Music), what he said contained some mumbo-jumbo about subliminal preception experimentation and user dependent preception of thge lyrics. So, I guess If you think he's singing about pissing, I guess you might be right, however, he could equally possibly be singing about heated airline cabins, south pacific winds, attack airplanes, etc. 'Burning airlines give you so much more' (Than warm jets?)
