BRIAN ENO - 3 rare JAPAN OBI REPLICA CD SET - DSD MASTERING - THIS IS A SPECIAL LISTING IS FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR RARE JAPAN ORIGINAL LABEL RELEASES ON THIS RARE SPECIAL ONE TIME OFFER, WHAT IS A JAPAN "MINI/REPLICA-LP-SLEEVE" CD? Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there's the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2/K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks uvailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "obi" ("oh-bee"), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album's release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi's are collectable, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we've mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100's of dollars apiece ANOTHER GREEN WORLD - sells for close to $100 alone still new and sealed in the collectors market..

It was here that Eno first began to experiment with abstract soundscapes, to employ a greater spatial element and the ethereal synthesizer effects that presaged an entire movement of ambient music. While most of the tracks are instrumental, the numbers that feature Eno's peculiar, affectless voice and free-associative lyrics seem to blend into the fabric of the album. Superior guest musicians include John Cale, Robert Fripp and Phil Collins. From the brain-bending riff of "Sky-Saw, through the elemental creeping of "Sombre Reptiles;" from Robert Fripp's looping solos in "St. Elmo's Fire" to the dark swirl of "Spirits Drifting," ANOTHER GREEN WORLD creates a superb series of sonic atmospheres that are rhythmic, expansive, strange and beautiful. Editorial reviews Ranked #36 in NME's list of The Greatest Albums Of The '70s. NME 5 stars out of 5 - ANOTHER GREEN WORLD actually sounds like it's been beamed in from another musical universe.

CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve. Eno's last glam-pop album before devoting himself entirely to ambient experimentation, BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE showcases two sides of Eno's musical personality. The first half of the disc is characterized by floppy, pop-tinged romps reminiscent of his earlier albums (and heralding later Eno-piloted projects such as the Talking Heads' SPEAKING IN TONGUES). Tunes like "Backwater" and "King's Lead Hat" (a song whose lyrics are reputedly about the Talking Heads, the title an anagram of the band's name) feature bouncy beats and keyboards, silly, riddle-like lyrics and Eno's Muppet-ish vocals. The second half is considerably more subdued: the tender, airy feeling of tracks like "Julie With" and "Spider and I" indicate Eno's softer, abstract, synthesizer-dominated direction. Taken together, the fine tracks of this disc frame two sides of Eno: the pop songster and the ambient composer. Japanese limited edition in an LP-style slipcase. The music is not 'remastered' but instead has been re-transferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue masters, as they are not technically re-EQ'd but transferred to the digital domain using the best technology currently available. Editorial reviews 4 stars out of 5 - 'No One Receiving' and 'Here He Comes' are simply great pop tunes. jo AND HERE COMES THE WARM JETS - Detailed item info Track listing 1.

Here Come the Warm Jets Details Contributing artists: Robert Fripp, John Wetton, Phil Manzanera, Andy MacKay Distributor: MSI Music Distribution Recording type: Studio Recording mode: Stereo SPAR Code: n/a Album notes Japanese limited edition in an LP-style slipcase, retransferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue masters using the best technology available. CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve. By the time Brian Eno left Roxy Music and came to record this masterpiece of a debut in 1973, he already held in his grasp the raw tools to revolutionize popular music. HERE COME THE WARM JETS is bathed in his singular pop-with-a-wink aesthetic and free-associative imagination. Whether on the four-on-the-floor pre-punk stomp of "Needles In The Camel's Eye" or the Spector/VU trad-rock-ism of "Cindy Tells Me," the album displays an unabashed love of quirky, catchy pop. Macabre lyrics often subvert the melodies, a feature fully expressed on "Baby's On Fire," where the singer's cheeky vocals exaggerate the theme's comic ambiguity. On two quite different pieces--the closing title-track and "On Some Faraway Beach"--a different side of Eno was laid bare. These mid-tempo, mostly wordless sound-paintings construct melancholy scenes out of grandiose, manipulated sounds, and gesture toward Eno's role as the father of ambient music. Savage guitar lines, erratic synthesizer, and pounding drums (Robert Fripp, Paul Thompson, and Phil Manzanera are among the excellent personnel) provide exciting textures on a collection as beguiling as it is invigorating. With WARM JETS Eno proved he was ready to jump off the edge of the pop universe, and to drag everyone else with him. Japanese limited edition in an LP-style slipcase. The music is not 'remastered' but instead has been re-transferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue masters, as they are not technically re-EQ'd but transferred to the digital domain using the best technology currently available. Editorial reviews 4 stars out of 5 - Eno's debut really does sound like the future. Mojo WARM JETS orbits in the same glam-rock galaxy as Bowie's ZIGGY STARDUST... Magnet 5 stars out of 5 - [T]he first fractured flush of Eno's freedom from a Roxy he feared fatally compromised... Uncut 5 stars out of 5 - Eno, guitarist Robert Fripp and moonlighting members of Roxy Music reconstitute rock and pop into some bizarre third thing.
