Continuing our spotlight on Brian Eno this week, for today’s Tuesday’s Gone, we’re looking at his remarkable footage live in studio recording “Needles in the Camel’s Eye” from 1973. As the opening number from his mind-bending debut solo album Here Come the Warm Jets, it helps set the tone for the markedly bizarre musical journey. Its deceptively warm and lush sonic textures also feature a certain otherworldly quality that characterizes the album as a whole. That’s largely thanks to the killer guitar tone they capture in the studio here, which is a testament to Eno’s budding skills as a producer at the time.

This album stands to this day as one of the most excellent art-rock records of all time. Dig it:
