Got a bad feeling this album is going to be delayed and delayed and come out 12 months after their moment has passed.

lindstrom remix is totally next level

You mean the Aeroplane remix of Lindstrom?
How amazing it is when the organ vamps come in!!
(ironically perhaps their most 'organic' effort?)
― Tim F, Thursday, 21 May 2009 10:42 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah the aeroplane remix - if i was dancing to this the organs would make me want to do so many diff things- it's like they are trying to make you break your body
― oj da hoosman (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 21 May 2009 10:51 (fifteen years ago) link
I think i've said it before but the interrelationship of all the different instruments reminds me a lot of Fela Kuti. But yeah, there's a sense of "You thought you knew what you were dancing to, now suffer the consequences of our unexpected second attack!"
― Tim F, Thursday, 21 May 2009 10:53 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah which is weird for them because their songs/remixes always have such a deliberate intent wrt to build - it's pretty jarring and that's def a part of why it's great (besides just sounding awesome)
― oj da hoosman (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 21 May 2009 10:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Jordan have you heard the Allez Allez remix? That's the one when they really go for broke with the build, to the point of throwing on these ridiculous piano chords at the end. It's pretty much the exact same trick as on the MGMT mix only better cos it's faster.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Thursday, 21 May 2009 11:10 (fifteen years ago) link
i have it but haven't listened to it yet - i think i fell immediately for the mgmt remix cuz i know the original inside and out - excited about the allez allez one tho
― oj da hoosman (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 21 May 2009 11:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Listened to their remix of Sebastien Tellier for the first time and the OMG HOLY SHIT moment came when just before the 4th minute that whirling synth (?) hits.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 22 May 2009 06:20 (fifteen years ago) link
I wonder if that synth line exists in the original song?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 22 May 2009 06:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Discovered Tensnake's "Tavira" from the Flying Mix and wow..
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 22 May 2009 07:01 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah "Tavira" is gorgeous. Love the percussion.
― Tim F, Friday, 22 May 2009 07:15 (fifteen years ago) link
That whirling synth isn't in the the original song but it's originally from Supernature. It's one of those remix/production tricks that seemingly always works though - Lindstrom wheeled it out on his last album for the "I am going to be extra extra ostentatious right about... now" moment. It's pretty much the ultimate icing-on-cake disco flourish.

I posted this in the DJ mixes thread, but for folks who haven't seen it and may be interested here's a link to a mix I did that was heavily influenced by Aeroplane and features a few of their remixes/tracks.

aaah yes, supernature. no wonder it sounded kinda familiar.

"La Serenissima :: EINE KLEINE NACHTMUSIK"
I haven't heard yr mix yet groovepanda but that's an awesome tune to finish with.
― Tim F, Friday, 22 May 2009 11:08 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah that tracklist looks A+++. I really want to hear that Todd Terje edit of Curtis Mayfield as well.

also this: 10 Ain’t Nobody (Frankie Knuckles Hallucinogenic Dub) :: RUFUS & CHAKA KHAN

yeah i'm getting that now groovypanda, looks great. thanks.
xp yes that is amazing.

groovypanda, this is really great. thanks!
the only transition i'm not crazy about is the one out of "williams blood" but it's working for me at home anyway. much appreciated. good work.

jammed to it at work tonight, groovypanda. really fantastic!

Might as well register since I see two things not yet in this thread:
1. They're apparently recording the album with soulwax and au revoir simone: http://vimeo.com/4532012 -- I don't like that snippet, unfortunately. And why are Aeroplane collaborating with Soulwax when Aeroplane are 100000x as good?
2. Also, they made a beautiful 5 minute mash-up for some radio show: the Annie Mac Mini Mix: search and you'll find a mediafire link pretty easily. Tracklist:
Michael Jackson : “Another Part Of Me”Laura Branigan : “Self Control”Baltimora : “Tarzan Boy”Mr Oizo : “Positif”Mike Snow : “Animal”Marguaritas : “Marguaritas”Ricchi & Poveri : “Sara Perche Ti Amo”La Bionda : “I Got Your NumberThe Juan McLean : “One Day”Gino Soccio : “Remember”Boney M : “Kalimba De Luna”The Krays : “We Are Ready When You Are”The Beach Boys : “Good Vibrations Outtakes”Macho : “Not Tonight”Mike Mareen : “Dancing In The Dark”Empire Of The Sun : “We Are The People”Friendly Fires Feat. Au Revoir Simone : “Paris”Kidz : “Miss Mars”The Golden Filter : “Solid Gold”D Pulse : “More” - Foto MixDroid : “Mito”
I particularly love the bit from dancing in the dark that they use together with the vocals from empire of the sun. That should be a song, damnit!
― bad geometry, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 04:14 (fifteen years ago) link
that's a track from au revoir simone's new album. so seems like a remix.
― cutty, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link
(the vocal track, that is)
Is the Au Revoir Simone album any good? I didn't know it existed.
― Tits Bramble (Matt DC), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 13:43 (fifteen years ago) link
yes, maybe their best yet

^^^^ This!!! the slo-mo breakdown is so fucking great
WRT to the discussion upthread about the electric sheen of this shit, i think this may have already been said but it's ultimately just pop dance. i mean in interviews that's how they've described it. their first release seemed to want to operate within the nubalearica whatever vein, but esp since they've been remixing all these pop people it seems to make sense. it's just the catchiest shit you've ever heard
― space cowboy (san frandisco), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 16:57 (fifteen years ago) link
i guess tho the cheesiness of some of the remixes is balearic at heart
also the mention of todd terje here, kinda makes me want to start a taking sides for remixes todd terje vs. aeroplane? but i feel like my brain would explode
― space cowboy (san frandisco), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 16:58 (fifteen years ago) link
i think this may have already been said but it's ultimately just pop danceyeah i was sort of thrown for a loop with their mixmag mix because of just how relatively poppy it was; nothing matches the crisp perfection of that first 12" for me, those tracks are like solid perfectly engineered geometry

oh okay, didn't know that. the title of the video is "recording with aeroplane" though so I'd still guess that au revoir simone are going to be on the album, but that's only a guess.
on the digital pop sheen - the only time I've noticed or that it's bothered me is with the "Now 'Til 69" remix, which is their worst by far imo. liked it the first few times, despise it now. otherwise i don't really get that criticism.
― bad geometry, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 02:38 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, the "Now 'Til 69" remix is their most disposable work yet. btw, what do you call the use of "supernature" synth in the remix for tellier? sampling, tribute, borrowing or errr stealing?

I know I'm way behind the curve on this one, but people kept playing that bloody Sebastian Tellier mix they did and every time it came on, my ears would prick up and go OOOOOOOHHHHH WHAT IS THAT MAKING THAT SOUND...
That synth sound at the beginning of the track - where it's all swhirly and phased out, and it kind of ... bubbles ... the echoes/delay on it makes a noise like waves breaking on pebbles and it is the most amazing sound I've ever heard.
I was kind of gutted when I heard the original song - it's nothing like.
Also, that rejected Grace Jones track is ... sublime. That's the only word for it. Shivers down my back every time I hear it. How can seven minutes feel like a heartbeat? It's just so swooshy and lush.
Now I am going to read the rest of the thread and see what else I've been missing.
This summer feels weird. I was trying to work out if my tastes had changed so much - or if fashion has just turned around, and suddenly all the things I'm attracted to in sound (phase, psychedelia, texture, layering, fuzziness) are suddenly back "in" like someone waved a magic wand and turned everything swhirly.

Is that the one that starts (freakily enough) with They Came From The Stars (I Saw Them)?
I was listening to that yesterday, and apart from that, it made me very happy indeed.
