official i love music thread for AEROPLANE

http://www.clubclique.co.uk/gallery/current/10.html

such a great photo!! : )

clique looks fun! will have to try to go there sometime when i go to manc.

btw, who is who in that photo?

Vito on the right I think.

How, if at all, is this affecting their lined-up dates etc?

Already knowing that I'd never pay money to see Erol Alkan, how are AEROPLANE's sets?

p. sick both times I've seen them

Better not affect Saturday night. Xposts

on their right, not the photo's right (xpost)

If we did it after it would have meant waiting for two years so, it’s a bit brutal

what does this mean? like two years of touring after the album?

Mm i think that's the idea. The only precedent i can think of for this in my lifetime is Thieves/ Mcalmont's album. Album was already in the can, rave reviews for their early singles, massive press hype.. then the 2of them split and the album became a solo project.

this news makes me sad :(

I don't think it's "fucking hate each other" so much as "one dude likes to stay home and muck about with his synths while the other likes to jet around the world playin' records and sippin' cocktails with Erol and Alex Ridha" which are not really compatible lifestyles for two dudes trying to promote a record.

I'm not sure that's the case here - Vito's the one with the production background and Stephen w/ the DJ background, but Stephen's the one leaving. And Vito seems to be the one who enjoys playing out and touring more, based on seeing and talking to them in March.

i'm guessing nerd with the glasses is the bedroom producer type and dude with the trendy beard is the jetsetter?

nah, I think Vito is the guy with the great goofy grin in the Clique gallery:

other dude looks like a young Chris Rea

and so which is retaining the name?

Stephen is leaving Aeroplane.

gutted - I can't go to see them on the 26th in Brixton due to other engagements. Probably be the last time I get a chance.

You do all know this isn't the end of Aeroplane, right?

I don't know if this interview was posted anywhere upthread. I looked and didn't find it.

xpost - thanks; enjoyed reading that interview

this bit = !! wow!

VD: We shouldn’t say this, but we actually sent it to a blog: “You can have this.” I think 25 minutes and that fucking remix was everywhere. And the label really liked it, even when she turned it down. We were like, “Can you listen to that remix properly, like in a studio with a big sound system?” So they played it to her fully, and she said OK. And she actually called me in the middle of the night. I didn’t get the phone, like, “Who the hell is that? I’m not answering it.” And in the morning I hear the voice mail: “This is Grace Jones ….” I was like, “What?” I fucked up.

Also, to the comments they make about their attitude to blogs/etc makes me feel more at ease with throwing this up again for the weekend.

Aeroplane - We Can't Fly (Extended Drums Mix) (American Booze's further extension)

pm me for dl

from their/ his official FB group:

As promised to thank the 10.000+ Aeroplane Facebook Fans for their loyalty and support , here is a little something. It's called " I Crave Paris " and you probably heard it on the 500th Essential Mix ! So, to all the people who have been asking for this , here you go ! Hope you will enjoy it !

"We Can't Fly" is on Spotify.
I am underwhelmed!

The track or the LP?

i was also underwhelmed. it sounds like a cheap imitation of aeroplane. that synth sound that comes in a third of the way through is sort of horrible.

i'm...not sure their forte was ever producing their own material? "whispers" apart, and it was kathy diamond who made that...

Nonsense - Caramellas and Pacific Air Race were both brilliant, and the best bits of most of their remixes were their own, as well.

xpost: Two versions of the track. In its favour, it's all a bit Summer 1981/Compass Point/Alex Sadkin/Sly&Robbie, which always plays well with me - with a touch of 1982 Swain/Jolley/Imagination squelchy bass for good measure - but it lacks that subtly intense and blissful OOMPH that they normally do so well.

I'm sort of thinking of it as a prolonged intro to the album really, it's nice and breezy and does its job pretty well.

Not to mention "Aeroplane"!!

Ooh.

naming your lead single/album the same thing is a good way to thwart people searching for a leak to the latter

yeah... really can't find this anywhere.

they were playing toronto thursday night, two hours after i got into town and i was so exhausted from the trip that i forgot until two hours after their set was done.

:(

^^^ only canadian stop on the tour.

I personally made a split second decision to not go to that.

Here's hoping their set was a dud that night!

grace looks like she's had some work done... ick

you sure about this?

It hasn't leaked but there are promo copies doing the rounds.

I've heard the phrase "Rocky Horror Show" applied to the album, so am in the process of revising my expectations downwards.

that's how i figure someone would describe the mungolian jetset album, but as much as i dig that album.......

Album has finally leaked...thoughts later today

sounds really quite terrible so far.

yep

:(
