official i love music thread for AEROPLANE

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.

"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

:(

Is this the real thing? Maybe someone made a fake like they did a few years ago with the Daft Punk album. (Sadly, I know it's not true.)

what's with the waling guitar over stuff?

i had hoped "Without Lies" would be the nadir but another vocal track has just come on that is possibly even worse. i feel quite embarrassed to be listening to it. maybe it's supposed to be stupid but i'm not sure if that can excuse it.

Most of this sounds like demos the Scissor Sisters would've thrown in the dumpster behind the studio. Maybe the Aeroplane guys were waiting back there and grabbed them.

ok this is a car crash.

more like a plane crash

!

what i'm listening to right now sounds like an elaborate prank.

sorry, i really don't want to ruin it for anyone else but i actually just lol'd at some abomination called "Fish in the Sky".

that title alone cannot prepare you.

ysi?

hype hype

why have they done this. :(

If this is the real version, omens weren't exactly good with the declining quality of mixes and 'We Can't Fly' the song.

last.fm indicates there is more than one Aeroplane. Maybe this is one of the others masqerading as the Aeroplane we know?

For real, this album is not just a disappointment, but a legitimate contender for WORST OF THE YEAR.

WTF

yeah. Can't think of a worse song this year than 'I Don't Feel', and 'Without Lies' is narrowly behind.

guys i need to hear this

i've never been so scared to add something to my library.
