my fave remix is the shortwave set one because the first twenty seconds are kind of like huh, okay then it opens up and its kind of simple and certain and eazy and you can sing along, while you dance, if you want to. also its the best one to hear out.
i like all the ones ive heard tho and would really like to hear the lindstrom remix

Search - ALL OF IT.Destroy - Jacques Lu Cont. He is no longer necessary.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 11 December 2008 10:45 (fifteen years ago) link
What I love about them as original producers - the sense that on every single occasion they're consciously trying to make the most enjoyable record imaginable. And their ability to mix pop-disco and e-transcendence and that sense of wide-eyed wonder without ever really coming over as twee or cloying or annoying. Whispers is my favourite single of this year by several light years.
What I love about them as remixers - they do what JLC *used* to do, which is to really understand the point of a song and just rearrange it to make it MORE so. The Grace Jones one is a case in point. The only side alley is the Friendly Fires one which takes the song in a different direction (mostly by replacing the vocal) but still somehow manages to keep the evocative feel of the original. The Cut Copy one is possibly the only one that doesn't quite work as well possibly because the original is going for a very similar vibe.

― s1ocki, Thursday, 11 December 2008 16:53 (fifteen years ago) link
i think these guys are great, but i find it very difficult to articulate why. it's too easy to lob "80s" in their direction or like, happy-sad disco-pop. "aeroplane"/"caramellas" is a must if you have not heard it. their second single is "pacific air race", which is not as good, but still worth checking. and "whispers" (the third single) is great, but i like the h&la rmx the best. out of the remixes i think i would list my favorites as: cobra dukes, grace jones, shortwave set, low motion disco, lullabies in the dark, allez allez. i would love to hear an aeroplane rmx of h&la or of "west end girls" where they just looped the intro synths for 10 minutes.
xp, i can't believe i forgot about coyote. um, that's somewhere near the top of my list.

They are playing at Matter on Saturday, and I can't make it. Gah. I *really* want to see them live.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 11 December 2008 17:06 (fifteen years ago) link
producers of the year by a country mile, although dj international mag picking 'caramellas' as tune-of-the-year was a bit o_O. unlike tricky my favourite of their own tracks is 'pacific air race'. the key change has me welling up. favourite remixes are 1. low motion disco, 2. coyote and 3. grace jones. can't get into 'whispers' as much as everyone seems to have, just ain't feeling the vocal. and i have tried. the friendly fires remix is good but the justus kohncke one kills all.

"They are playing at Matter on Saturday, and I can't make it. Gah. I *really* want to see them live."
They are great, although mostly in the "yes it's really cool to hear ten Aeroplane productions in a DJ mix with everyone cheering each time" sense. But they choose appropriate stuff to go with it - when I saw them they dropped Tensnake remixing Sally Shapiro, Mungolian Jet Set remixing They Came From The Stars, I Saw Them etc. It was like the last outpost of maximal melodic dance. A very large, all-enveloping sound.
Best bit (and I'm repeating myself from the balearic thread but whatevs) was when one of them started to mix in Robin S's "Show Me Love", didn't get much of a reaction of recognition from the crowd as the bassline dropped (myself excluded), and looked at the crowd with confusion, consternation and something close to disgust.
"And their ability to mix pop-disco and e-transcendence and that sense of wide-eyed wonder without ever really coming over as twee or cloying or annoying. "
I think this is an excellent description of what they do. In many ways they're closer to a Ewan Pearson than a JLC, except that the JLC comparison works because with both Aeroplane 2008 and JLC 2005 there's this sense of expecting to get over the largesse of his emotionalism by the time the next remix comes around, only to be helplessly overcome once again. It seems unbelievable that Producers/Remixers could walk that tightrope of wonder/tweeness so long and so successfully.

Lindstrom & Solale : ‘Baby I Can’t Stop’ - Aeroplane Mix (Feedelity promo)
― ohhhh we pop champagne (deej), Thursday, 11 December 2008 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm only just now listening to Pacific Air Race for the first time. It rules, far more tracky and dancefloor-orientated than a lot of their other material, reminds me a bit of that Lullabies In The Dark record with the number that I can't be bothered to Google.
It strikes me that they're going under the radar a bit despite having remixed everything that wasn't nailed down over the last year or so. If they can keep up this workrate next year there's a lot to look forward to. And an album as well, right?

It really is cobblers in places. I like the idea of revitalising and recontextualising unfashionable or lesser-lauded genres, but they didn't manage to improve on them or make them any more palatable. In fact a lot of the lyrics are even worse than the kind of euro-pop and rock it's referencing

Just stopping by to say that I'm on a trial of YouTube premium and I'm going through a whole load of tracks I don't have acess to physically or on streaming services. From this recent listening I have concluded that Aeroplane - Aeroplane may be my favourite piece of music ever. Every single note in it is perfect. Find me a better snippet in music than the breakdown at 3:53 and rebuild to 5:00! That's all, have a nice day everyone

Still remember hearing the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas Essential Mix in like mid 2007 and hearing “Aeroplane” for the first time and being like “oh fuck what is this”.
