official i love music thread for AEROPLANE

For the record, some of the best poppy disco I've heard in a long time was on an in-flight entertainment radio station.

i heard the original of that completely unexpectedly recently and was immediately, like, WHAT IS THAT I TOTALLY RECOGNISE IT. it was totally bugging me for a week - and i was shocked to discover that what i'd heard was a lykke li song, because i thought i hated lykke li, and had certainly not heard her song.

anyway i eventually realised it was sampled in this, which makes it sound a lot more opulent and grandiose than the original

I don't like the original Lykke Li song very much but it's not actually aiming for opulent. Grandiose, maybe.

Why does that exist?

Slept on this last year, but this is a great remix imo. been playing it a lot lately:

Anyone know if this version of Lindstrom - Baby Can't Stop was ever released? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdqsVhv1Yro

It's not the Aeroplane version.

Sounds like the original sped up and getting mixed out.

agree, that doesn't sound like a separate version

Still awesome:

Nice!

Ten years since the album came out later this year.

Probably a similar amount of time since I last listened to it

Random Access Memories chat has sent me back to this album. They were only a couple of years apart but Aeroplane album feels so much longer ago. Quite a lot of similarities between the two albums though

Mountains of Moscow wouldn't feel out of place on RAM

Most of it is just plain bad though - still struggle to reconcile those early EPs and remixes to what ended up on the album. You could just about get a half decent EP out of it at best.

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

Also the answer to the "which is their best remix" dilemma upthread is Coyote - Too Hard, obvs!

This thread makes me nostalgic for the late 00s.

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”.

This thread revival has led me to putting on "Whispers" for the first time in years and all I can say is...thank you.

I love that remix of Kimbra's 'Two Way Street' even tho it's post-peak and practically rote as anything

"whispers" and the "paris" remix are still the best music ever

"Paris" remix is one of a few songs that seems to unite everyone I know in dancing bliss when it gets played

This thread makes me nostalgic for the late 00s.

This, Italians Do It Better and the frankenhouse thread all in my bookmarks, everything's coming up 2008!

lol no I haven't checked my bookmarks in four weeks

i know this is the longest of long shots but does anyone have an mp3 of their mgmt - "electric feel" remix? i can't find it anywhere online and all the google results go to blogspots w/ dead download links

wait i found it still streaming here but no download... re-reading the thread this was a bit of a controversial opinion but this remix still sounds so good to me...
