official i love music thread for AEROPLANE

telegraph has gone to the top of the s.e.o. charts in the UK so they must be doing something right - i assume those keywords are compiled by a word-crunching bot of some kind, maybe using opencalais

would smash

assuming no fat or anything

oh look this thread is near "indie-electrodribble"

they're friends

i was listening to the "now til 69" remix last night and stirmonster's "horrible digital sheen" comment came to mind. it really was kind of nauseating! it was an mp3, but even on top of that it sounded weirdly compressed and despite listening to the song about 20 times or so in the past i had never noticed the production (probably because i was paying attention to everything else or nothing at all cuz it's so anthemic). the drums have this kind of rushy ableton feel to them.

Ha that sounds right actually. The Shortwave Set remix is either astonishing or vaguely repellent depending on one's mood.

bit of a strange moth in the photo but yes, would still smash.

im late to the party but just want to say im loving these guys, esp whispers which is basically a perfect song

"horrible digital sheen"...it really was kind of nauseating!

yeah but like b/c of the structure it feels earned to me, same as when jlc did it well--i feel prepped for it and am ready to open up to the blatant too-much-of-a-muchness & also am ok with flirting with nausea (kind of like an...opiate high? urgh dont mean to bring drugs into this)

it's like an opiate high - on acid!

an opiate high on acid wrapped in bacon

i don't mind a bit of gross synthetic-ness, but maybe not for an entire set. i burned out on that shortwave set mix pretty quickly, it sounded great on the RA podcast but it seems a bit redundant on its own. 'paris' and 'williams blood' still stand up though.

Feel the same way about the Shortwave Set mix actually! But they're worth seeing live (and are not syntheticky throughout - speaking of which they really need to get out that Lindstrom & Solale remix to prove they can work in materials other than plastic and polyester).

just noticed this at the bottom of the mailer for Fixed party @ Studio B (new york)

Friday May 8th: Fixed w/ Aeroplane & JG Wilkes (Optimo)

oh raaad

right after semester ends :D

lol college

prepare for an NYU-chick fest!

One hears that Aeroplane have done the covermount CD for April's Mixmag... it's not in the shops yet, though.

did god only knows get a release (or a clean MP3) yet? i think i have worn out my copy of the mp3 max ripped.

haven't seen anything on the various record store mailouts - no doubt it'll be a hyped record if it does get pressed up by someone.

shall look out for that mixmag disc; the various sets of theirs that i've heard have been pretty tight. they also avoid the trap of sounding too synthetic all the way through, as tim says - looks like i was having a go at them upthread but i'm more worried about those who'll play sets entirely composed of hi-gloss balearic revivalism, it'll be like dudes who jumped exclusively on the ed banger/kitsune jock, bleurgh.

Tracklist for the Mixmag disc:

01. Mylo - Macrobiotic
02. Alphaville - Big In Japan
03. Bungalow (Simone Fedi) - Afro Comedy
04. Appaloosa - The Day We Fell In Love
05. Lovelock - Burning Feeling
06. Friendly Fires - Paris (Aeroplane Remix)
07. Moon Unit - Connections (Ewan Pearson's Slo NRG Remix)
08. House Of House - Rushing To Paradise (Walkin These Streets)
09. The Shortwave Set - Now Till 69 (Aeroplane Remix)
10. The Belle Stars - Sign Of The Times
11. Sam Taylor and Pet Shop Boys - I'm In Love With A German Film Star (Jurgen Paape Remix)
12. Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (Aeroplane Italo 84 Mix)
13. Grum - Runaway
14. ZZZ - Lion (Bag Raider Remix)
15. Poni Hoax - Antibodies

sweet. i haven't bought mixmag in years though.

For those not in the UK you should be able to find it online fairly easily

I'm actually slightly disappointed with this mix as I think I already have two thirds of those tracks. This feels more like a mixtape than an actual mix as the transitions between tracks are usually quite sudden.

That Mylo track is quite nice though

so, just why do cows love dance music ?
its something i have always wondered about.
guess, i'll have to buy this to find out the answer.

xp. yeah definitely feels more like a showcase than a mix. still, all good tracks. loving all the lovelock stuff i've heard btw.

lol @ the cover

So this is worth buying just for the mix? I don't have any of those tunes apart from Paris, Seb Tellier and House of House.

Definitely worth buying - I mean, Mixmag is only £4 or something and it's nice to have some of these tunes in CD quality rather than MP3 (Although I've no idea what 'quality' these cover CDs are compared to say a commercial release. For all I know Aeroplane may have sent Mixmag an MP3 of the mix in the first place)

Sounds like full CD quality to me! And £4.20 very well spent - this is a superb, intensely pleasurable mix. LOVE LOVE LOVE the House Of House track...

havent picked up this mix yet but yeah that house of house track is amazing

"Rushing to Paradise" = single of the year imo

That Lindstrøm & Solale remix seems to have surfaced on many of the blogs out there

^^^finally! that's pretty much the only one i haven't been able to track down

:( :(

whaaaaaat

they were supposed to have a gig in LA on wednesday, did anyone go?

also djing a coachella party 2morrow

US dates still up on their myspace, no mention of cancellations anywhere it seems

also: googling "aeroplane canceled" somehow doesn't primarily turn up information on the belgian nu-balearic duo, i wonder why is this the case?

...ugh, wait, the nyc date's been removed, no mention of coachella either, n/m

nooooooooooo

fyi SF heads, Mixmag w/ Disco Balearica mix in stock at Amoeba right now!

i saw them at medusa in l.a. on wednesday! it was really fun, but i was too drunk and i'm not obsessive enough to comment on track selection, though i'm pretty familiar with all of their stuff and their mixes. big cheers for 'paris,' obviously. played the sebastian tellier remix, too. it was just one half of aeroplane, the smaller of the two of them and he seemed quite accomplished with transitions and whatnot. apparently they are also playing at anthem magazine's pool party tomorrow, adjacent to coachella, which i just so happened to get lucky enough to snag wristbands for.

If this means that they're concentrating on finishing the album and getting it out asap then I hope the Americans will consider this taking one for the team.

This link was just posted on their Facebook page so guess they are in the States:
