official i love music thread for AEROPLANE

You and me, both!

They've got that OOOOOOOH SOO SMOOOOOOOTH phasey keyboard sound I haven't heard since Duran Duran. They make me want to sit on a yacht in a white bikini and bird of paradise makeup and sip odd pink cocktails. soooo good.

(though have discovered: it's their original mix of Kilometre that makes me melt, not the Italo 84 mix)

Though I keep forgetting that song has an orgasm in it - I keep getting the juju eyes from people when I dj coz I keep playing orgasm songs without realising it. (I think I had two of them last night. oops.)

do you mean that there's 2 versions of their remix for kilometer??

Yeah, I thought they were the same thing until I accidentally downloaded the wrong one!

I don't actually know what the difference is apart from 4 seconds longer. In fact, listening to them note for note next to one another... I think there's just slightly more step delay on the non-Italo one and the EQ is slightly different? I'm not even trusting my ears at this point. Maybe they're the same and it's entirely psychological that I view the non-Italo one as more "swhirly" and less "crisp"

no idea.

seems like its probably psychological since unless aeroplane released a bootleg of the non-'italo 84' version, this is all youve got...

I got them both off iTunes, so they're both perfectly legal. Huh. A mystery!

i was driving the other day with nothing to listen to, threw in an old mix cd i made a year and a half ago, and their fool for love remix came on. i can't remember if it's gotten much hype on here, but it's so great. much more in style with what they were coming out with originally

yeah, that remix seems underrated.

the das pop rmx was the first thing of theirs that i heard and i still rate it as one of the best things they've done - love those stupid huge italo keyboards

aeroplane top 9 june 09 - https://rcpt.yousendit.com/704477030/4314b427a28047887e25d7990089d3f8 (from their facebook group)

^^^here's the tracklist btw -

1. Phoenix : Lisztomania - Classixx Version
2. Doves : Jetstream - Lindstrom Remix
3. Florence And The Machine : Rabbit Heart - Leo Zero Remix
4. Lowbrows : Dream in The Desert - Flight Facilities Remix
5. Bent : Always - Mighty Mouse Remix
6. Classixx Feat. Jeppe: I'll Get You
7. Fever Ray : Triangle Walks - Rex The Dog Edit
8. Peaches : Loose You - Brodinski & Yuksek Dub
9. Joakim : Nebula Laughter

some of those remixes had better contain nothing of the originals :/

also it's mixed! which the title sorta led me to not expect

xpost- only original i've heard is fever ray, but ya still there are divisive indie-electro-pop vocals all over this thing

fever ray is the one which is other way round - love the og but kinda don't want to hear another rex the dog remix in 2009 - you just know it's gonna be so formulaic

aeroplane has always been remixers of mediocre or worse songs. see: "paris", "circuit", "now til 69", "fool for love". hell, almost all of the songs that got remixed by them are mediocre!

But that's the thing - they take mediocre, boring songs and make them AMAZING.

I don't think I'd want to hear them tackle a song that was already good.

yeah, that's also my point. it's a reply for lex's statement: "some of those remixes had better contain nothing of the originals :/"

I don't think I'd want to hear them tackle a song that was already good.

That's overstating it a bit, no? "William's Blood"!

OK, OK, point taken - but I'd not heard the original of that when I heard the remix.

Download limit has been reached :'( Anyone got another link?

'kilometer' was cool too

Sort've meh on that new mix, seems a bit Aeroplane-by-the-numbers.

^^^ i was of this thinking for a while too but the kilometer mix has a way of wedging itself in your brain and making you submit to its charms

oh u were talkin baout the june mix weren't u

i dig the first couple of tunes a bunch, that lindstrom remix of doves is pretty epic. this mix isn't really too far from the mixmag one imo, maybe slightly less exciting because there are no actual aeroplane mixes on here but it's still pretty fun stuff

I like the mixmag one, it's a total populist thing and full of obvious choices, but then of course populism is one of Aeroplane's strenghts. Very hard to get sick of "Now Till 69", "Kilometer"...even "Paris", which has well and truly been played to death by now.

thanks for the link mr. me too!

Nope, even Aeroplane couldn't make Florence and the Machine listenable, whoever did the remix. Oh well.

Just clicked in this thread to see what the heck the mega-building spacerock explosion song was at the end. This is pretty Epic, in like, the Beowulf sense of the word.

(And as an aside, I was completely disappointed when I heard the original Kilometre. It's awful.)

haha kate i wouldnt be surprised if we made a venn diagram of "the musical taste of many people on this thread" and "the musical taste of kate" the overlap would be "aeroplane remixes"

fwiw i dig the og kilometre something fierce, and i really love the f&the machine edit (thats leo zero from amo1)

I think you'd be surprised. If we're going to be completely honest about it, a lot of the intersection comes from the bit labelled "Erol Alkan cosmic space glam disco with some beats on". And don't forget, Electronica is where a lot of the dronerock/shoegaze kids wibbled off to after the whole nu-gaze thing went tits up. (James Holden after all has more in common with the original shoegaze aesthetic than, say, Barney Rubble Motorcycle Club ever did.)

I need to know more about this Joakim : Nebula Laughter track. It's totally spacerock, especially the last few minutes, and I want some more of that to put next to my Silver Apples records.

love love love the kilometer remix

That Joakim track is a new one I gather? Yum. great joakim remix comp

B-side of this, aparently. WANT.

that Lisztomania remix by Classixx is very Aeroplane-esque

i think you'd dig joakim kate - search out that remix comp willem linked to.

Trailmix remix of You Make Lovin' Fun is pretty Aeroplaney too

^^^check out max's post on our blog for this

haha, yeah it's kinda lifeless although I wouldn't say awful.

I love it! Perhaps it works better in the context of the album.

I was disappointed with that album as a whole but that remix is probs my favourite aeroplane outside Paris

Granted, I didn't hear it in the context of the album - I just saw it on YouTube. It didn't help that the video kind of made me want to throw up a little, too.

'lifeless' isnt fair -- its a totally difft kind of song -- going for a louche slow eroticisms rather than a dance-y italo remix

it was my favorite track off the tellier record

that synth noise is XD

i was actually kind of disappointed in the aeroplane remix at first since it lost what i really like about the o.g.

the a-trak remix is pretty good, surprisingly

"kilometer" becomes more awesome when you imagine it as a tribute to the scarface soundtrack (well to me anyway)

actually that kinda goes more for the album as a whole

original kilometer > > > > > > remixes

not big aeroplane fan so i'll stfu

that synth noise is XD

i've been wondering if tellier straight ripped it from art of noise's "paranoimia", vv similar
