official i love music thread for AEROPLANE

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?

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

'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

it always makes me think of "jump"!

Was it here or the EA forum where someone said it was actually a sample off Supernature?

Or did I hallucinate that?

yes, it's here. but I doubt it's not a sample because it sounds different. it's more like they borrowed the melody.

*i doubt it's a sample

the supernature (esque?) synths are in the aeroplane remix, they come in halfway through or so.

i'm talking about the original sebastien tellier tune's synth melody, which may not be a sample from that art of noise song but is reallllllllly dang similar

I was really bored by the synths in the original. That was one of the things that made it so disappointing.

The sort of... frothy sound of the synths in the remix are pretty much one of the biggest reasons I love it so much. They sound almost like breaking waves, that combination of choppy wub, the heavy phase, and then that slight step delay on the ends of the phrases that sounds like musical ... spray. I think that one synth sound is my favourite synth sound of the whole summer.

Unless the Black Meteoric Star album comes up from behind and usurps is, which it might well do.

i appreciate all synths mentioned here without prejudice, don't really understand all this hate towards the original tbh. it's easily my favorite song on the record, those synths add so much to the sleaze- and are still all over the aeroplane remix

but YES re: black meteoric star

Maybe I find Tellier's "sleaze" just kinda creepy and a bit gross instead of cute or funny?

But I fully admit, that could be because I was so turned off by the video. I have not heard the song in the context of the album.

OK, I'm listening to it now without the picture.

1) it's quite slower than the Aeroplane remix
2) no WUB or step delay on that synth sound - without which it just sounds kinda cheesy. It's the frothy delay that really makes that synth sound for me - the original is too stabby and dull.
3) the lyrics are much clearer on the original, and you can hear what he's actually saying - on the remix, they're smeared out by the delay so it sounds like he's singing "right under the tongue" (I thought it was a coded reference to cunilingus, ha ha)

it sounds like 'right over the top' & the lyrics always kinda implied cross-dressing

but i dont think thats what he intended

also yeah those synths are not cheesy theyre dope

the remix of kilometer sucks....way to remove the space from a great record

also just watching the video...sebastian tellier is basically the greatest human being of all time

somebody change the topic, please..

rude

no. it's just that this discussion about kilometer is no longer informative. it's only "i like it" and "i don't".

right thanks for raising the bar

disappointed you survived your bank holiday ronan
