Sheffield gig

Great gig again (3rd time I've seen them on this tour). More people than
at
Nottingham & Leicester put together and better sound too.
Anyone going to Bristol, make sure you see all the supports. Catlow's last
track is excellent (chorus goes something like "Down down down".) Sorry
for
crap description but honestly it is fantastic).
Anyway, I hope everyone going enjoys the BA's as much as I have this last
week and I hope it's not another 10 years before I see them again.

Subject: [Blueplanes] Altitude in Time Out (London)
There's a short but glowing review of Altitude in this week's Time Out
London edition (p.102 if you happen to be passing a newsagent). 5 stars
(out of a peculiar maximum of 6). I've got no scanner at the moment, so
here it is transcribed:
"The best band to emerge from the West Country - including the hugely
overrated Massive Attack - and one of the most innovative rock bands
period,
Bristol's Blue Aeroplanes fizzed and crackled through the skies of late
'80s
and early '90s Britain before landing softly during the peak of Britpop.
Altitude finds them climbing back to the summit. Bucolic folk-pop,
fuzz-infused guitar heroics, jangly melancholy, Bert Jansch-style acoustic
vamping - all topped off by front man Gerard Langley, a man laughably
compared to the beat poets (he's ten times better). Pure, unfettered
genius."
Not sure I'd go quite that far myself, but good effort reviewer Gordon
Thomson.
