I cajoled a friend and her partner to take in the Boardwalk date. Theyre
very rock n roll but BA virgins. Blown away, so they were, by the wall of
guitar sound and the lead singer, who she thought looked a cross between
Eric Morecombe and Tom Jones.

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.
