I haven't seen them play better than that even though the line ups have changed this tour has obvioulsy sharpened them up. Great sound too.

Same here a mate I took who is very critical when it comes to all things musical was really impressed just hope they keep this going and tour again later in the year. Gerard mentioned Beautiful is as being a future single release.

anyway if you're due to see 'em enjoy...

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.
