When punk's implosion offered British musicians a chance to once again draw on earlier eras for inspiration, one of those who took full advantage was Gerard Langley, the frontman of Bristol's free-floating collective. The sustenance Langley drew from 's nasal monologues (as well as ) is evident on the band's second album, which offers wordy musings on subjects as diverse as Andy Warhol, 'Soul,' and W.H. Auden's 'Journal of an Airman' (recited here to somewhat less than dramatic effect). Luckily, the talented half-dozen bandmembers back him with a tight and coherent sound, full of post-punk's scratchy rhythm guitars and rubber band basslines, as well as the occasional effective embellishment on instruments like French horn and banjo. Using reference points that include prime ('Rare Flowers') and early ('Arrival'), the players take the pressure off Langley's poetry; he even sings on 'When the Wave Comes,' a pop-leaning treat.

Though not as fully realized as later outings, the ambitious Tolerance isn't overwhelmed by its own artiness, either -- no small feat.

The Blue Aeroplanes are an art rock group from Bristol, England, that has drawn comparisons to critically acclaimed rock bands like the Velvet Underground because of their eclectic style and the songwriting sensibility of group leader Gerard Langley. The original core of the band included Langley's brother John on drums, Nick Jacobs on guitar, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Chapman.

However, personnel other than Langley has varied, and (on both records and in performances) they have always been augmented by a large cast of semi-regular sidemen. (By the time of their 1991 album, Beatsongs, the Aeroplanes' lineup included guitarist Angelo Bruschini, guitarist Rodney Allen, bassist Andy McCreeth, drummer Paul Mulreany, and guitarist/keyboard player Alex Lee, with another eight musicians listed in the credits.) The group released Bop Art on the Abstract Records label in April 1984, then signed to Fire Records, for which they recorded their second album, Tolerance (October 1986), and their third, Spitting Out Miracles (1987), plus several EPs. Pdmworkskeygen Solidsquad. Spitting Out Miracles was their first U.S. Release, followed by the compilation album Friendloverplane (1988), a double LP on Fire in the U.K.

That was reduced to a single LP on Restless in the U.S. The Blue Aeroplanes then signed to the Ensign division of Chrysalis Records and charted in the U.K. With two 1989 singles, 'Jacket Hangs' and '.And Stones,' as well as their 1990 and 1991 albums, Swagger and Beatsongs. ~ William Ruhlmann • ORIGIN Bristol, England • FORMED 1983.
