blybo Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I recently went to Italy for a working holiday with the family. I got sick of being interupted from watching movies by my 2 little girls so decided to look into the album collections on Emirates. Came away with this list of artists or albums to follow up on Spotify once home. Being in an A380 and wearing Bose noise cancelling headphones the sound was quite okay given the situation, but an exhausted/dreary state is not the best to critic music. Obviously the last 2 are old classic recordings I've never owned for some reason. I'll rectify that soon. Bull Funk ZooJames Vincent McMorrowBillie Joe & Norah JonesLordeHaim- days are goneLinkin park-Recharged/living thingsPearl Jam-lightening boltBirdyLondon Grammar-if you wantThe temperance movementFranz Ferdinand-right thoughts,right wordsThirty Seconds to Mars-Love Lust Faith & dreamsImagine Dragons-night visionsPaulo Nutini-Caustic LoveDamon Albarn- Everyday RobotsChristina Perri- Head or HeartMassive attack- Blue LinesThe stone roses- the stone roses I listened to Bull Funk Zoo yesterday and wasn't as taken as I was inflight. Liking James Vincent McMorrows 2 most recent albums though... God I love Spotify for this reason alone.
Decky Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Time machine - the only way to avoid a long flight in the first place. Works for me all the time.

bwhitesox Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Some good stuff there, I'm really liking the London Grammer album at the moment.
surprisetech Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Lots of compromises watching movies on a plane - I seldom bothered. Was very happy back when the airlines first started offering the option to listen to albums. No Spotify or anything similar back then. Resulted in a few subsequent purchases. Prior to that I mostly listened to the Soul/R&B Channel.
blybo Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 I usually sleep like a log, even down the back. Unfortunately a 3 and 4 yo were not going to let that happen like it does when traveling solo. Did manage to sleep roughly half of the Melbourne Dubai leg though. Then tried as best I could to stay awake for most of Dubai > Venice as we were arriving mid arvo. My girls fell asleep AS WE WERE WALKING to dinner that night!

Prior to that I mostly listened to the Soul/R&B Channel. I find the opposite. Can't concentrate on music and find myself nodding off. I usually try and watch movies I know my wife wouldn't be interested in or aren't HT room worthy like comedies. 1
Jone5y Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Can't concentrate on music and find myself nodding off. Me too, it's certainly a good way to pass the time I usually try and watch movies I know my wife wouldn't be interested in or aren't HT room worthy like comedies. This is also my criteria for inflight music selection
sleach Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I think the slight oxygen deprivation makes things seem good that would otherwise seem like mindless crap. Eg I got a few laughs watching "the Interns" on a flight. But when I tried to watch the end later in the hotel, I realised it was complete shite. Sent from my iphone
Saxon Hall Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I don't have a problem at all. Last time I took a long haul flight overseas was in a Catalina Flying Boat and it was too noisy to watch Gone With The Wind on the in flight entertainment system 1
mrbuzzardstubble Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I only travel overseas by ship:White Star Line.I wouldn't recommend it for the music though.They always seem to play either "Autumn" or "Nearer My God To Thee" 2
Kaynin Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) ...as In Gin & Tonic + Valium? No, Time Machine as in... Pisses the other passengers off though...but the only way to drown out the engine noise... Edited July 2, 2014 by Kaynin 1
mrbuzzardstubble Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Nice looking time machine,kanyin.H.G.Wells would be impressed 1
