Neutral Milk Hotel were part of the esteemed Athens, Georgia psychedelic Elephant 6 collective, which was also home to Olivia Tremor Control & Apples In Stereo. Shunning the mainstream and performing rarely to the dismay of fans meant that 'Aeroplane…' never received its due exposure. Acknowledged by indie cognoscenti as a lost classic, its scope & influence can be traced from the macabre tones of the Arcade Fire ("'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' is one of the most completely inspiring rock records I've ever heard … everytime I finish listening to it I feel like I've lived through something I'll never quite understand, something really big.' Ben Reed Parry of the Arcade Fire), to the exploratory journeys of Anticon/Mush crew - "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is absolutely the most inspiring album, lyrically, that I have ever heard. Jeff Mangum's lyrics are the closest anyone has ever come to putting my dreams into music. I don't know what else to say, other than this is the one album I would take on a deserted island if I had only one choice." - Boom Bip
