Björk "Aeroplane"
Björk recorded her first version of "Aeroplane" back on Iceland in 1990 together with three Icelandic brass players. It became the first "Debut"-demo. Björk wanted to re-record the song together with Graham Massey, who she knew from the music she'd heard with 808-state (the band he plays in) so she called him and then she sent him this demo. They never re-recorded the track but Graham Massey wanted Björk to appear on an 808-state-record, instead. So Björk recorded two song ("Ooops" and "Q-mart") together with 808-state, which appeared on the album "Ex:el" (released in 1991) and that incident became the beginning of a long working-relation-ship.
Björk re-recorded the song together with Nelleh Hooper and Oliver Lake from The World Saxophone Quartet instead. She wrote the lyrics for the song while she was still with The Sugarcubes and lived in Reykjavik and had to travel around the world to meet Dom T.
