Magical Realism – The Best of The Blue Aeroplanes 1985–2025 is the first definitive anthology from Bristol’s longest-running art-rock band. Spanning 23 newly remastered tracks, it includes fan favourites like "...And Stones," "Jacket Hangs," and "Dead Tree! Dead Tree!" along with two bonus tracks: a pre-Aeroplanes Art Objects recording and a brand-new demo. Featuring a 24-page booklet with lyrics, rare photos, and song insights from frontman Gerard Langley, the collection celebrates 40 years of influence on bands like R.E.M., Radiohead, and Manic Street Preachers.
