“Down to Earth (Flight Facilities album)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The album was nominated for the ARIA Award for Album of the Year in 2014, as well as for Best Dance Release and Best Cover Art.^[2]

Of the group's six singles released prior to the album, three were omitted from the album—"Foreign Language", "With You" and "I Didn't Believe". Two of these would resurface on their Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra album.

By the end of 2015, the album was certified Gold for sales of more than 35,000 units.^[3]

Release and promotion

On 24 August 2014, Flight Facilities uploaded a video to YouTube to promote the release of their album and upcoming tour dates.^[5] The video premiered the album artwork and listed all the featured artists.

Shortly afterwards, Flight Facilities' website^[6] was updated for album pre-orders, which included the First Class Experience containing branded eye mask, inflatable pillow, toothbrush, socks and ear plugs.

On 9 September 2014, the video for "Two Bodies" featuring Emma Louise was released as the first single, even though other album tracks had already been released prior.

In the days leading up to the album release, previews of the album had been released to the media with no explanation as to who was the guest vocalist on a reprise of their first ever single from 2010, Crave You, co-written by Giselle Rosselli. On October 16, triple j suggested it may be Kylie Minogue, but Flight Facilities refused to confirm, saying "I think that everyone will find out who it is collectively pretty soon but it's a secret that we definitely want to be kept just for [now]. It's something that we're really excited about but we didn't want to be a gimmick."^[7]

That same day, Flight Facilities uploaded a video of Kylie Minogue performing an a cappella cover of "Crave You", wearing an oversized T-shirt while standing on a mattress in a loft apartment, confirming her appearance.^[8]

The boys said "the initial idea was to maybe put (Kylie) on the whole of 'Crave You' – to do it again. But we actually felt [that] keeping the original [version] on is part of keeping our original story mixed with the new."

The album was released 24 October 2014, debuting at number 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart for the week commencing 3 November 2014.
