yeah the instrumental was the b-side of "black skin blue eyed boys" iirc

So is that Eric Duncan mix actually from 2005? Not that it really matters with balearic mixes. He was on Beats in Space last night too

I can't get over how much Prinzhorn Dance School sounds like that Pedestrians song...but maybe I'm imagining it. Fire In My Heart is fantastic!

Lee Douglas Pump Edit
the 12" that this comes off is so sick, two of the best edits i've heard in aaaaaaaaaages
the now aeons-old beyond the wizards sleeve rmx of midlake has snuck out on a 10" if any of you were after a physical copy, btw

Violet Morning Moon is probably the must have balearic track of the summer: the original and the Dr. Dunks remix.

so this new ESP Institute release, Concentration is a mix and it is fucking amazing. Obscurities, edits and originals it's kinda like a balearic/leftfield equivalent of the Justin V mix Try to Find Me Vol 2. Worldly disco and jazzy rock pieces... i think it's my favorite release of the year. so good for summer vibez
― ashra williams (san frandisco), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 04:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Lovefingers on Beats in Space tonight and billed as Lovefingers from ESP Institute so hopefully will have a similar vibe to that Concentration release
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 09:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Can I just second that Concentration album - awesome mix and only £8.99 from most places. Anyone have any clue as to some of the original material used for the edits?
And the Beats in Space was pretty spectacular too, both Lovefingers' set and the preceding one by Kenji Takimi.

hey SF Balearix - doing my Flow Motion happy hour tonight @ Triple Crown, 5:30-10pm, expect a mixture of Balearic classics, nu-balearic goodies, slo-mo disco jams and the occasional pop oddity...it's free, killer pizzas are 1/2 price (with most being $4-6 after discount) and it's a nice spot to relax after work. See ya there?
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Thursday, 12 August 2010 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Wish I could but I'm 6000 miles and a whole lotta weather away. Pizzas + balearic = a good deal imo.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 12 August 2010 19:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Pacific Horizons have done a mix for our blog...
Its a 60 minute balearic groove-on.
Pacific Horizons - promo mix #1
Can't wait for their new 12", the last one was great.
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Friday, 13 August 2010 11:44 (thirteen years ago) link
great fucking mix, digging it!
also - San Francisco Balearic people, Balearic Mike himself will be in town next week starting Monday. He'll actually be playing the Plunge outdoor campout this weekend, I believe tickets are on sale still. We've got a couple of good gigs for him but if you'd like to host him hit me back at another dimension at geemail dot com. otherwise hold tight for gig announcements. :)
ps he's playing on Beats In Space tonight so check that!

One of the Unabombers played Violet Morning Moon at one of the boat parties at the Electric Elephant festival in Croatia and it sounded incredible in that setting, people dancing in the sunshine over the Adriatic. Pretty much my track of the year.

Anyone else heard Arp's new album The Soft Wave? Not sure it fits in this thread as it's almost ambient music but it's on Smalltown Supersound and is breathtakingly beautiful in places.

― groovypanda, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 12:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Arp is more kosmische than Balearic IMHO.
More Germanic Woodland than Ibizian Beach.
His album with Anthony Moore is some sublime shit though.
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
ok this new arp album is really great. keeps a lot of what i dug about the first album intact, but adds some new/welcome touches- that guitar sounds amazing! i agree that it's more kraut than balearic (though if you threw any of these in a padilla-esque mix i think it would sound perfect), and i like how they are evolving from more terry riley-style analog minimalism to a sorta fuzzed-out zuckerzeit thing- not a HUGE departure but this album and the emeralds album i think are really beginning to get a nearly perfect retro-komische ambient sound and i for one could not care less about how derivative it all is
what is the thing with anthony moore like? i've been looking out for that
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Monday, 11 October 2010 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link
There's a MP3 on this blog.
Full album's only £5 - £10 (depending on bit rate) over at Juno
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 09:27 (thirteen years ago) link
the Anthony Moore thing is great, even better when its not on overpriced vinyl like I had to get.
well worth the money, but with minimalist stuff like this, you have to be in the space, rather than listening to soundclips on Juno.
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 14:50 (thirteen years ago) link
So apart from Arp and "Violet Moon", what else of late should I be investigating? Only found this morning there's a second Permanent Vacation compilation, but could do with more to keep my ears busy...

have you heard Rocha? two singles on International Feel, both are great. Also check out the International Feel comp http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/products/VariousArtists-InternationalFeel-InternationalFeel-72511.html

Concentration Vol 1 mixed by Lovefingers and homies.
― beta blog, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
i've been liking the yacht-rockish edits from seahawks, i don't know much about the project but there's a few unreleased tracks on soundcloud too
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 27 October 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
also pretty much everything (including the concentration mix) on lovefingers' ESP institute label has been great- sombrero galaxy, cos/mes singles, etc
if you're looking for a great balearic mix the bubble club beats in space is really pretty wonderful as well

anger in the balearic scene (mother chimney is hatchback)http://dreamchimney.com/tracks/comments/MessageBoard.php?topic=13038
i think the arp album is pretty nice, but i definitely know what he's talking about. the first time i heard it was right after listening to an older 80s new age album (patrick o'hearn) in an itunes playlist and i honestly didnt' know the albums had changed.
― jaxon, Thursday, 28 October 2010 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link
i've mentioned that that track sounds exactly like a specific brian eno track somewhere on ilm before. it was on a smalltown supersound comp.

"ancient dreams" from 85. psychgawsple hipped me to it. it's really beautiful. ambient synthy noodly stuff
― jaxon, Thursday, 28 October 2010 19:30 (thirteen years ago) link
also check out the group he was in w/Mark Isham called Group 87. i've got both their albums and they're fab. i think the later one "A Career In Dada Processing" is better. and Isham's "Vapor Drawings" is great too.
all this stuff is sorta new age, balearic, soundtracky, space jazz
― jaxon, Thursday, 28 October 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link
kinda interesting that someone who released a track called "everything is neu" would get so worked up about something like that

did I ever mention Thieves Like Us on this thread? 'cause their new album is still holding up for me. Their older stuff was more "Factory records meets French house" but I think you definitely have to have the Balearic gene to get into tracks like this one:
