this backwoods track on the other hand is MORE LIKE IT

ugh, why are Japanese CDs so expensive??

i feel like lex has not heard the track jaxon and i were talking about tho... regardless of how you feel about dude's voice the "bliss and ecstacy" is totally at the forefront in that one, and he barely sings at all

i wish there was a soundcloud or youtube i could post but it's a vinyl-only bonus track what're you gonna do
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 6 February 2011 20:22 (thirteen years ago) link
i've heard the destroyer single and a couple of others? i don't like the sound either, there's something pinched and awful about how he filters an ostensibly "balearic" sound - the entire thing just feels like some indie dude glomming on to the balearic aesthetic, and getting it slightly rather than completely wrong actually irks MORE
― lextasy refix (lex pretend), Sunday, 6 February 2011 20:29 (thirteen years ago) link
because he seems to have fucking fooled everyone
i guess i can see why someone wouldn't want to engage with that album based on theory, and how it could get in the way of enjoying it, etc. this track is not really very similar to the rest of the album fwiw

lex, listen to this and come back, relaxed, blissed out, and w/a different viewpoint pleasehttp://mediumrotation.blogspot.com/2011/01/destroyer-kaputt.html

that bonus track is incredible

samples from the gatto frito album sound good http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/products/GattoFritto-TheAlbum-InternationalFeel-74355.html
― mizzell, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 18:49 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm liking that butch album quite a bit, though it's probably more bobbins than balearic on the whole
stoked for the gatto fritto too, though a few tracks have been out for a while ("invisble college" and "beachy head" iirc)

Found this (Blondes - "You Mean So Much To Me") on the Altered Zones 2010 songs list. Beautiful track, epic scope, reminds me somehow of the Studio rework of A Mountain of One.
Not sure if this is Balearic? Slow burner, organic, dreamy anyway.

I slot them in with nu-cosmic synth stuff like oneohtrix, emeralds, stellar om source, etc. but yeah very cool track
their rework of Synthesist on the Harald Grosskopf reissue is good too
― dmr, Friday, 25 February 2011 13:04 (thirteen years ago) link
i ride hard for that blondes album, was sorta disappointed that it got lost in the mix last year- pretty euphoric stuff. i sorta file them with teengirl fantasy (who were a lot more high profile in certain publications) namely because they are both from oberlin and on merok but they have fairly similar sounds too imo. not very balearic, more trancey if you ask me?
and yes i need to find a copy of that synthesist rework, the samples are outstanding

My god "The Laziest River" is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
― Tim F, Saturday, 26 February 2011 11:35 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm hoping he's been playing that live, but i don't think it's likely
i found a copy of those groskopf covers (thank u btw) and i'm pretty into it. especially the arp one

Some of you might want this"A Jean Giraud" album I made a few years back. I dunno?

yep i'm a fan too, i have the vinyl with 1-3. did you physically release any of the rest?
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Thursday, 3 March 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks guys!
a lagoon... - the same label that released 1-3 also put #5 on a compilation about a year back. Cd/digital only I think. I wanted people to hear the rest of these so decided to post them on SC. No plans for a physical release of the whole thing but I would love to sometime down the road.

Also bought the 12" TINAE. Listen to it a lot.
― mmmm, Thursday, 3 March 2011 23:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Not sure if this is balearic as such but considering shelling out for the vinylhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvZ1Tgqjv3g

last time i had a whole bunch of paypal cash from selling records on ebay, i told myself i was gonna stop buying lots of cheap records and shell out for a few really expensive ones. this was top of the list. i ended up buying lots of cheap records
― jaxon, Thursday, 3 March 2011 23:04 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, I always do that. Then, when I do pay out it gets a reissue a month or so down the line; Harry Thumann - Andromeda!
― mmmm, Thursday, 3 March 2011 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
i really love this brian bennett track
― Lamp, Thursday, 3 March 2011 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I've been listening to the Test Pressing Phil Mison mix again recently too. I love how it's bordering on complete new age-ness. I almost expect to hear Deep Forest or Paul Hardcastle or something.
― mmmm, Thursday, 3 March 2011 23:21 (thirteen years ago) link
^ which one? i think he has a bunch on test pressing. the cafe del mar one is pretty much complete new age-ness as you say, if you like that you should definitely also check out the padilla mixes if you haven't already
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Friday, 4 March 2011 00:14 (thirteen years ago) link
also there are loads of cheap records that sound like that brian bennett track. i've never seen an overpriced new age section in any record store ever
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Friday, 4 March 2011 00:17 (thirteen years ago) link
except for Innovative Communication records :(
― jaxon, Friday, 4 March 2011 02:15 (thirteen years ago) link
also, that song is not why i would buy that record
― jaxon, Friday, 4 March 2011 02:20 (thirteen years ago) link
is it for the free poster + digital download?
― Lamp, Friday, 4 March 2011 02:32 (thirteen years ago) link
worth it for "solstice" alone imo

not sure if it was mentioned on this thread or the aeroplane one, but this poolside track is getting released soon and it is great. at least one of these ppl is from sf i think?

the jacques renault remix isn't shabby either, a bit deeper/moodier but with new/better female vocals
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Thursday, 17 March 2011 17:50 (thirteen years ago) link
jeffr0desiac used to live in sf but i think is in la now. he used to throw that nu rave electro banger coked out art school college party Blow Up w/r1chie pan1c. i didn't want to like it, but i really dig that song. i actually dislike the new vocals way more than the original.

more new age, maybe, but this mix by hatchback is great

Does anyone know what that super balearic jam at the 42 minute mark of that Psychemagik mix is?

This Psychemagik mix is very good from start to finish, would really love a track listing.

track at 42 sounds a lot like double's 'the captain of her heart'.
