There's another great track at 20 minutes on that one (The Island?)

nice work, willem. the track after it is great too - that eden rock mix generally is really good.

Have a number of these cuts in my iTunes library so am enjoying this. I find myself predisposed to the less house-y, more pillowy synthy stuff – so this hits the spot.

Any other recommendations for similar 'classic' balearic/electronic music?
feel like this one could be slotted away in a similar electronic/euphoric subcategory of balearica
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8LeK27_c-M
tho e2-e4 is obviously a lot less cheesy than most of this stuff, sorta hard to compare anything to it in a direct way. on the proggier/noodlier side of things definitely ashra, maybe transfer station blue? wahnfried's townelle? innovative communication in general - clara mondshine, double fantasy, etc. not sure if those were actual classics at the time but they feel right.
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Sunday, 29 March 2015 16:05 (nine years ago) link
thanks, I'll check those out. More asking about classic records in general than something exactly akin to E2-E4.

that spotify playlist was a bit overkill for me - when it's 360 tracks and some are just well-known hits it becomes a bit useless and unfocused.

https://soundcloud.com/seekmagic/bassos-guest-mix-cocktails-by
good mix too - think i had it somewhere before it came up in my soundcloud stream today
― Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 10:50 (nine years ago) link
Maybe something by Shunzoh Ohno? I need to check his late 70s/early 80s albums to confirm. Also I just realized that Basso is aka "Breeze", who constructed several definitive Nu-Balearic mixes that were floating around the web five or so years ago.
― doug watson, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 14:35 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I think that one was as Breeze - I am sure I've heard it before it got shared in my stream today - possibly a few years back.
I will investigate Shunzoh Ohno, thanks.

good mix by sorcerer - this kinda ends up as house/dub techno by the middle, but either way i'm putting it here.

Yeah I mostly just stick it on shuffle for an hour or so when I'm in the right mood and short on ideas, which is usually Sunday morning.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 09:45 (nine years ago) link
there are some brilliant tunes on it for sure - just it's a bit of a wide lens - it's (obviously) quite a brit-centric 80s take on balearic too, there are a lot of old tunes i hear in many diff mixes that are quite a diff take on balearic.
― the swagger of oasis (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 21 April 2015 09:47 (nine years ago) link
That Sorcerer mix is glorious, the shift into house and beachy techno midway through feels very early 90s. It's actually more like a really good compilation than a mix.
