I just bought that Ministry of Sound Fred Deakin Balearic thing on iTunes and I guess it's probably BLRC 101 (or even not totally relevant) to the vets on this thread, but I am liking a lot of it. Good deal, too - 10 pounds and you get both discs of individual tracks plus both discs mixed.

The new mix on Beats in Space by Balearic Mike is ace. Having a bloody mary here in SF and the weather is just fine for these tunes. It's good because it goes out a little from the usual tried and tested balearic sonic palette, reaches out to some Brazilian stuff, some folk-rock Balearic, makes the mix that Quiet Village did for RA look tepid in comparison.

should have posted this here instead of beardo:
samples of the new mark e sound awesome

his 2 running back releases are on itunes btw (r&b drunkie and good times are not, obv)

"R&B Drunkie" makes the last 100 years of human history all worth it.

the two mark e mixes going around out there at the moment—mystery mix on dj history and turn it out (forget the blog that hosted)—are so fantastic.

anyone know what's going on with Windsurf? they said in the fader that they are putting out an album this year but there is nothing really on their myspace (one new song that is awesome of course). they're probably my favorite new balearic band besides studio.

Eskimo just released their remix of Low Motion Disco, plus a forthcoming remix on Permanent Vacation, then an album on Internasjonal. coming soon!

Parlour sound very promising, although hard to pin down. "Amor" is like a cross between Studio and A Mountain of One - melodramatic widescreen balearic prog-MOR. "Capriccio" is bloated beardo-italodisco-rock. "Theme" is ridiculous afro-disco-pop that's a bit Boney M.
True to form, Studio, A Mountain of One, Richard Norris and Permanent Vacation are all friends with them.
― Tim F, Thursday, 26 June 2008 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link
can someone leo either/both permanent vacation mixes?

"mark e is so crucial"
naturally, i'd love to agree given that i have had a few emails over the last couple of years from people thinking i'm the man behind these tracks, but to be honest, i aint feeling this stuff.
yet.

i heard "foreign affair" by mike oldfield on the radio while eating at a restaurant in prague and it was :D :D :D
― impudent harlot, Friday, 27 June 2008 20:21 (fifteen years ago) link
fits in wonderfully with this stuff, but i imagine everyone who posts to this thread has heard it by this point and i am ten years in the past as usual
― impudent harlot, Friday, 27 June 2008 20:22 (fifteen years ago) link
aside:
i'm assuming from context the meaning of to "leo" or "leonardo" (v.) is "plz to send me this music thing." how'd this one come about? why? etc.? just curious.

old noize board thread. it was a title that got switched up a bunch of times and ended up that way

apparently not everyone loves balearic stylings. was in the car yesterday and playing the Balearic Mike beats in space mix (which i absolutely ADORE) and the two ladies in the car kept asking me wtf i was playing. they said if they were listening to music like this, they expected to be getting a massage. lol new age
― jaxon, Friday, 27 June 2008 21:03 (fifteen years ago) link
don't make me come back there and massage you ladies! i'll turn this car around!

Peter Visti's "Tokyo By Night" = the one piece of culture that will live on in the heart and mind of the universe when our planet and our species are long gone.
AKA it's the "Da Funk" of balearic.

ok listening to that j. gonzalez/todd terje track right now. EPIC.

In reality "Tokyo By Night" is the second best balearic track of the year after "Whispers".

New mix: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/38583/mikebee%20-%20newmix0608.mp3

no one seems to be talking abt the new lindstrøm? i posted on the thread for it... i think its great. probably fits more under 'balearic' than 'beardo.' "the long way home" sounds like a straight rip of michael shrieve's "transfer station blue." title track is sort of a jarre/e2-e4 thing. great for summer nights.
― max, Thursday, 3 July 2008 21:50 (fifteen years ago) link
max, dunno if you heard this or not, but did you hear this Klaus Shønning track i put on my site? sounds totally like "transfer station blue" http://robotsinheat.com/trax/LocrianArabesque.mp3
