i grabbed that Sorcerer album. i really like it, but i think it coulda been better had he used more live instruments or analog equipment. it kinda suffers from a computer smoothness. (this is the same complaint i got from a friend when making music a few years ago on Reason)

this Danny Krivit edit of In The Light Of The Miracle was just posted here yesterday, and it's very good -- is the same version on the Soul Jazz comp?
― lucas pine, Thursday, 9 August 2007 06:59 (sixteen years ago) link
thats how i feel about it, jaxon. i switch it off after like 6 tracks. or skip the faster ones.
does windsurf have any vinyl releases or just that mp3EP on kompakt? i really like the stuff on the myspace.
still stuck on Studio - West Coast. Vinyl should arrive by Friday.

Can someone please download that mix I linked to so that i can do some group-gushing?

"group-gushing"

just download it and report back cutty, then tell me if my dodgy portmanteau neologisms are inappropriate.
― Tim F, Thursday, 9 August 2007 12:16 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm gonna keep bumping this thread until someone listens to that mix and reports back.
― Tim F, Friday, 10 August 2007 02:12 (sixteen years ago) link
i've already listened to it once, have to listen again though as i was preoccupied and my ears only mostly perked up when i heard the familiar eno/byrne collab stuff
― cutty, Friday, 10 August 2007 02:35 (sixteen years ago) link
It's pretty good, but I'm not sure I'd put in the Balearic category.

― Michael F Gill, Friday, 10 August 2007 16:45 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost - i read that blog, as it's in my rss feeds, but i gotta say, i don't really get the love for the edits so much. there was one recently of that Voyage "I Love You Dancer" track by Rune Lindbæk that just didn't make any sense. he really didn't do anything to the track besides add echo to a few parts. why not just play the original?

I like both LSB singles a bunch, but it's weird how they both seem to revolve around "Some Girls" by Michael Heart. "Original Highway Delight" blatantly samples it, and "FOG" seems to sample something very similar sounding.
The LSB italo edits were just released too, nothing too essential but I do like the P. Lion one.

the newish Detroit Beatdown Vol 2 ep is like balearic detroit-- really smooth synths, lots of congas, good shit. definitely my best recent purchase!

finally listening to that Diepvries mix.
pretty great in the middle from the max essa track to the mudd and pollard one.
― gr8080, Monday, 13 August 2007 19:43 (sixteen years ago) link
detroit balearic sounds very funny. "this one goes out to all my oppressed brothers who couldn't catch the sunset today."

The Alton Miller "Souls like mine" album from this year is pretty good.
― Michael F Gill, Monday, 13 August 2007 23:47 (sixteen years ago) link
most of the alton miller stuff is pretty good, imho.
also, that comment about the oppressed bros and sunsets was more than a bit offensive.
by Detroit Balearic, i mean it has the synths and feel of detroit techno/hi-tech jazz, but the BPMs are slower, the samples jazzier, the vibe more 'chill.' really quite nice.
― the table is the table, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 00:25 (sixteen years ago) link
it was a stupid irreverent joke! this is the internets though, so i deserve what i get. i guess it was just my kneejerk reaction to seeing the balearic adjective applied to yet another style.
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 00:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I wouldn't worry about it too much Michael, the idea of the Beatdown guys being Balearic is just plain silly.

grady, what is that Mountain Machine? is that a Mountain of One side project? or are jordorowsky references just flying off the shelf these days?
― jaxon, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 04:58 (sixteen years ago) link
is that a Mountain of One side project?
that's what i assumed at first, but i'm not sure anymore. when i was on the myspace last week, one of the tracks on the mp3player had accompanying artwork that looked like something i had seen on a bit of AMO1 promo but i think its gone now.
― gr8080, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 05:06 (sixteen years ago) link
both the artwork for the song Mountain Machine and A Mountain of One use this imagery, from jodorowsky's Holy Mountain

from a comment posted on Mountain Machine's page. can we name all of the references? it's seriously my record collection. i've got McDonald & Giles, Max Roach "Members Don't Git Weary", White Noise (lightning bolts), Brian Eno's "Another Green World" (weird characters under wave), Thom Yorke, Selda, Sa Ra Creative Partners, Fela Kuti, Eddie Gale (in robes), John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Lou Rawls, Gentle Giant (king in crown). there's a lot more i recognize but can't place.

I checked out Aeroplane on Myspace (owing to this thread's recommendation and because they're myspace friends with all the Swedish balearic mafia) only to discover that their eponymous song is my favourite track (or equal favourite with "Let It Happen") from Lindstrom & Prins Thomas' Radio 1 Essential Mix. So large sounding.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 13:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Table you might be able to make a good case aurally, as the beatdown guys do venture into "chill out" (for lack of a better phrase) areas. But I wouldn't think that the music comes from taking style notes on say, Balearic comps and flamenco guitar players.
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 22:18 (sixteen years ago) link
oh god no. more jazzy, for sure.
