this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

Yeah, Sorcerer is more ''yacht rock,'' which -- admittedly -- is a genre where I can only say ''I know it when I hear it.'' I mentioned this above, but AMO1 is available on eMusic.

Man that mix is sweet The Richard Schneider track is great sounds like a mix of Brazilian/Balearic, beautiful stuff. Ends with some fantastic whistling.

xp to battags, i'm sure you'll still sell some copies! and anyway, every time i hit amoeba and can't find something on my list, i walk out with five other things especially if i am looking for this style of music or nu-disco. i recently moved from sf so i don't get to amoeba as much as i'd like to. it's good for the wallet, but not for the music fix.

big, big article on "cosmic disco" in the SF Bay Guardian this week - the cover story no less - with Arp, Sorcerer, Hatchback, our own Dominique Leone, & Lindstrom & Prins Thomas....

http://www.sfbg.com/entry.php?entry_id=4843&volume_id=317&issue_id=322&volume_num=42&issue_num=04&l=1

btw tricky -- feel free to call ahead of time and ask for certain things - i can hold them or special order them for you, and it's nice to know what the demand is for a certain title before i order it...

sounds good. right now i need a stylus :/

Leone's MySpace page contains audio treats, but what about his sketchbook page? It turns out he's drawing, in his words, "a giant skyscraper-sized robot that streams music and scents into the air and every 10 minutes or so spews out free kittens.

ysi pls?

no scanner! :(

how will i get the dominque leone album now that oink is gone

From a giant skyscraper-sized robot that streams music and scents?

So my feeble attempts at convincing people that it should be called Space Disco or something because Cosmic means something entirely different to people aware of that scene has failed. Wait, the article does call it Space Disco.

I hear the Rundgren on your Myspace page Dominique for sure. Claire could be A Wizard, A True Star outtake.

leprechaun - loc-it-up

:D

man, mike bee, i'm just getting around to listening to your chillits mix and it's pretty fab. great selection, great mixing. very nice.

yeah more like mike A++++++!!!!

thanks you guys!!S i'm working on another one for the DC Recordings samurai.fm podcast that will be a bit, um, freakier. i'll let you know when it goes live...

balearic joy overload moment of the day/week/year: the period from 4:00 to 4:22 in rune linbaek's disco dub of montee's "i have seen the haven" (hint: see http://talkinginstereo.blogspot.com/2007/11/version-rune.html)

Essential Purchase: Kaoru Inoue - Secret Field

Even the name works perfectly! The original is this very slightly discoid wander through flickers of guitar and percussion, while Todd Terje gives a lovely remix that's like the very best stuff on the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas album.

very late to the party on this but i can't stop listening to "freefall" by a mountain of one. like spirit of eden-era talk talk in self-indulgent pink floyd fanboy mode or something. gorgeous! (i've also only heard the 1st ep)

Kaoru Inoue = Crue-L right?

the 2nd MofO ep is even better, but yeah its a pink floyd / weatherall rockout.

Does Coyote fit under this Balearic genre? I just heard a few of their tracks. "Pretty Wasted" is wonderful. As is "Crazy World"

yup

I know somebody mentioned them at some point

bingo

TOO HARD - AEROPLANE MIX on their myspace sounds pretty hot

Ah, I missed that above. Thanks

Too Hard (Aeroplane Remix)

wow that was hella fruity

anyone heard the Windsurf SENDIGI001 - WINDSURF EP? their lcd soundsystem remix is so so amazing. i want more like it.

Windsurf EP is well nice. Not heard the LCD remix though so not sure how it compares.

windsurf ep is great but mp3 only.

also check out hatchback - white diamond 12" with 17 minute PT remix

grady do you think could you re-up that mix you made if you get a chance??

finals week: worst week to "discover" balearic.

aeroplane remix of das pop's (?) "fool for love" on aeroplane's myspace is awes.

really dig the little villalobos-s breakdown at the end but that could be the original song idk.

-sy*

New Invisible Conga People track (on their myspace page) "Cable Dazed" is just brilliant - the equal of "Weird Pains", which is saying a lot. Eeerie synth patterns and close harmonies. Like Delia & Gavin being as good as they're supposed to be.

I'm hoping that Italians Do It Better get around to releasing these two tracks on two sides of a vinyl.

About invisible conga people:

first 12" out in february.

too long!!

xpost - the Windsurf tracks that are on that mp3-only release will be coming out on their EP on Internasjonal.

Sorceror's Ride the Serpent is awesome

there's a cool sorcerer b-side and rarities mega mixx here:

grady do you think could you re-up that mix you made if you get a chance??

oh shit just saw this. sure, if you still want it.

BONAR

"beat the bed" is pretty rad.

yeah please!

http://www.sendspace.com/file/2mte3g

that new aeroplane is a good 'un.

thx gr80

love the Bonar Bradberry, and loving the new Aeroplane too (though it's the dub that wins out over the original for me). did we talk about Cage & Aviary? i can't stop listening to "Television Train". anybody have any other info about them & future releases?

Oh my god Bonar Bradberry. "Beat The Bed" sounds like "Closer To God" in parts - love it! I want a whole compilation of stuff like this and Ronny & Renzo's "Big Smack & Flies": evil screwed synth-disco.

The Beatdown version is fabulous also.

did we talk about Cage & Aviary?

there was a little bit about Dissident on the beardo thread. very curious to hear some of that stuff.
