this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

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:

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.

any info on fontän, the swedish group with a 12" out on information in spring? only one of the members' names pull anything up on discogs, but probably not the same guy (early 90s death metal?)

+ studio's yearbook 2 coming in spring as well, according to the site

is yearbook 2 all new shit?

site just says "INFCD3 Yearbook 2 - Out in spring 08!" but it's probably collected remixes? there's a good list of the 'collaborations' on their myspace:

Shout Out Louds - Possible (Studio Version)
Rubies - A Room Without A Key (Studio Version)
Love is All - Turn The Radio Off (Remake by Studio)
A Mountain of One - Brown Piano (Remake by Studio)
Studio / Brennan Green - East Side & Escape From Chinatown
Kylie - 2 Hearts (Version by Studio)
Williams - Love On A Real Train (Version by Studio)
(what is that^^?)

probably should be in the studio thread

What the hell is "Escape From Chinatown"??

Also, has anyone heard the West Side 12 inch with "Part 1" and "Part 2"? Is it just an even longer version split into the two halves?

yo tim, how come Studio's album didn't come up higher on the pitchfork list? shame

Don't blame me, it was my number one choice!

yep, mine too. that list is totally corrupt.

"Escape From Chinatown" latest 12" on Brennan Green's Chinatown label. Both sides collabs btwn Green & Studio w/ Danny Wang. Really great 12".

Also, has anyone heard the West Side 12 inch with "Part 1" and "Part 2"? Is it just an even longer version split into the two halves?

the brennan green remix 12" is one-sided
the 7" has a pt1 and pt2 which are both done by studio.

i can leo if u want.

here is what Jay Vee is talking about:

http://www.discogs.com/release/1122822

i had no idea this existed.

If you haven't already, you need to download this Peter Visti DJ mix from 2-4 Hours - one of the best balearic mixes I've heard, perhaps the best, and I've heard a lot of Balearic DJ mixes this past twelve months.

As with (the reliably excellent) Phil Mison, Visti seems ultimately a bit housist - as lush and as dreamy and as sumptuous and as floaty and as swirly as this is, the kickdrum remains steady and the vibe is kinda tracky and anti-songful. The result is like an alternate deep house (not a million miles away from Henrik Schwarz, actually, although without the techy edge) - total flotation tank music.

best balearic mix I heard all year was from Balearic Mike.

this new dfa band Hercules and Love Affair sounds pretty balearicy

at least the song i'm listening to now "athene". pretty dubby and great

my bad if you guys have already talked about these dudes upthread

this gets better and better every time i listen

http://www.zshare.net/download/39203109ffc29b

hercules is more just straight up disco or disco house ... but yes great

talked about em a bit on the dfa thread, apparently there is a whole album coming

actually you're right, "athene" is pretty balearicy

the 12" on dfa (roar / classique #2) is a little different, more acid / chicago sounding

i just bought the 12'' off itunes (u_u) but i haven't listened to it yet.

the new single "blind" w/ antony has pretty balearic hand percussion and shimmery guitars but idk his voice makes it sound really campy and almost burlesque.

any info on the album??

actually "blind" leans more toward real showy disco (all trumpets and junk) but either way it's still kinda so-so

does anyone have a tracklist for the "paul and marc get high and go to the beach" mix, by any chance? still loving the shit out of this several months later

I think this is it

http://anothernightonearth.blogspot.com/search?q=paul+marc

1. Mudd - Speilplatz - Quiet Village Deep Space remix
2. Coyote - Pretty Wasted
3. Studio - Life's A Beach - Prins Thomas remix
4. Rune Linbaek - Afrika
5. Paul Simon - Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Feet - Todd Terje edit
6. Sylvester - I Need Somebody To Love
7. Chas Jankel - To Woo Lady Kong
8. Jo Jackson - Zenio
9. Andreas Vollenweider - Belladonna - Tangoterje Edit

11. Quiet Village - Too High To Move

any info on the album??

pretty long writeup here

http://www.dustedmagazine.com/features/702

I'm really enjoying the Peter Visti mix, Tim. Care to point me in the direction of mixes of similar style and quality.

here's another great peter visti dj mix for you.

I totally agree about Balearic Mike. He is a total dude.

Here is his set from Emergency Glasgow on April 8th 06.

PART 1 : http://media.emergency-music.org/audio/BM080406-A.mp3

PART 2 : http://media.emergency-music.org/audio/BM080406-B.mp3

Williams - Love On A Real Train (Version by Studio)
(what is that^^?)

Hoping it's a remix of a cover of the Tangerine Dream song from "Risky Business"?!

it is.

First time posting on this thread, but I've been checking out and loving the recommendations that people have linked to here, so props to everyone for spreading the balearic love. Following the Cosmic Disco link, I came across this listing of several different mixes - http://www.coolinthepool.com/radio.html. Anybody heard any of these? The track lists are all provided. There are entries from Visti, Aeroplane, Coyote, Mudd, etc etc.
