this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

OK theres vocals briefly at 4:06

dude there's something weird w/ this mp3 for real
i swear when i played it yesterday there were no vocals, and it last 5:38. Now its past 6:00 and there are vocals

WHATS GOING ON

i feel like when i was a kid and someone put those candles that don't blow out on my cake

i think i've figured out that what happens is no matter where i skip ahead on the progress bar the song isn't actually skipping ahead

yeah basically anytime i try to skip ahead in the song it pretends it has skipped ahead in the program but the mp3 itself doesnt skip, so every time i listened around 2:20 or wherever else it was still playing it from the beginning thus giving me the impression i had a 6 min. long instrumental reminiscent of 'lucky star'

ok wtf is up w/ richie havens singing "its not black, its not white!" in 'back to my roots'? sounds really funny for some reason, like he's explaining why he can cover lamont dozier's song

Technical question re: iTunes and track lengths

Oh wait, not the same thing, never mind.

yeah deej i think its a corrupted file or something

hook me up

when i get home from work i will UL
also im not positive but i think i have a longer version of 'city lights' too

i listened to "state of independence" about 34598340954 times on the way to work today

amazed "elle et moi" isn't on that top 25 list

kind of amazed that sebastien tellier is

i think that song is pretty good...until he starts singing

oh i like the song a lot, and the singing, it just seems really out of place

what other slightly silly "balearic" songs should I be playing at my projected b'day party in may? apart from "Stop Bajon" and "Like an Eagle" and "Life In A Northern Town" and the Larry Levan edit of "Maneater" and "Midnight Man" and "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes" and "Stranger in the City"...?

that mix looks great!

R-Tyme R-Theme (2:35)

only 2 and a half minutes of this tho is criminal!

Deej, congrats on becoming the latest test subject in a study that attempts to clinically prove that MP3s cause listener apathy ;)

4:08 version of "Why"

i'm uploading the full length version of 'city lights' too - its actually like over 5 mins long! max's version is only 3:30 or something

http://www.zshare.net/audio/8657700a1024da/

city nights extended

ha. i was just coming here to post how 'why ?' is such a seriously amazing track. truly infectious.

Here's an updated version of Max's comp from above with the whole of the DJ History top 25 Balearic in it. Some of the versions of Max's stuff I've upgraded. E2-E4 is in there but as the 5 min edit version.

It all looks a bit of a mess in the folder coz I got bits from here and there but it should all be tagged nicely for itunes etc.

I have a lot to do today so I've done this as displacement activity.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/97cnaj

does that include the extended versions of the songs i posted or no?

I think so. Coz I would have added them to the folder at the time.

Fuck. The City Lights is still the short version.

tnks patrick

Does anyone have Elton John's "Are You Ready For Love?"

No one seems to have mentioned Tears For Fears b-side/side-project "Johnny Panic and The Bible of Dreams". Balearic as fuck.

i picked up the Sueño Latino 1991 Remix 12" and was playing it at home and wifee asked i take it off because it was too "flutey and patooty".

granted i was playing it at 33 instead of 45 and the flutes do start to sound pretty Enigma-y

embrace the enigma

there is definitely a line that i am willing to cross where it comes w/ this stuff that most of my friends arent

i bought the Donna Summers "State of Independence" 7" a long time ago and kinda threw it off to the side not really feeling it, but after hearing it in the context of the rest of these balearic tracks, i really really like it.
