lol "tunnel of love" is a pretty balearic album already
― max, Friday, 18 April 2008 14:37 (sixteen years ago) link
i like that bruce mix a lot, but the rest of that EP is pretty goofball. It also has "balearic" mixes of Neil Young's "Hey Hey My My" and Joanna Newsom "Book Of Right On", which mostly just throw some drum loops on top of the originals.

using 'i'm on fire' seemed kinda disappointingly obvious to me (which shows how big a deal context is to lots of this stuff).

id like to think todd terje is a step above deej from the internet
If you go to DJH where he posts tho', he becomes Terje from the internet.

New Aeroplane mix here. Haven't listened yet but the Still Going remix of the Force of Nature track is very very delicious.

The Ronny & Renzo mystery mix at DJ History is fabulous. Love their torpid-as-fuck vibe - really stands out I think, especially given how much balearic DJ aesthetics otherwise overlap. But I want to make them to make more of their own tracks. "Big Smack & Flies" and their remix of Mutron's "Alone" are so fantastic viscous and foreboding. They remind me of Depeche Mode's Ultra, in a really good way.
Weirdest, most wonderfully WTF moment of the mix: strangely brilliant bootleg of Kevin Lyttle's "Turn Me On" with Radiohead's "Everything In It's Right Place".

its only like 2 mins longer. the breakdown/build in the middle is just a little more stretched out, iirc. maybe the intro is a little longer too.
anyway, the LP version is still gangsta, hence only 2 >'s inbetween it and the LP version :)
dont fuck w/ the 7" version its too short.

Grrr.
The weird version of Kevin Lyttle's "Turn Me On" is by Different Gear of all people!
Meanwhile, I sourced a downloadable standalone copy of Sally Oldfield's "Hide and Seek" (as included in that Studio DJ mix) here.

Now that's what I call Balearic...
The sound of 80s Ibiza is making a comeback. It's so uplifting it has the power to render Phil Collins enjoyable

― max, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 19:18 (fifteen years ago) link
actually maybe i dont. one of my favorite things about taking all these tracks and calling them 'balearic' is that it provides a framework for people to be "ok" with listening to collins and chris rea and whoever else. any complaining about it just becomes "oh they only listen to it IRONICALLY while i listen to phil collins AUTHENTICALLY" which is just a non-starter
― max, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 19:22 (fifteen years ago) link
still i get annoyed with the idea that any of these guys are ONLY enjoyable or worthwhile in a balearic context
