but i am really enjoying the new riton album - eine kleine nacht musik.
this album still works for me, certainly a lot more than the usual riton groove ..
time he made a follow up to this.

Updating to say that after having the LP for a month or so, and listening on Spotify a bunch, this Horsebeach album is def. hitting the top 3 in my Album of the Year list.

other important updates: saw young marco dj in philly a couple weeks ago, incredibly fun, did not disappoint, super posi vibes
gigi masin anthology talk to the sea does not get old, vying with young marco lp for my favorite release of the year
new tornado wallace track feat. jonny nash is awesome, studio-esque feel, a guy made a video for it: http://vimeo.com/106549031
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 22 October 2014 21:25 (nine years ago) link

posted about andras fox in the 'house with new age signifiers' (or w/e it's called) thread to no avail

I've listened to a lot of Andras Fox this year - he's released a load of stuff in a pretty short time.
This came out last week:

thx for Tornado Wallace ref, Circadia EP is excellent.
And indeed surprisingly familiar Studio vibes at times.

There's some great albums on Picadilly Records' Compilations of 2014 list, many of which tick the Balearic box:

― groovypanda, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 08:14 (nine years ago) link
Couple of pretty awesome comps by Kenneth Bager up on Spotify: Music for Dreams and Balearic Biscuits. Mostly really new stuff - Mark Barrot, an Italian Roisin Murphy jam, Javier Bergia.
Javier Bergia - Eclipse is a proper album, right? Diggin it.
― Yoga Knives (Whitey on the Moon), Friday, 5 December 2014 01:51 (nine years ago) link
yeah, i highly appreciate the rec i am fucking loving javier bergia
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Friday, 5 December 2014 03:12 (nine years ago) link
Thought it was a retrospective comp? If that's what you mean by "proper album"...
― death in Skegness (seandalai), Friday, 5 December 2014 09:46 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, it's basically a Best Of put together by Emotional Rescue
― groovypanda, Friday, 5 December 2014 10:58 (nine years ago) link
I've been listening to this tune a lot lately, wondering if it could be classified as "balearic" (a term I still don't fully understand)

the gaussian curve album is out btw and it's fantastic, anyone into the gigi masin comp should love it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cM3QrFmgqo
Fourth Music from Memory release consisting of Gigi Masin, Young Marco and Jonny Nash, recorded during a three-day recording session in Amsterdam.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:12 (nine years ago) link
i fucking miss air france
― soyrev, Friday, 9 January 2015 19:08 (nine years ago) link
I second the praise for Gaussian Curve. Very good album. Feels a bit short, don't know the actual run time, but I wonder if they have extra material that didn't make this album.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 9 January 2015 19:09 (nine years ago) link
"impossible island" is gorgeous wow. is that record only out on lp?
― dyl, Friday, 9 January 2015 19:49 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, the GC album is available only on lp at this time. But it's encouraging to see that the Gigi Masin and Joan Bibiloni comps are reappearing as expanded CD editions.
― doug watson, Friday, 9 January 2015 19:59 (nine years ago) link
Picked up the reissue of Balmorhea's debut release. Recommended
