this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

Thought it was a retrospective comp? If that's what you mean by "proper album"...

Yeah, it's basically a Best Of put together by Emotional Rescue

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

Fourth Music from Memory release consisting of Gigi Masin, Young Marco and Jonny Nash, recorded during a three-day recording session in Amsterdam.

i fucking miss air france

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.

"impossible island" is gorgeous wow. is that record only out on lp?

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.

Picked up the reissue of Balmorhea's debut release. Recommended

sweet, hoping to see his last one on the ILM albums of 2014 run-down...

that track is really nice :) it's like 23-24 mins into the linked mix btw

Lots of jams: http://www.djhistory.com/features/the-furtive-50-2014

does feel really short, but it is brilliant.

i really like this basso mix - dunno if any of you listen to his mixes but they are good:

New Horsebeach EP:

https://horsebeach.bandcamp.com/album/disappear

the latest dream chimney mix is really good too - starts off with a lot of jazz, then more balearic as it goes on:

https://soundcloud.com/the-dream-chimney/mix-of-the-week-julian-horn

btw if anyone knows the very long jazz track at 56 mins in that julian horn mix - that'd be cool

lonnie liston smith? sounds like his brother on vocals anyway.

that's what i thought - it turns out it's this, which i don't think is his brother based on discogs. amazing record!

ha awesome. figures it would be some random war bside from 1983. god i do love the whole psychmagick-style psychodelic homemade funky synthetic direction.

also a gigi masin dj mix here:

https://soundcloud.com/soulectronicradio/soulectronic-radio-show-3-ruf-dug

this mix is really good - anyone know the track before laurie anderson at about 20 mins is?

if not i'll just keep blogging here.

i know i've heard it before, but i can't put my finger on it. really enjoying all the mixes you're posting ITT LG, just takes me a while to get to them.

not sure if there's anyone who only reads this thread but not bobbins, but the vakula album definitely gets into some heavy balearic and new age vibes, and it's pretty much excellent all the way through.

ah yes, i'm just joking about blogging - just good to place things here now and again, my job at the moment allows a lot of listening to music - there is a process where some things don't make the grade for the effort of a copy and paste here, quality control still exists.

Was laughing my head off when the Vakula album goes full-on Santana / Bongo Brothers / Ozric Tentacles(!) Great sound. There's actually only one House per-se track on it (which works great as an early build up) and I wonder if people will miss it if they're expecting more of that sort of thing. It's a proper ludicrous space-rock / cosmic disco epic as they used to be made. Almost reminds me of AR & Machines' Echo or something, with that artwork as well. Very Orbular on a couple of tracks as well. Probably makes more sense on CD but I want the triple gatefold just because that's the proper way to do these things isn't it.

anyone know the tune at about 20 mins in this?

quite an old mix but it's been in my soundcloud likes for quite a while...

damn i wish i knew now too

what a hauntingly gorgeous song

it is amazing

i even tried transcribing the lyrics and googling them, to no avail

seagulls winging their way and soaring
spending their life just drifting
drifting their way to nowhere
ripples laughing and gay and gentle
dancing away their lifetime
winding their way to nowhere
drifting like a bird i'm drifting
like a ripple on a stream
like a clown dressed in a dream
going nowhere
raindrops falling from skies so stormy
kissing the earth before me
die in their paths to nowhere
breezes blowing the leaves of autumn
leaves in a world forgotten
singing their songs to no one
no time no where
love me take me in your arms and keep me there
i haven't loved in so long
and everything seems so wrong
and nothings going no where, no time, no way
nowhere nowhere nowhere
love me
take me in your arms and keep me there
i haven't loved in so long
and everything seems so wrong
and nothings going nowhere
nowhere nowhere nowhere

i'm sure that's not 100% correct

i found the dj on twitter and asked - will let you know if i hear back, his account isn't updated that recently.

Reminds me of David Sylvian crossed with Louis.

definitely canon nipplecore whatever it is

I'm friends on FB with some of the Seekmagic guys. I'll see if any of them know anything

Hi guys, I asked him via email and got a very friendly reply - the track is "Nowhere" by Cy Timmons.
His latest mix can be found here: http://racketracket.co.uk/music/october-moonglow/

Nice

Yeah was hammering that Moonglow mix last year.

There's another great track at 20 minutes on that one (The Island?)

nice work, willem. the track after it is great too - that eden rock mix generally is really good.

instigated by you reaching out to him, ronan, so thank you, really. mostly for posting the link to the mix in the first place :-)
