This Sotofett EP fro earlier in the year is well worth a listen

chilled piano track

CFCF "Rain Dance"

After a healthy slew of releases a few years back, Canadian softly-softly enthusiast Mike Silver's output quietened down a bit. That relative hibernation is now thankfully over, with two separate full-length projects due out over the summer. It's like what they say about (night) buses, etc etc. Having talked up his fondness for timbral delicateness for a while now – not to mention outright tipping the hat to Ryuichi Sakamoto and Laraaji in recent press releases – it's good to see him go whole hog on The Colours of Life.

The piece is 40 minutes of unbroken fourth world-y bliss, gorgeous vistas of sound sketched with the lightest of touches. Intended to be heard whole, we've pulled the fifth phase out here for closer inspection, but it could have just as easily been "Melting The Ice", "Imagination" or any of the other composite parts. You'll have to wait until August 14th for the full release – and could there be any label more fitting to do the honours than 1080p? No, no there couldn't.

Hey y'all - here's a new ep I just put up on Bandcamp. I aimed for Comic Beach Music. Maybe some of you will like it?

really enjoying this groovy instrumental track

BAILE - Down
https://soundcloud.com/color-station/baile-down

infectious, quirky uptempo rhythmic / tropical pop track

Gilligan Moss - Choreograph
https://soundcloud.com/gilligan-moss/choreograph-1

this track first surfaced in october 2013, but at last gets an official release in June 2015

Another great Julian Horn mix.

https://soundcloud.com/esters-1/julian-horn-for-esters-12

Anyone know the tune at 1 hour and 6 minutes?

feels like the day for some Balearica here in London

what with it being hot and all

some Balearica, and a nice cooling drink

xxxp loving that julian horn mix!

also esters was my favourite london cafe so <3 <3

that song i asked about id'ing is amazing - just listening to it now.

it's well worth checking out julian horn's other mixes. great dj. i am keen to give esters a go - i find it cool they are doing such a low key mix series just because.

this stuart daly mix is good - some stuff like kate bush and destroyer among more folky balearic things.

Do you mean the one before Lani Hall?

It's this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iikSVgXBS8c

yeah that's the one, thanks. incredible that that's from 78 - those huge synth washes at the end!

The whole album's on Spotify and is worth a listen. Usually sells for around £50.

Magik Sunset Part 2 now available to pre-order.

Preview mini-mix here:

https://soundcloud.com/the-dream-chimney/mix-of-the-week-73-jupiter-juno-sunbathing-sciences

prob posting dream chimney here every week but this one is a diff twist - jazzier and a bit more psychedelic. cool edit of paul simon near the end. at least i assume it's an edit.

i've found gold with this track:

Evvol - Four Steps From Home
https://open.spotify.com/track/03JdgUbGGdOkAQybKq4Y7w
atmospheric dreamy electronic pop, that has a italo-disco vibe, absolutely astonishing track with sparkling synths.

more jamie tiller - just leaving this here

loving the jupiter & juno mix btw

^^^^ yah this is beautiful

Loving the new Mark Barrott

anyone know the tune at 23 minutes in that jamie tiller mix? i've heard it in several other mixes, it sounds pretty classic.

Was just coming here to post the Jupiter/Juno, can't stop listening to that one.

(Paul Simon not an edit, just "Can't Run But", always a powerful reminder to not sleep on Rhythm of the Saints)

dunno if it's just my listening habits but i can't believe how much good stuff in this vein is around lately, as my repeated posts itt might revesl

this gets pretty Balearic and is great

There are now 3 GBP per month subscriptions on Claremont 56's bandcamp - they just posted an unreleased Sal P mix and will be posting new stuff starting this weekend:

"I'm going to start doing some strip down dubs of some of the Claremont 56 catalogue which will be exclusive to you lovely subscribers."

https://claremont56.bandcamp.com

Magik Sunset Part 2 turned up in the post this weekend.

Ace as expected although seems heavier on the spaced out instrumentals this time around (not that that's a bad thing)

The new Jonny Nash EP Exit Strategies is wonderful.

anyone know the tune at 47 mins in this?

https://soundcloud.com/the-dream-chimney/mix-of-the-week-77-grabosky-night-trippin

btw this is a really great mix, deep nocturnal disco

cfcf album is really nice - if you liked the mark barrott record you would definitely enjoy it i think

will check that one out.

thank you for posting on the balearic thread, please come again.

ha, i think my energy levels are at about 2% right now, i'm sure i would have made a less robotic post if my brain wasn't bumbling along in energy-saving mode

no, i was just joking about the last two posts being me dumping mixes here!

I talked my friend into making an edit of Can't Run, But after hearing it in that mix posted upthread. Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/marshall_watson/cant-run-paul-simon-marshall-watson-edit

Got both CFCF albums yesterday. I knew Radiance & Submission was coming out but The Colours of Life was a complete surprise (and is my favourite of the two

https://1080pcollection.bandcamp.com/album/the-colours-of-life

oh i only know about the colours of life. was prompted to check it out by the boomkat update mentioning phil collins' "hand in hand" in the blurb, have always loved that song

working backwards now and listening to outside from 2013 - similar vibe to gigi masin's song stuff, it's good

not waking me up much though, that's for sure

Make sure to check out his mini-album Exercises. One of my favourite releases from the last few years. Definitely won't wake you up though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JDKUGoHiN8

i will do that for sure

The Colours of Life indeed a very pleasant surprise. His latest vocal albums (Outsiders & R&S, awesome artwork though on the latter) don't really appeal to me tbh, but this is a return to form. The River EP still his best imo, much in the same vein as TCOL, and apparently inspired from Fitzcarraldo.

I'm not so sure about the Werner Herzog connection with The River but there's one track that's def influenced by the Popul Vuh soundtrack. I'll rep for the Exercises EP as his peak so far but maybe that's because I slightly prefer his influences on that one (Sylvian, Sakamoto.) If you prefer Security-era Gabriel or Steve Reich, then your top pick will likely differ.

I'd agree that R&S is a vocal album in the same way that Another Green World is a vocal album. But it is a damn fine album for sunsets.
