this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

this is good - bit of goettsching at the start then more into house later. tho tbh you could prob just listen to red light radio mixes and need little else:

1991 - so not really a revival

old simple minds b-sides that could be something off a gigi masin album:

the ptaki lp is so good, btw, i don't think it was ever mentioned in this thread

http://www.discogs.com/Ptaki-Przelot/release/7136099

yeah, that one is really good.

New Claremont 56 release today:
https://claremont56.bandcamp.com/album/arc-of-lark

oh nice

Also, Rothmans put out a 3-year anniversary mix: http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/mixes/rothmans-the-ransom-note-mix/

Had a good chuckle over this press release:
"Fresh from 1986 - and recently re-edited by John Talabot - documents do not get any more Balearic than this.... Spanish trio Ishinohana's debut album is rich in cosmic attitude."

Also have been playing this Spanish piano-house classic from 1989 a bunch lately

Raul Orellana - The Real Wild House (Wild Mix)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ6g2aZCv0o

thank you for that raul orellana reminder...that song is the best

gigi masin "talk to the sea" has been my most listened to ep recently...very downtempo, another M-M release

talk to the sea is a 2 x LP yo

and it really MADE SOME WAVES at ILM EOY time last year B)

That Ishinohana album is great btw.

indeed, one of my favorite discoveries this year

thank you for that raul orellana reminder...that song is the best

new to me, thanks for posting

a couple balearic-y things i loved this year:

discoverer - in collection
https://mjmjrecords.bandcamp.com/album/in-collection

d.k. - love on delivery
https://antinoterecordings.bandcamp.com/album/atn016-d-k-love-on-delivery

this is from last year but it's gorgeous:
A Vision Of Panorama - "Cascade (Beat Broker Dub"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQStLfSobWE

one of my favs this year:
Paraíso ‎– Teu Sorriso
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMWKNt_eXtg

love on delivery and a vision of a panorama are both great. really dig the cover art on that discoverer, will check it out

btw this came out this year, contains some of my fav balearic tracks in a long while, can't remember if it's been posted already:

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Collezione/release/7334471

Discoverer takes the Sorcerer template, removes the guitar, slows it down, just total bliss imo

And it's not exactly the remit of this thread, but I'm digging the Bermuda Triangle reissue (I think on rush hour?). Old school Italian deep house.

Didnt know it got reissued, vibraphone releases have been expensive recently so no surprise

oh cool I didn't realise there was a new Discoverer out

Test Pressing end of year review is out and contains lots that fit right in on this thread (and many that were mentioned here during the year)

http://testpressing.org/feature/the-2015-end-of-year-review/

nice! test pressing is the best

Sound Voyage / Golden Garuda & Super Molam - this is really fantastic

that was the first year-end list that really had me rushin', so much stuff i havent heard that i would like to. a little surprised that ive seen no mention of saine's 'small remedies' or 'voyage to arcturus' although i guess both a little more cosmic than balearic

Loved the Test Pressing lists. I've already ordered 3 LPs after previewing them on Spotify & Soundcloud.

Most importantly, "the newest piece of work from the trio's ongoing collaborative sessions also serves as the first glimpse into an album scheduled for Spring." Yes.

the most frustrating musical moment of the year for me is on cfcf's Rain Dance when the piano is building into this summer downpour greek gods beach party and just when its about to really kick into high gear and all the paired off deities are going to score some stoner in the corner (eris?) plays her little deflating bamboo pipes refrain and everyone goes back to hands off

Reposting from other thread everyone ignored:

Loving this:

Universal Cave - Around the Bend

I suppose it's an edit of some old song but I can't find it.

That was one of my favourites from last year, off their rather good Soft Rock For Hard Times mix

http://www.aordisco.com/2014/08/around-bend-by-universal-cave.html

The new Music For Dreams compilation (by Moonboots) is great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UgiwfasUFY

some amazing stuff in that test pressing post.

been listening to the jacob gurevitsch album the last few days - really great.

honestly think the gurevitsch record is brilliant - like some dream world of hotel costes minus the shitty tracks

or i guess gotan project

universal cave love! awesome. very much a fan of all of their mixes tbh, the balearic social one is partic great and relevant to this thread

Loved the Test Pressing lists. I've already ordered 3 LPs after previewing them on Spotify & Soundcloud.

which 3 did you get? i am seriously buzzing with this test pressing list - it's like a whole year's worth of good music i didn't hear properly. i don't really keep my ear to the ground for lps, in some cases i'd heard tracks off these on soundcloud mixes, but as well as the jacob gourevitsch i'm so far really into steve hauschildt, len leise (heard a lot of this in diff mixes), jaako eino kalevi, and opez.

test pressing lists are the only one's i've seen that reflect my listening this year at all

The Bambi Davidson album is definitely going to be high up in my end of year ballot
