this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

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.

new track

Tempelhof & Gigi Masin - Tuvalu

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HpdPjmV2xA

I got 2 things from Len Leise, Vito Ricci and Paki/Visnadi after listening to stuff on the Test Pressing list. Still working through it all though.

Probably going to buy the Max Richter too but I've enjoyed having that on Spotify to listen to beside my bed as I fall asleep.

want to echo the love for the test pressing lists. that music for dreams comp is incredible

that label has always put out good stuff - i remember selling their 12s and cd compilations about 10 years ago - cool that they are still going.

thought this track and album was cool, tho maybe more house and techno bobbins than balearic...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8UWDz5DH1s

the lnrdcroy album has popped up in the bobbins thread and the rolling techno albums doing it wrong thread or w/e it's called. it was one of my fav albums of 2014 and one of my fav 1080p albums. man, 1080p had such a great 2015, mind-blowing really, the breadth of what they put out and the quality. vancouver bc canada is just killing it as they say.

1080p just has the worst aesthetic sense so i kinda avoid stuff they put out

i have no idea what that means

http://www.discogs.com/Project-Pablo-I-Want-To-Believe/master/832313
http://www.discogs.com/Junior-Loves-Scientific-Dreamz-Of-U-The-Dreamcode/release/6895227
http://www.discogs.com/Keita-Sano-Holding-New-Cards/master/934399
http://www.discogs.com/Journeymann-Trax-Smoke-Tape/release/7082172
http://www.discogs.com/CFCF-The-Colours-Of-Life/master/911255

these are all pretty essential

their album art and branding is on some dopey middle-aged creative trash fit so i just havent listened to much of the stuff they put out. im listening to the project pablo release rn and its pretty good

admittedly its a stupid reason not to listen to stuff but theres already so much music and it was really off-putting

All those ones listed are great, but this was my most listened to 1080p last year (maybe just cos it came out early on):
https://1080pcollection.bandcamp.com/album/lawd-forgive-me

there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of aesthetic coherence between releases, that's why i didn't really know what you meant. i assumed it was up to the artist.

Another new CFCF album coming next month, this time on International Feel and described as "one of the most beautiful things we've signed"

http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=32860

this lullabies for insomniacs mix on red light radio is cool - kinda darker and only loosely balearic i guess, but fits best here:

https://soundcloud.com/lullabiesforinsomniacs/lullabies-for-insomniacs-02-redlight-radio-1912

also apropos of nothing, been listening to this bohren und der club of gore track a lot lately:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NDbXmAIKEQ

feels like the point where balearic meets goth - if anyone wants to point me towards more things like this, that'd be good.

nice track but I would call this more chillout than anything... maybe check out the Late Night Tales After Dark mixes.

First snippet from the new CFCF album:

jesus, what did I ever do to you?

sorry, very classy chillout ;)
