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

jesus, what did I ever do to you?

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 19:05 (eight years ago) link

sorry, very classy chillout ;)

ain't no revival (it's from 1983) but i thought a lot of you might get a kick out of this great brazilian proggy jazz record:

feels like the point where balearic meets goth

i would have told you that balearic and goth seem like attitudinal opposites

except that this exists, and is good: http://www.discogs.com/Cure-The-Balearic-Sound-Of-The-Cure/release/3592148

xp that remix of "Close to Me" must have been a Cafe Del Mar standard right?

The Male Gaz Coombes (Neil S), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 08:47 (eight years ago) link

there are loads of remixes of the cure from that era - can remember a lot of bootlegs of them when i worked in a record store...

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 09:32 (eight years ago) link

yeah they kind of got co-opted into baggy/acid house didn't they

The Male Gaz Coombes (Neil S), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 09:33 (eight years ago) link

Lullaby is the obvious Balearic one but this is one of my favourites. Anyone any idea where it's from as it's not the 12" version which is just under six minutes? Think it might just be an edit someone's done

groovypanda, Wednesday, 13 January 2016 10:08 (eight years ago) link

there was a cool mix of "the walk" that a friend used to have a bootleg of - googling just gives me loads of horrendous recent attempts though

Regarding The Cure many of the remixes are on the 1990 album Mixed Up album (that I remember buying during the first term of my final year at Uni)

Mixed Up (The Cure album)

djmartian, Thursday, 14 January 2016 00:12 (eight years ago) link

only half of the mixes on Mixed Up (just five on CD!) were previously released. The Walk and A Forest were completely new recordings,as Polygram had lost the master tapes. (This is why Smith later recorded a new version with Blank & Jones, too - they'd just sought permission to do a remix for their '80s series.)

someone upthread referred to mark barrott's pilates album, which is on Spotify FYI. listening now, definitely more on the new age tip but really great.it's Mark Barrott & Michael Conn, "Inner Harmony".

nomar, Sunday, 17 January 2016 18:59 (eight years ago) link

1080p does rule!

the late great, Monday, 18 January 2016 00:23 (eight years ago) link

i really dig most of the Ptaki album, but nothing compares to "warsaw", imo (it appears on the CD version of Przelot and was previously on this ep)

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

lute bro (brimstead), Monday, 18 January 2016 01:29 (eight years ago) link

i like 1080p but sound pellegrino is my lo-fi techno label of choice

flopson, Monday, 18 January 2016 01:50 (eight years ago) link

actually 1080p's hairy catalogue would benefit from making nice compilations like the snd.pe series

flopson, Monday, 18 January 2016 01:54 (eight years ago) link

'warsaw' is so good, played the shit out of that track over the past year or two

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 20 January 2016 07:50 (eight years ago) link

Would this count as balearic revival?

Whitney - No Woman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGKN6qiDqnk

The voice is sort of 'indie' but the arrangements sound kind of yacht rock/balearic for me.

New Moonboots chart. Always worth investigating.

http://www.juno.co.uk/charts/dj/754690-Moonboots/1772467-Chart/

The Dane Taylor record is ace so looking forward to hearing the Leo Mas remix

groovypanda, Wednesday, 3 February 2016 09:47 (eight years ago) link

after successive listens, i'm loving the ptaki album more and more. i'm not even sure "warsaw" is my favorite track anymore!

lute bro (brimstead), Wednesday, 3 February 2016 20:10 (eight years ago) link

so are y'all listening to that suso saiz thing (or the excerpts that music from memory have posted?)

i guess i get bragging rights for having discovered his records before the announcement that his work would be issued for the first time in america. or something. it's easy to be a few steps ahead these days.

anyway, this thread moves too fast! too much to listen to.

Blimey. Forgot all about Fontan. It's been a while since Winterhwila

groovypanda, Wednesday, 10 February 2016 09:54 (eight years ago) link

The No Zu album is really great in a Gang Gang Dance meets Jungle Wonz kinda way. I'm very pleased that "Raw Vision" (the only track I knew previously) is the most conservative / retro-familiar tune here.

damn, cfcf is on a fuckin roll. check out the new one if you haven't already, why hasn't anyone else been mining the penguin cafe orchestra end of the balearic spectrum like this

he's so prolific! haven't heard the new one yet, but he seems to be getting better and better.

was this remix especially formatted for generation x ilxors? aural aesthetics in action

guess this is kinda disco and even a bit of house, but probably belongs here. really nice four-hour mix from tako reyenga and rts

what's the tune at 9 minutes in the moonboots mix? i can sort of guess who it might be but it's amazing, when the bassline came in i felt like i was watching andy carroll in his heyday.
