this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

yeah, the cantoma album is pretty good.

'nomalizo' is one of my all time favs.

makes sense u bros were already up on mdulu. really into her. another youtube find: sonya spence 'let the love flow on' (via youtube mix for pavement's 'shady lane' lol)

yeah that is a beautiful record

weirdly i've heard both of those for the first time in the last year through totally different routes to you, the mbulu was in a mix by some guy with 100 followers or so i found on soundcloud, and the sonya spence is in one of the old sorcerer mixes (all worth downloading).

it's quite poppy and he plays the odd shit tune but that might be the actual reason i've been enjoying kenneth bager from music for dreams doing his radio show from ibiza: https://soundcloud.com/music-for-dreams/kenneth-bager-music-for-75

his between-song chat is almost exactly the same and kind of cute/hilarious, he has a lot of monotone catchphrases, but mostly the music just makes me want to be high and dancing barefoot. good place to hear new things too.

this week's that i just posted is particularly shit in the middle tbh - some awful uptempo stuff. but maybe wade through and find what you can find.

I know my only contribution to this thread is the odd link... so here's another one!

letta mbulu has a long and varied career. some of her early records are slick south african soul and are pretty good.... there are some later ones that seem a little too schlocky to me at first listen.

the youtube playlist algorithms have been getting pretty good, haven't they? sometimes they fail bigtime (mostly by being too predictable), but other times they turn up all kinds of pleasant surprises.

that list looks great neil, thanks.

I'm actually going to a music festival in Bilbao tomorrow, and this list is definitely getting me in the mood

not really feeling the vocals on that Cantoma album.

The new Tusk Wax 21 by Ali Renault is more house than balearic but definitely worth a listen. https://www.pbvinyl.com/products/ali-renault-tusk-wax-21

New Smith & Mudd arrived in the post today, so looking forward to listening to that in a bit

Sketches from an Island 2 is so good.

William Tyler maybe relevant to this thread?

I'm really looking forward to the new Seahawks LP that's out at the end of the month. The remix album that came out last year is a hidden gem.

The remix album: https://bleep.com/release/62661-seahawks-deep-haul

that william tyler is beautiful, thanks for that. reminds me a bit of the michael rother record, gone a little more country.

I'm not really getting a balearic vibe from this William Tyler album, but it is nice.

ditto

not sure if its exactly this thread for it but the dudes in tommy awards have a new-ish tape out called 'sessions II' that i think is fantastic. its on the more cosmic end of balearic but its probably my favorite new thing so far this year

Think it may have been brought up in the new age thread? i remember reading about it on here. great tape though. the Origin People label & folks running it are great.

It was mentioned upthread. Tommy Awards are a perfect fit for this thread

i thought some of william tyler was kinda like michael rother or goettsching a tiny bit, but probably not perfectly at home itt.

yeah i thought this was the thread we talked about katzenmusik but apparently not

It was mentioned upthread

owned :/

Smith & Mudd album is ace.

Dogwood is such a fucking jam.

is this thread ok to post about 'vintage' balearic reissues? vintage downtempo/funky new age?

- how did i miss last year's Leon Lowman 2-fer (on Vinyl On Demand)?

- also missed Computer Incantations For W

whoops

3. Jazzanova - "Introspection" (Calm Outerspect mix)
4. Mode IQ - "Competition"

Mix of old and new on that one, I guess. Was hoping for another all vintage set.

Feels like we already have a year's worth of top shelf albums with Baltic Beat, Smith & Mudd and Mark Barrott.

RA rips the CFCF remix EP but they are right about the Pharaohs "Pleasure Centre" remix being a good one. https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/19356

really feeling the wolf muller and cass record, this lengthy track is the centrepiece i guess.

Could not agree with this more. I keep returning to that Baltic Beat record and it keeps sounding better and better. Love that one. The title track is the stand out, but the second side is nearly as good.

Also, that Quiet Village remix comp is so killer. That Francois K remix is probably my fave.

Latest 12" from Music From Memory

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC2sCOiCgf4

http://www.musicfrommemory.com/product/the-system-the-system-ep

Just ordered the Smith & Mudd and Baltic Beat. Expecting them to soundtrack the end of summer.

I'm also digging that Baltic Beat album. Just got "Vito Ricci - I was Crossing a Bridge" on Music From Memory... https://www.discogs.com/Vito-Ricci-I-Was-Crossing-A-Bridge/release/6946911

Suso Sáiz – Odisea (also on Music From Memory) is another great piece worth investigating...https://www.discogs.com/Suso-Sáiz-Odisea/release/8537045

And last but certainly not least, I've really been enjoying Darwis by Parra for Cuva & Senoy...It's not exactly Balearic, but maybe your tastes are more diverse and this is stuff that deserves to be heard..."Sacred Feathers", the lead track on the album", gets me every time...https://www.discogs.com/Parra-For-Cuva-Senoy-Darwiš/release/8583467

I basically just listened to those two, Sketches 2 and Wilson Tanner on a continuous loop on my recent holiday to Southern France xp

that the system track is amazing. wow.

also like the suso saiz record - i mean p much everything on international feel and music from memory is really good.

seems like a lot of these niche reissue labels are taking their cues from music-sharing blogs

i've been noticing this for over a decade... a blog sharing obscure music shares some obscure, semi-forgotten album, and some time later it's given a boutique reissue. although now the time lag seems be to getting shorter. that system album was shared on a prominent blog about a year and a half ago.

Been playing Wilson Tanner and Sketches 2 a ton myself. Just drove down the coast of Vancouver Island listening to Sketches 2. Probably an experience I'll never forget.

Mark Barrott's wikipedia entry is pretty good.
