the feist cover is pretty good imo

ya, better than the original, which gets a bit too schmaltzy for me, but no where close to the edit

Unfortunate title notwithstanding, Peter Visti's "Night Night Balearic Monster" is a worthy follow-up to "Flight Over Tokyo". Similar intense driving feel to it.
― Tim F, Friday, 8 May 2009 08:37 (fourteen years ago) link
WTF that's a great title.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Friday, 8 May 2009 08:57 (fourteen years ago) link
calling a track 'late nite balearic monster' does seem like pandering to the audience somewhat
― juniper jazz (haitch), Friday, 8 May 2009 08:59 (fourteen years ago) link
oh i was hoping it was actuallly "night night, balearic monster"
looking fwd to listening to this, love his other mixes
― anger is an allergy (braveclub), Friday, 8 May 2009 09:04 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry, yeah, it's "Late Night Balearic Monster". "Night Night Balearic Monster" would be amazing.

guys i didn't mean to ruin it!!!
on a happier note, henrik schwarz on beats in space played a fantastic remix of something by 'visti & meyland', i assume that's our man, check it out because it's good.
― juniper jazz (haitch), Friday, 8 May 2009 11:06 (fourteen years ago) link
visti/meyland used to put stuff out on Music for Dreams before Visti found Eskimo...

ive got this harvey mix on my computer, the one that starts with beach boys "our prayer" is that the sarcastic disco mix? it's badly labelled. And correct labelling is a big thing with me.

the first track is great but i couldnt get into the rest quite as much. i'll definitely give the rest a fair shot

so since this thread is about the balearic revival are no oldish balearic tunes in this thread appreciated ? i've been sitting on quite a few songs and have been unsure about posting them, is there another thread for this ?
― oscar, Sunday, 17 May 2009 01:00 (fourteen years ago) link
don't think the 'revival' is restricted to 'nu-balearica'. a revival in general interest, i would say. have at it!

hah, I knew I saw it somewhere! But I think I saw the vid, did you post the youtube clip somewhere? Or is it just that balearic revival zeitgeist?
― dan selzer, Sunday, 17 May 2009 05:04 (fourteen years ago) link
i know the last thing we need is another thread with 'balearic' in the title but is there seriously no thread dedicated only to the older stuff? i'd love more recommendations, am always in search of vintage mixtapes, etc
― i am the eye in the sky... (psychgawsple), Sunday, 17 May 2009 05:12 (fourteen years ago) link
you can always start a thread called "this is the thread for the BALEARIC RETROSPECTIVE"
― dan selzer, Sunday, 17 May 2009 06:13 (fourteen years ago) link
just need to reiterate how amazing and evocative the meanderthals album is - def the best of the recent crop of balearic albums imo. 'lasaron highway' is just perfect
― lex pretend, Sunday, 17 May 2009 08:55 (fourteen years ago) link
I like this album too, it's on the more meditative side of this stuff, it reminds me a bit of Talk Talk which is obv a good thing.

BTW for Spotify users, Cosmic Disco have put together a large playlist of cosmic/ balearic stuff:http://open.spotify.com/user/cosmicdisco/playlist/59MRyu1At7vp39Cw3WE7wD

i've been wondering what track this is for some days. i heard in 2 or 3 mixes so it must be easy. it's got vocal that sounds like rufus wainwright, singing "and the sun got its blue" or something. anyone knows?

Supermayer "Lost In Tiergarten" remix of Tiergarten by Rufus?

@ Ant
Have you got any good recommendations for download from that emusic site?
Bit late replying to this... But - related to this thread - try the stuff on BearFunk, Tirk, Smalltown Supersound and Permanant Vacation - the one down side of emusic is that its really hard to find and share stuff. You can search by label though, which helps. You can search for specific remixers and then hope that their names are in the track titles too - lots of idjut/lindstrom etc stuff on their.
The Max Essa Album on bearfunk might be a good place to start.

d/ling that Milky Disco mix, the first one was great and the Hatchback album is good too. Summer vibes!

That Milky Disco comp sounds like it could be great but eMusic not taking Maestro is bullshit.

― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 22 May 2009 03:50 (fourteen years ago) link
the schwarz remix was on his recent BIS mix, it's good, not rly balearic tho?
― jesus is the man (jabba hands), Friday, 22 May 2009 05:13 (fourteen years ago) link
listening to that milky disco comp for the first time and wtf version of "pissed and passed out" is that? totally sucks like 99% of the fun out of the "original tempo" version on the 12"- the drums sound muted, the build comes too quickly, it's 3 minutes shorter, there are added (misplaced, imo) synths, and no jodorowsky sample in sight.
maybe this version will grow on me but "pissed and passed out" was one of my favorite tracks last year and it's totally lame that when it finally gets released on a widely-distributed comp they use this neutered remix business

Belatedly announcing that the Meanderthals record is amazing. Love the eerie end of the world synth sweeps they drape over everything. Kind of wish the backing music for A Mountain of One sounded more like this.
