this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

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.

WTF that's a great title.

calling a track 'late nite balearic monster' does seem like pandering to the audience somewhat

oh i was hoping it was actuallly "night night, balearic monster"

looking fwd to listening to this, love his other mixes

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.

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.

yeah

just found out meanderthals is idjuts + rune lindbaek?!?

how can this NOT be the best balearic album ever?!?

xpost: it's sarcastic disco vol 2

meanderthals is pretty damn great imo

collective fetish is the jam

That's this disc, yes?

it is some kind of awesome

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 ?

don't think the 'revival' is restricted to 'nu-balearica'. a revival in general interest, i would say. have at it!

argh www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk86vFtzz6o&feature=player_embedded

i just posted that track last week :D

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?

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

you can always start a thread called "this is the thread for the BALEARIC RETROSPECTIVE"

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

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:

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?

That Spotify playlist already doesn't work for me :(

spotify:user:cosmicdisco:playlist:59MRyu1At7vp39Cw3WE7wD

Any better?

Nope, it doesn't appear to exist.

@durrrrr: http://www.imeem.com/people/208v1Hw/music/FpYqbAn7/rufus-wainwright-tiergarten-supermayer-remix/

playlist working for me

Spotify playlists are annoyingly flaky.

Yeah, what the hell was I thinking. If it sounded like Rufus then hello, maybe it WAS Rufus.

xpost-- i guess there IS this thread for older balearic faves

@ 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.

Some more emusic goodness

^^ q&a i did w/ rune lindbaek for all who r interested

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.

anyone heard this? http://www.discogs.com/release/1777118

looks interesting.

the schwarz remix was on his recent BIS mix, it's good, not rly balearic tho?

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

here's the superior version for those who don't have it

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.

asian inspired chiiiiiiiiilllled out balearic

God, I really need to be at this event - it looks like pretty much the most fun thing ever.
