this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

That was posted in the italo rfi thread recently iirc.

Found it on my hardrive now in a folder called Loft Classics and dated 15 November 2016 so assume it was just after Mancuso died and everyone was posting their favourite tracks on FB

all the mixes you guys replied with have kept me going through a few weeks, thanks!

this drumtalk record is amazingly good imo

Didn't realise there was a new The Swan and The Lake album released earlier this year. Bit more minimal and new agey in parts but still very, very good

Loving this remix

I've wondered about this one for quite a while and up it pops with a 2017 reissue. I haven't heard the rest of the LP yet. Genre names are for the birds and insects but it can go here

Oh nice! I hope Polar Sequences gets reissued too.

"Bit more minimal and new agey in parts but still very, very good"

Yeah, this was a bit disappointing. You picked the best track to post above though!

Not sure how many followers of this thread also bookmark the New Age one but the Pauline Anna Strom compilation that seandalai posted is absolutely sublime

more balearic rock than straight dance music, but i'm seeing Yumi Zouma today in austin and i've been thinking about their balearic revival influences a lot recently (they did an homage to air france's last single as one of their first releases). so, so good, and their releases keep showing a bunch of growth.

(their label Cascine takes a lot of influence from Sincerely, Yours and the Gothenberg scene in general, so I end up following a bunch of their releases)

yes! I think I've mentioned Cascine before but they are basically keeping the Air France/Studio/Tough Alliance axis of 2007 balearic pop alive. How were YZ live? I am in a WhatsApp group they shared on their Facebook which the band members and tour manager are members of and it's been so frustrating hearing about this tour and them not actually coming to Scotland.

Wolf Müller & Niklas Wandt - Instrumentalmusik von der Mitte der World

The first few tracks on this are stellar, then it becomes a bit noodly for me. But still, buy buy buy!

so sick

Great mix from back in the day from Phil Mison

http://testpressing.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/461-PHIL-MISON-BACK.png

nice, love a bit of Mison and this is getting my week off to a mellow start

I had a five hour bus journey last week and that Mison mix was a real help on it

https://music-from-memory.bandcamp.com/album/tbc

really into the final track "All Blue" on this Giuseppe Leonardi EP

https://kenoathrecords.bandcamp.com/album/angophora-scenes

recommended if you enjoyed the Tornado Wallace album and that Fourth World Music compilation

Nice. Shy Layers premieres new track on Dream Chimney

I ❤️ Dream Chimney. Song premiere! https://t.co/6eOex44ykF

There was a new Shy Layers a few weeks ago on Spotify Release Radar.

really like that but I hope there's an instrumental version

I thought I had posted about this Sign Libra mini-album in here but it seems not - on Antinote, and originally designed as the soundtrack to a ballet performance a few years ago. It's all panpipes and sax and birdsong samples and probably my favourite music I've heard this year.

cosmic loveliness, including lots of Japanese synthpop and part of the Super Metroid soundtrack!

never heard of it before, but damn, its perfect for the current sunshine excess.

^ Ha! I've actually been listening to that Tom Middleton album a lot recently for the first time in years. There are some great tracks on it
