who's feeling todd terje's remix of 'plastik'. it's got bozouki on it!

i guess this should go in the beardo thread, but i am really enjoying the new riton album - eine kleine nacht musik.

havent heard that much Riton but I luv Hammer of Thor

btw I was way wrong upthread about that aeroplane / kathy diamond record. bought it today :))

the riton rmx of h&la is fukkkin dope

peter visti "balearic monday" mix KILLIN' it for me this morning. tracklist:

1) a split second - stringdance
2) sky - desperate for your love
3) roland romanelli - love in space
4) mikael rickfors - turn to me
5) fleetwood mac - tusk
6) john forde - dont you know you did it
7) bryan ferry - dont stop the dance
8) koxo - la maranza
9) linkwood family - piece of mind
10) wings - goodnight tonight
11) woolfy - odyssey
12) maze - twilight
13) talking heads - naive melody
14) kenny loggins - this is it
15) manzel - midnight theme
16) willie colon - set fire to me(inferno dub)
17) amadeo - memories

Yeah it's great isn't it - so different though from his mixes for 24 Hours and Cosmic Disco (both of which are brilliant). The guy has great range.

aside from the obvious highlights on this mix ("tusk"!), i will plump for "desperate for your love", which is gorgeous winsome prog-lite

i might like this even more than the 24 hours mix!

I wish I had tracklists for those mixes :-(

yeah, 24 hours tracklist u+k (i can identify about five or six things maybe)

BTW Vahid did you know that Jess of Jess & Crabbe fame is one of the curators of this Permanent Vacation comp:

Space Oddities - A Compilation Of Rare European Library Grooves from 1975 - 1984

a link to visti's "balearic monday" mix?
much love for his "Kodex 205"/ "Tokyo By Night" 12" but i also keep playing his "Jolene" to death as well.

balearic monday mix (and tons of other nice-looking mixes i haven't heard) available here

this past weekend i floated in my friend's pool down by the jersey shore while listening to my balearic playlist on ipod dock and it was :D :D :D

Okay let's try to do track ids for peter visti's 24 hours mix:

0:00 - ??? ("Captain, I think we're home/one thousand years later, where did I go?)"
5:59 - ???
13:51 - ???
20:03 - LCD Soundsystem - Us & Them (Windsurf's Any Color U Like Mix)
30:16 - Reverso 68 - Piece Together (Part Two) (THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER BTW - I should hunt down the vinyl for this b/c Todd Terje remix of Part One is also amazing)
37:48 - Santana - Mirage
42:30 - ???
47:02 - ???
52:30 - ???
59:27 - ??? (I'm positive I know this)
1:06:50 -
1:15:34 - Still Going - Still Going Theme

That Fred Deaking Nu-Balearica comp looks like it'd be pretty excellent in this style.

13:51 is one of visti's own tracks i think? "heaven is a disco"?

59:27- is this the very disco track? that's an idjut boys edit called "blow me slow"

DYING to know what 5:59 is

which Visti mix are you trying to figure out?

the 24:hours one

right, i got that part, but the most recent 'after dark' mix doesn't match this tracklisting you folks are trying to put together at all. so which one?

oh right, the other one:

http://2-4-hours.blogspot.com/2007/10/peter-visti-has-been-djing-and.html

dl'ing now

yeah 13:51 is 'heaven is a disco'..can't figure out anything else tho, i'm no help.

That's already been a help guys!

How about the Cosmic Disco mix? This is even more of a mystery to me.

0.00 - ???
6:00 - ??? (I love this one -"What do you see????")
9:47 - ??? (the cheesy piano in this is amazing)
15:34 - ???
20:00 - Human League - Being Boiled
26:35 - ??? (pretty amazing whatever it is)
30:40 - ??? (I adore this, it reminds me of early Soul II Soul - structurally occupies the same role as "Piece Together Pt 2" in the 24 Hours mix - "Calling you African people! This is an African court!")
35:53 - ??? (this sounds very familiar though - could it be Reverso 68 again?)
41:31 - ???
46:56: - ??? (Some cover or edit of CSN's "Fair Game" I think)
50:27 - Deadbeat - Port Au Prince
56:42 - ???
1:01:14 - ???
1:05:39 - ???
1:11:54 - ???

52:30 - ???

hot r.s. - slow blow (or one of the many edits thereof)

yeah, that's what i meant above, but i got the time wrong

15:34 - ???

this one is killing me--i think ive heard an edit of it somewhere? the bass is instantly recognizable.

oh sorry harlot i didnt see thats what u meant

a tip off :
A Mountain of One - Collected Works - Zavvi - £3
[you may have to dig in the random sale racks]
having heard this album, i now get why this thread is so full of love for the band.
wonderful.

am i the only one to hear shades of those london spaced out acid jazz'rs Sandals in AMO1s people without love ?

not a complaint though, as i loved the Sandals thing before it all fell apart under bad coverart choices.

haha just went to download the cosmic disco mix and they've got the tracklist there!:

An 2 - Diva
Sven Van Hess - What Do You See?
Electric Mind - Zwei (Dub)
Sammy Barbot - New Mexico
The Human League - Being Boild (Peter Visti Edit)
Sly Mongoose - Bad Pulse
Kwanzaa Posse - Wicked Funk
Lexx - Slow Burning
Smith and Mudd - Shulme
Mandre - Fair Game
Deadbeat - Port au Prince
Thomas Leer - Tight As A Drum
Luna Twist - African Time
Karma - Funk de Mambo
Thomzen - Che Amichi

Sammy Barbot - New Mexico

^^ i knew this one from the lovefingers edit of this track

Sammy Barbot - New Mexico

love this, he used it on some other mix right?

lol xp

oh nev mind thats the same mix ive been listening to

Love the vocal in the background of "New Mexico" shouting "you're not the only one!" - sounds really doom-laden for some reason!

But really the heart of this mix for me is the Sly Mongoose/Kwanzaa Posse section. If I had that Kwanzaa Posse track I would play it at every party ever.

calling all you african people!

Ha ha look what I just found:

http://www.zshare.net/download/134653915ad80e38/

theres like forty mixes of this track

(Basic Groove)
(Radio Mix)
(Dimension Of Blue Clouds Mix)
(Hypno Beat)
(Funk Rebirth)
(Afro Ambient Mix)
(Mellow Mix)

Yeah that zshare link is not quite the right one, but still good. It's more self-consciously "balearic".

the 'funk re-birth' mix has verses!

I'm gonna be asking for help with Visti's "After Dark" mix soon. 9 minutes in and it's so good. Second track is just insane...

while we're playing the tracklist game, any guesses on mark e's mystery mix? i know the second-to-last track he uses and that's about it

i really love "shulme" and the smith and mudd album in general's been growing on me lately

aside from "still going theme" i don't know anything on the after dark mix. the track after that is (a remix of?) "forever more" by moloko

Not that it helps but 5:59 on teh Visti Cosmic mix was used by Prins Thomas at the Gun Club last year. Its on the mix from that at around 35:00 of Part 1 of his mix.

I think, when we look back at Balearic, we'll see it peaked with Reinterpretations.

52:30 - ???

yeah man, definitely not the major swellings edit, i'm pretty sure it's the original

0:00 - ??? ("Captain, I think we're home/one thousand years later, where did I go?)"
