masterpiece followed by masterpiece

Haha so good!

Various 2017 best ofs are out over on Ban Ban Ton Ton (not on Testpressing this year).

Usual mix of stuff posted in this thread and other gems that went under the radar.

Testpressing best of 2017 roundup now available in one handy YouTube playlist

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.

loads of great stuff AND it's a charity compilation for Dominica

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!

jed switched me on to this and shared it in the Music From Memory thread, it's wonderful

Stop It! Stop It!

Wait, there's a Music From Memory thread?

This is on the flip of the reissue and also very good

so sick

Great mix from back in the day from Phil Mison

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JmTaNH4b7M

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!

New Tommyboy mix!

https://soundcloud.com/whoistommy/tommyboy-out-of-africa-ii-metanoia

charity shop find a couple of weeks ago :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifetracks

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swvAY3-r0_Q

New Eleventeen Eston LP coming in two weeks. Loved the last one

https://soundcloud.com/growingbinrecords/sets/eleventeen-eston-at-the-water

I’ve never paid much attention to the dude before but from the snippets up on soundcloud the forthcoming new Holly Mare album sounds phenomenal:

https://soundcloud.com/jolly-mare/logica-natura-lp

Ugh, Jolly Mare I mean.

Some great tracks in here, perfect listening for a Sunday morning. I don't really know much about this scene but I've picked up a few Antinote and Music From Memory releases and am looking forward to doing a bit more digging

This sounds good

This beauty is out on July 13. Hear & Now - Aurora Baleare: https://t.co/hzisoeQRdK pic.twitter.com/TpMfD0xRFc

Jura Soundsystem "Udaberri Blues"

MJ Lallo - "Aquarius Blue"

The Sound Of Love International is probably my favourite compilation of the year so far (Italian Dream House III was extremely disappointing) and this is my favourite from it

STROOM 〰 might be giving Music From Memory serious competition in the archival reissue business:

Have we ever had a street soul thread? So much of this stuff is brilliant in a fake Soul II Soul way. This one is getting a reissue after selling for two thousand pounds (!) on Discogs

(This one being Bo'vel - Check 4 U)

This mix is great
