this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

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:
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?

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

spotify:user:cosmicdisco:playlist:59MRyu1At7vp39Cw3WE7wD

Any better?

Nope, it doesn't appear to exist.

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.

That Peter Visti remix of Jenny Wilson is astonishing. I want more female vocalists in my nu-Balearic.

yeah i am insanely jealous of anyone going to electric elephant

tix to croatia aren't exactly cheap, tho

you are right about that Jenny Wilson!

Any one else heard the new Smith & Mudd album Le Suivant? I saw a news piece on it on Resident Advisor yesterday that it was coming out next month so preordered it from the Claremont 56 website and was surprised to find it waiting on my doormat this evening. Only listened to the first few tracks so far but really liking what I've heard. It doesn't seem a massive departure from their first LP but that's no bad thing in my book and certainly reminds me of the Meanderthals album

lots of talk about the tiedye mix of dj kaos' "love the night away" on the DFA thread, but it really belongs here imo. if you haven't already heard it, check it out on disco horror- which i am now contributing to regularly!

also re: tiedye, a lot of you may also dig this edit of a popular swedish tune they recently did with rune lindbaek, which i found on the idib blog

xpost - smith & mudd's new one is spectacular to be sure. already in my top 10 of 09...should be in the shops soonish, but you can do direct order if you can't wait.

the david cassidy/donna summer mix that tim f bigged up somewhere - i think maybe one of his '08 threads - is basically ruling summer '09 for me. also the kommand edit of "washington" by lucio dalla has gotten lots of plays - you can listen to it (and other edits) here: http://www.myspace.com/kommanddj

listening to that dj kaos mix right now...this might be a grower? not sure i like the vocals that much

the vocals make the song

good review btw dude, dope song

test pressing has been posting some pretty damn amazing stuff in the past few months, including a rad island-records mix by paul williams and a couple ultrabalearic vintage cafe del mar tapes by jose padilla and phil mison.

nice to finally hear how the whole new age/ambient side of balearica fits into everything on these cafe del mar mixes, i just wish i could track down more (the only other one i can find is #27 is on the djhistory forums). in particular the phil mison tape stands out as being just mind-blowingly great imo

2 more streaming mixes here i guess- http://www.h-track.com/cdm.php

max would diggg on the padilla mix. so smooth, maybe a good morning after mix?

^^^^ jaxon mentioned this to me

hey space cowboy & the macallan 18 year, will you guys email me regarding Balearic Mike? i can't for the life of me figure out how to email you directly thru ILX...

another dimension at geeeeemail dot com please.

the david cassidy/donna summer mix that tim f bigged up somewhere - i think maybe one of his '08 threads - is basically ruling summer '09 for me.

Assume this is the one you mean (can't be bothered to find the OG thread/post]

Very nice - one of those tunes just the right side of cheesy and better for it - a bit like the entire works of The Blue Nile ;)

whoa

that mix is awesome and i realllllly want an mp3

i found one fairly easily on s1sk if you wanna go that route

on the same just-the-right-side-of-cheesy, this is huge for me (not the longer 7-minute version i have but still very nice):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utY4tcV1eCw

speaking of the blue nile, i have this balearic mike set on my computer where he drops an instrumental version of "heatwave" - was surprised at how well it worked in the context of the set

can you leonardo/blog the mp3? i can't soulseek.

There are no issues with posting full mixes here by the way.

rad, ty for clarification

i luv blue nile

the more shit that sounds like blue nile, the better this world is imo
