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

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:

Ugh, Jolly Mare I mean.

Tim F, Saturday, 19 May 2018 05:57 (five years ago) link

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

MJ Lallo - "Aquarius Blue"

boxedjoy, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 09:28 (five years ago) link

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

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)

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 13:57 (five years ago) link

This mix is great

Thanks, boxedjoy. I heard the Pablo's Eyes comps and was almost surprised by how much I was feeling them. Their Extreme albums didn't make much of an impression on me in the 90s. Also loving that Jason Kolar disc. I don't think it's a reissue though

doug watson, Sunday, 15 July 2018 01:54 (five years ago) link

Not sure that I actually need more music like this in my life but:

(a) loving Arp's Zebra; and

(b) excited for Hatchback's new album based on the single, which is gorgeous.

Tim F, Sunday, 15 July 2018 02:31 (five years ago) link

Whoah!! New Hatchback?

I honestly don't think a single week has passed in the last 7 years without me listening to at least one track from Zeus & Apollo

groovypanda, Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:30 (five years ago) link

two weeks pass...

OK so when is the Jolly Mare album coming out?? What happened?

I've been looking forward to it.

Evan, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 05:19 (five years ago) link

Out this Friday I think

groovypanda, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 11:24 (five years ago) link

Oh! I hope so.

Ah, got it. Some other sites were not estimating an actual release date. Even his soundcloud still says June.

Evan, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 12:16 (five years ago) link

I'm not sure if this belongs in here. It's a dub version of a Sade track (I think) on Berceuse Heroique, who usually release extremely unBalearic techno

paolo, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 21:11 (five years ago) link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py8hSDhFp-k

I’ve been enjoying this.

afriendlypioneer, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 23:06 (five years ago) link

xp Sade is as Balearic as it gets so that track is a perfect fit for this thread

Their Ingus Baušķenieks compilation is lovely. What are the best releases on this label? I got their album of unreleased Vazz material last year, that's worth checking out

paolo, Monday, 13 August 2018 10:37 (five years ago) link

This one is great:

really looking forward to the Domenique Dumont album based on that teaser

ufo, Saturday, 18 August 2018 05:56 (five years ago) link

that John Gomez RA mix is a joy, so is the recent Raphael Top-Secret in a similar vein

The Darling album on Young Marco's label "Safe Trip" is lovely stuff, really serene ambient house that owes as much to Gaussian Curve as it does the sounds on those Italian dream house compilations

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 08:33 (five years ago) link

Wow the Pablo’s Eye records are stunning.

One of these guys is DJ Sports. Not sure if this counts as Balearic

paolo, Friday, 24 August 2018 17:42 (five years ago) link

That MJ Lallo track above is right up my street

paolo, Friday, 24 August 2018 18:21 (five years ago) link

there's an MJ Lallo compilation coming soon as well!

boxedjoy, Friday, 24 August 2018 19:04 (five years ago) link

I like those last 2 a lot

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 24 August 2018 19:31 (five years ago) link

This track from the Still Corners album feels right at home here
