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

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

I don't really know Jane Weaver's music (or Stubb, who is another alias of Flash Atkins) but this is lovely - reminds me of the Open Space remix of "Freedom Of The Floor" but a bit more Cocteau Twins

New Domenique Dumont is very good, a little more guitar jammy than the first one. Still fairly brief and beautiful.

I've been listening to it quite a lot, in fact

Pretty sure his Secret Circuit stuff is discussed upthread somewhere. so yes.

Recently been enjoying the Antoine Kogut mini album that taps into the sort of sleazy, Gallic pop that Air, Gainsbourg and Tellier often produce

Feeling those Antoine Kogut tracks

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

This is on The Trilogy Tapes, not known for their Balearic releases

This one's from a compilation of Rex Ilusivii's tracks on Versatile from earlier this year. He's also had releases on Vladimir Ivkovic's excellent Offen label

calstars, Monday, 26 November 2018 21:01 (five years ago) link

A little different direction, more of a techno vibe, but still very chill

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 26 November 2018 22:41 (five years ago) link

Been working my way through Picadilly Records' Compilations of the Year. Lots of good stuff as usual but the Club Meduse one is fantastic - comes across as a slightly more chilled version of those Psychemagik Magik Cyrkle/Sunrise etc comps (which is no surprise as it's on Danny's Spacetalk label).

Can anyone recommend bands that sound like Antena? Because I just got the reissue of the Camino Del Sol EP and it's ace

Some chilled out vibes from the Scottish Highlands inspired by Celtic mythology. This album was made with the assistance of Forestry Commission Scotland, which is something that I don't think that you can say that about most of the other music in this thread

paolo, Saturday, 16 February 2019 09:56 (five years ago) link

Paolo, try Domenique Dumont

Evan, Saturday, 16 February 2019 17:22 (five years ago) link

Thanks but I'm already into them :)

paolo, Saturday, 16 February 2019 19:12 (five years ago) link

Figured it was possible! Always worth mentioning just in case.

Evan, Sunday, 17 February 2019 14:11 (five years ago) link

Finally got around to listening to this and I think I've finally resigned myself to something I have suspected for some time: the two volumes of Sketches From An Island--which I've listened to more times than I could possibly count--were a fluke. Like everything else I've checked out by MB, this recent album does nothing for me whatsoever. I'll try again, because in theory I'm a big MB fan (well, based on those two albums, anyway), but probably won't be buying this one.

Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 17 February 2019 14:41 (five years ago) link

This one is very different, but has its own charms

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 17 February 2019 15:09 (five years ago) link

I think its worth noting that he admitted he wasn't trying to do Sketches 3 or a similar approach, and it was released on Running Back which these days is known more for bigroom house than anything, rather than his own label

boxedjoy, Sunday, 17 February 2019 18:54 (five years ago) link

He has a bunch of really good singles and eps that are worth checking out for more of that sketches vibe.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 17 February 2019 18:58 (five years ago) link

He's an old head... he put out a lot of stuff in the 90s too (future loop foundation etc)

brimstead, Sunday, 17 February 2019 20:13 (five years ago) link

I really love Nature Sounds of the Balearics. To me he’s just as good at the techno/house side as his sketches from an island vibe

Also in Talamanca System with Gerd Janson and (Phillip) Lauer.
