so - any consensus on this ?

i loved deakins triptych 3 cd set given that it was totally all over the place and a fascinating listen.
is this nu-balearic set a good'un for us newbies to the genre (loved AMO1/Studio stuff i have heard)

I haven't got it (YET) but from the tracklist alone it looks like the perfect overview. I listened to samples of the tracks I don't know and they all sound ace.

Possibly it might get a bit samey over two discs - it's the only commercial mix I've seen that hones in on this sound so consistently. But it looks very good.

it's the only commercial mix I've seen that hones in on this sound so consistently.

absolutely.
he's obviously a fan of the scene and pushed the licencing through sharpish, these making this a fine looking quickfire starter pack that i suspect i'm going to give in to my urges and buy in a few hours time.

I mean it has "Piece Together" and the Quiet Village remix of Mudd's "Spielplatz" on it! You can't go wrong!

"Schoon" from Toby Tobias' Space Shuffle is very nice.

the deakin mix is actually really well put together.

yup.
sounds great, looks great (proper effort in the packaging !), reads great.
perfect for those of us who dont hunt out the limited 12" issues and wants to hear what this groove is all about.
i also love the way that fred writes his mixes up.
he did the same for triptych - makes the mix all the more personal

Liked the Aeroplane RA one a little less.

yeah it's Kuniyuki, sorry bout that, also the sound quality got a little garbled on that track and I can't figure why.

3 new releases out tomorrow on Whatever We Want:

Dr. Dunks: Re-Imagined in Alphabet City
The Laughing Light of Plenty: The Rose / Listen Here
Bobbie Marie: Choo Choo Train

OMG Aeroplane live OMG

They were so good! When they were playing their own and similar stuff (Mungolian Jet Set remix of "Moon River", Tensnake remix of "I'll Be By Your Side" etc.) it was like the entire dancefloor was enveloped in a giant bubble of E. It was very deliberately populist and untasteful too - "Love Is In The Air", "Happy Together", "Heaven Is In The Backseat Of My Cadillac", plus a great bootleg of "God Only Knows" over melodramatic schaffel. All subjected to ridiculous amounts of EQ trickery. Also I liked how genuinely into the camp aspects of their aesthetic they are. As only one played at a time the other would be in the audience jumping up and down and getting everyone to sing along to their words of their own remixes (MGMT, Cut Copy, The Shortwave Set) with absolute unselfconsciousness. I was impressed, too, by the enthusiasm of the crowd, which I had initially thought was a lot of post-work revellers at the gig only by coincidence. But no, everyone seemed to recognise the Aeroplane tracks (mind you it's not hard to), and half the crowd ended up singing along to "Your Love". I was most disturbed by a small crowd of fine-looking young homosexual men who appeared to know every word of Matias Aguayo's "Minimal".

jealous!!

Also based on the Resident Advisor description of the track I'm pretty sure they played Patrice Baumel's "Roar" - RA says it sounds more like a lawnmower revving up and conking out over and over again, and that is exactly what this massive track was like. In effect it was a bit like "Doppelwhipper" - massive crowd response.

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

this is great!

man, hatchback's forthcoming album, "colors of the sun" (lo) is really making me happy right now...

BALEARIC INCARNATION

whenever i see this thread i think of one of my all-time fave remixes:

http://soquoted.vox.com/library/audio/6a00cd9710dcc44cd500e3989870f50004.html

(and how i wish i still had the vinyl)

20 jfg put up "Don't turn away from my love" by lovelock, who is steve moore from zombi, apparently it comes out on cosmic balearic beats vol.1 in september from eskimo with coyote in flagranti maelstrom and others... looks bonerific

oh damnit i knew i shoulda went to aeroplane!!

Best part of the Aeroplane set was when one of them dropped Robin S's "Show Me Love" and drew a comparatively muted response from the crowd - the look he gave everyone was of confused astonishment, like "WTF is wrong with you this are best track ever!"

lol read 'lovelock' as 'pipecock'

Tim - 'Roar' is a bit like a whole record built around the chainsaw noise in Mouth To Mouth but kind of... bigger and wider. And no kick drum.

So yeah, probably the same track.

i read about that 'roar' track. pretty crazy http://www.myspace.com/patricebaumel

I've tracked down "Roar" in the intervening time. A bit hard to sustain itself on its own but what a great track in the mix. Aeroplane kept on mixing back in and out of the fucked up section for about six minutes or so.

gosh : moshi moshi get on board the nu-balearic groove by getting AMO1 a gig :

Shari Vari=god!

finally got around to giving the new WEWW 12"s i bought a listen, love laughing light of plenty track "the rose." it gives you a real feel for how Thom contributed to the MOA project, also it gives off a woolfy vs. projections vibe.

the dr. dunks album is more laid-back balearic, subtle developments over slow grooves with etherial piano dripped over the top and ambient synth add to the atmosphere. lovin it

that's for "the phone," love savage introduces a balearic synth-poppy vibe next to grinding guitars and more jarring textures in the middle, both amazing though

you listen to too much music

send me those traxx tho thanks

man, hatchback's forthcoming album, "colors of the sun" (lo) is really making me happy right now...
