you can stream the whole thing at http://www.lorecordings.com/ Jetlag and Everything is Neu are total jams.

beta, i pre-ordered them from phonica a few days before they came out. i think they sold out that day and piccadilly sold out even sooner. discogs has them selling, but for mucho $$$$

Ha ha "Everything Is Neu". Still waiting for a band to call themselves "Neu Order".
Meanwhile I got the Fred Deakin mix - it is an neverending cup of overflowing goodness. Really nails that sense of floating equilibrium that Peter Visti gets on his best mixes - total dancing in zero gravity material.

I have the Everything is Neu 12, it's great, like awesome 80s montage music

Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream
I didn't expect to like this, owing to it being an Australian super-group of sorts, and I disapprove of that sort of thing on principle (although I've never really had anything against Sleepy Jackson and always liked Pnau) - but this is very pretty!
OTOH I wonder how many times they had to say "MGMT! MGMT!" in order to get the whole thing bankrolled.

just tracked down the second track on that visti 24:hours mix! frankie valentine - "zumbi" (henrik schwarz dub)
― donna rouge, Saturday, 20 September 2008 22:59 (fifteen years ago) link
uh, whoops, i lied: the isoul8 remix, not the h. schwarz dub
― donna rouge, Sunday, 21 September 2008 00:05 (fifteen years ago) link
thank you so much, such an amazing remix

cosmic balearic beats vol.1 in september from eskimo with coyote in flagranti maelstrom and others... looks bonerific
this record is superb btw... so much great music on here
― braveclub, Monday, 29 September 2008 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link
^^ lol was about to revive thread to talk about this, esp. the homerun track which is a STUNNER (you can hear it unmixed at their myspace, doesn't seem to be an actual 12" out yet: http://www.myspace.com/homerunlaurent)
― donna rouge, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 04:29 (fifteen years ago) link
i want more of this kind of epic-synths-yawning-into-the-chasm type stuff

Yea I'm digging that one too, more than the Deakin one in fact
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 15:05 (fifteen years ago) link
actually i wish that comp was released unmixed.
the mixing isnt anything special and about 1/3 of the tracks are mad boring.
― ♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Wednesday, 29 October 2008 12:24 (fifteen years ago) link
are you guys talking about Cosmic Balearic Beats? the whole thing just came out as 3 seperately-released, unmixed 12"s...i'm way into the Coyote & Maelstrom tracks...
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Wednesday, 29 October 2008 18:04 (fifteen years ago) link
There was a mix cd (done by Skinny Joey) released as well... http://www.discogs.com/release/1411450. There are some notable differences between the cd and vinyl releases, for instance I purchased Vol. 3 and was treated to a Brendan Moeller track that wasn't included in the mix.
But I think gr8080 was referring to the Deakin comp (Nu-Balearica on Ministry of Sound) which seemed to choose dull tracks in favor of a seamless mix. Which of course is boring.
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 20:22 (fifteen years ago) link
gr8080 otm, i think the homerun track really outshines nearly everything else on that mix. STILL haven't heard the deakin mix, tho
― donna rouge, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 21:12 (fifteen years ago) link
xp no i was referring to the cosmic balearic beats one
didnt know about the unmixed 12"s
― ♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Wednesday, 29 October 2008 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link
they should have just gone with the same format as the computer incarnations for world peace series
yeah, a few of those tracks are throwaways frankly...
xpost i liked the Deakin mix though, there's tons of my favorites from last year on there...
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Thursday, 30 October 2008 07:14 (fifteen years ago) link
the deakin one is too long to listen to all at once but there's some great stuff on there, I dig it
― dmr, Thursday, 30 October 2008 14:53 (fifteen years ago) link
The Cosmic Balearic Beats comp is available unmixed on iTunes and (I think) Beatport, with the mix stuck on the end as a long hour+ track, similar to what !K7 did with the Carl Craig comp.
― Telephone thing, Thursday, 30 October 2008 18:50 (fifteen years ago) link
are you sure its unmixed and not just separate tracks?
― ♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Thursday, 30 October 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link
The Aeroplane remix of Grace Jones' "Williams Blood" is just lovely, albeit a bit LOL AEROPLANE.
― Tim F, Thursday, 30 October 2008 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
The Homerun track on the Turbo Mind Vacuum 3 compilation is great too.
― braveclub, Friday, 31 October 2008 12:03 (fifteen years ago) link
gr8080, I bought Cosmic Balearic beats on iTunes and you get all the individual tracks unmixed, full length, and then the cd version as a single track, so it works out as good value.

has anyone heard this?
http://carletoncurtis.transworld.net/files/2008/08/seasiderock.jpg
They sorta came out of nowhere with this all-instrumental follow up album of wistful balearic tunes. A pleasant listen, nothing earth-shattering but it's a nice statement.
― psychgawsple, Friday, 31 October 2008 20:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Maybe it wasn't out of nowhere. I have some balearic comp from a few years back with "young folks" on it... (((shivers))). I would pay money to never have to hear that song again.
And I think they're from Gothenburg too. I guess that's sorta ground-zero for this scene.
― psychgawsple, Friday, 31 October 2008 20:14 (fifteen years ago) link
That Aeroplane remix of Grace Jones is awesome.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 2 November 2008 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I can't believe nobody's mentioned the Prins Tomas James Yuill (?) remix thing. Its what I wanted that Erlend Oye album to be.

so why no talk about diskjokke on ilx?

i like that album a lot. wacky shit. is it pronounced disk jockey?
― cutty, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 01:43 (fifteen years ago) link
not really thread for the balearic revival material though, i don't think?
― cutty, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 01:47 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah but it's not really beardo either
― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 02:37 (fifteen years ago) link
btw i think it's pronounced "deez yucky"

Re the Grace Jones Aeroplane Remix - it occurs to me that they are the Jacques Lu Cont of Balearic now.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 02:42 (fifteen years ago) link
how so
― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 02:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Big mainstream/crossover producers with kind of electro/disco sound to them?
Kind of heavily trance influenced?
I guess I can see it. Who's the Ewan Pearson then? Todd Terje?
― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 02:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually what Aeroplane remind me of most is Patrick Cowley style High NRG, only at like 115 BPM.
Low NRG?
― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 03:04 (fifteen years ago) link
is diskjokke too electrohouse for this thread?
