this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

It will come out on vinyl eventually.

XD

"balearic craziness" = oxymoron?

RONG.

Speaking of "Balearic," anyone have the tracklist for Simonetti's "Balearic Sabbath" comp? There is just one song I don't recognize (the one right after Stevie Wonder)

Also, classic for including the best, weirdest Sylvester song ever

9. Fran-Key - Tetrapod Lover (Takimis Lost Ipod Mix) (Crue-l)

this is pretty darn amazing. anybody with any other recommendations along this line? i suppose i should now check out the crue-l grand orchestra, huh?

Hmmm...maybe it's before Stevie. I don't know, It's not Wings, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie, Sylvester, or Sabbath - what else is there? It's a longer tune...the lyrics sound like 'hold on...bella' but that ain't it...

that is "Onda" by Cassiona

it's a Brazilian track, I only know it cuz I have it on a different mix with titles (Brazilian Beat Brooklyn Vol. 1 or something like that)

I think it was on Baile Funk 1 (which is like chill 70s music, not the current type of baile)

Ah! Thank you!!

I've interviewed Sorcerer & Hatchback for the Amoeba Music blog - check it out here.

i picked up the Hatchback 12" this weekend and it skips twice. there's no gunk or scratches. maybe it was pressed offcenter? i need to return it. bummed.

how was it when they came into the store? what kinda stuff did they play?

it was great! a little crowd of friends and heads came out to see 'em, and they played a mixture of soon to be released and unreleased original stuff, ultra-deep-digging cosmic/kraut stuff (Space Art was a notable one) and some newer cosmic/balearic stuff like the Aeroplane 12" on Eskimo. Sucks about the the Hatchback 12", we've got a few left, i'll make sure there's one for you to exchange when you come in. ask for me.

Tropical Hotdog is a great name.

it didn't occur to me until I saw their blog that it's a captain beefheart reference

tropical hotdog night, like two flamingoes in a fruit fight!

Here's a mix i did recently, live at an 'ambient/chill' festival in the middle of the woods in Mendocino County, CA. the tracklist:

allez allez - african queen (quiet village remix)
fern kinney - baby let me kiss you
pointer sisters - mercury rising (dub version)
mudd - c40
six cups of rebel - kontroll (the organ grinders breakdown)
key of dreams - africa (dub mix) (klubb kebabb edit)
champ's boys orchestra - tubular bells (cosmic mix)
the knife - marble house (the emperor machine remix)
venus gang - love to fly (cloud edit)
ashford & simpson - solid (dub version)
sorcerer - egyptian sunset
vangelis - let it happen (beatfanatic's balearic boogie mix)
paul simon - diamonds dub (tangoterje edit)
ashra - shuttlecock (cloud edit)
amp fiddler - faith (jazzanova remix)
peter visti - dolly

hope you like it, you can download right HERE

(you'll probably need to right-click that and 'save as', PC users)

i was in the store on a sunday about a month ago on a sunday evening and there was some dude spinning one of the craziest ambient/chill sets i've ever heard.

i specifically remember he went from "our prayer" into some sort of pbs-type monologue about prayer into some sort of indian sitar/chant type stuff. also lots of alice coltrane-styled raga jazz and lots of cluster-sounding ambient krautrock

any idea who that was??!?

also your set there is A+++++++++++++++++++++++++

hmm. i'm not sure who that might have been. we did have a 'summer of love' DJ series on Sunday afternoons throughout July & August, so it was probably part of that. If i had to guess i'd say it was Brother Dylan or Brother Robbie, two kids (i mean that literally, they're both like 21) who do a monthly 60's club night at the Casanova Lounge called The Mutual Appreciation Society. They do a Kosmische night every few months, the most recent one was this past Sunday...if i had to guess i'd say it was them but frankly i never thought either of them had it in 'em.

and thanks, looks like i made the grade!

damn, i just left mendocino a few weeks ago. i would have been there ;_;

sounds good, too!

battags, what comes in around 1:02??? fire

oh its the vangelis! nice

i dunno lucas, it sold out two months in advance, by lottery only, and *everyone* buys a ticket, including all the organizers and DJ's. they would have turned you away at the gate. 350 people max. more info.

thanks deej!

all DJ sets/performances from the festival are online BTW and can be found here...

Nice mix, BATTAGS!

i know man! i lived in willits for a year or so before moving to victoria BC in september, so chillits is definitely a friend-of-a-friend deal

anything you recommend out of the other sets?

oh yeah, you know the deal.

DF Tram - killer 4am ambient set, tons of weird samples & textures. great stuff. Tal M. Klein is funky downtempo with live guitar/bass/keys + laptop beats. Megan Hug is shoegazer with some electronics thrown in for good measure. Timmii is an interesting journey through a whole bunch of different stuff that manages to sound coherent when listened as a whole.

i'm still making my way through them myself so i'll post links to any other notable ones. those are the ones i remember from the party.

i would *highly* recommend going to the wikipedia page on chillits and checking out the 2003 recordings - Jonah Sharp and Mixmaster Morris absolutely KILLED IT (as much as you can at an ambient party i suppose). Morris' set has been a regular staple in my listening diet ever since, shit is legendary.

hey dude im listening to yr mix right now, its great!

that key of dreams track = A+++++ would listen again

as though i could love toto any more

thanks max!

you can find that key of dreams edit on this release.
funnily enough i found the original 12" yesterday, with full vocals and everything. i think i'm gonna try dropping that instead.

hey Vahid, is that your name i keep seeing on flyers around town (and like SF Weekly 'best DJ 2007' or some shit like that?)?

DJs don't develop a cult following in this town very easily - it takes a lot of skill, an ear for mixing, and positive energy to keep the gyrating hordes a-flutter. DJ Vahid is the real deal for our readers, and now that he's landed a gravy gig at 1015 Folsom, adoring dance junkies can hear a lot more of him.

haha no

i'm a humble high school teacher / grad student

tho i have lots of positive energy too

the real question is if you keep the gyrating hordes a-flutter

vangelis is totally the best, i copped a copy of the 12" off discogs w/in minutes of hearing it

:) ok just checking!

deej, was it expensive? we've still got it in stock at amoeba...

that track is a great segway from chill to dance.

also, V4hid: do you play out at all?

what else sounds like "caramellas"? i am so into this tune right now.

Has the A Mountain Of One debut disc been released yet? I see conflicting/confusing information about its release date on the internet.

you can get it on amazon.co.uk as of oct. 6. i couldn't find it in any sf stores.

expect it to hit SF in a few weeks, tops. forced exposure will be carrying it, i believe.

Sorcerer has done an exclusive mix for our site www.trackwerk.net which includes some unreleased material. I thought some of you guys might dig it;-

windsurf - light as daylight
camel - wing and a prayer
marcos valle - estrelar
sorcerer - stixx
travis biggs - tebetan serenity
unicorn - rat race
leprechaun - loc-it-up
hatchback - carefree highway
johnny guitar watson - strike on computers
paul mccartney - sunshine sometime
richard schneider jr.- hello beach girls
windsurf - the big island

Also, the Hardway Bros now have a myspace

www.myspace.com/hardwaybros

A couple of new edits on there

i was just listening to that mix tonight. the johnny guitar watson track is great.

FYI: The AMO1 debut disc, Collected Works, turned up on eMusic this morning.

I posted something about it on that message board, as well. I don't mean to seem troll-ish (if repeating posts is a sign of that). But I'm really pleased to see it made available, and I was asking about its release date a few posts upthread, so I thought it was worth mentioning here, too.

man that sorcerer mix is fantastic!
