not sure if there's anyone who only reads this thread but not bobbins, but the vakula album definitely gets into some heavy balearic and new age vibes, and it's pretty much excellent all the way through.

i know i've heard it before, but i can't put my finger on it. really enjoying all the mixes you're posting ITT LG, just takes me a while to get to them.
ah yes, i'm just joking about blogging - just good to place things here now and again, my job at the moment allows a lot of listening to music - there is a process where some things don't make the grade for the effort of a copy and paste here, quality control still exists.

Was laughing my head off when the Vakula album goes full-on Santana / Bongo Brothers / Ozric Tentacles(!) Great sound. There's actually only one House per-se track on it (which works great as an early build up) and I wonder if people will miss it if they're expecting more of that sort of thing. It's a proper ludicrous space-rock / cosmic disco epic as they used to be made. Almost reminds me of AR & Machines' Echo or something, with that artwork as well. Very Orbular on a couple of tracks as well. Probably makes more sense on CD but I want the triple gatefold just because that's the proper way to do these things isn't it.

Have a number of these cuts in my iTunes library so am enjoying this. I find myself predisposed to the less house-y, more pillowy synthy stuff – so this hits the spot.

Any other recommendations for similar 'classic' balearic/electronic music?
feel like this one could be slotted away in a similar electronic/euphoric subcategory of balearica
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8LeK27_c-M
tho e2-e4 is obviously a lot less cheesy than most of this stuff, sorta hard to compare anything to it in a direct way. on the proggier/noodlier side of things definitely ashra, maybe transfer station blue? wahnfried's townelle? innovative communication in general - clara mondshine, double fantasy, etc. not sure if those were actual classics at the time but they feel right.
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Sunday, 29 March 2015 16:05 (nine years ago) link
thanks, I'll check those out. More asking about classic records in general than something exactly akin to E2-E4.

that spotify playlist was a bit overkill for me - when it's 360 tracks and some are just well-known hits it becomes a bit useless and unfocused.
