this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

also, this rad one:

http://coolinthepool.com/files/Mark_E_-_Love_the_Action.mp3

it would be rad if someone could leonardo the jiscomusic EPs and the new one

anyone know what's going on with Windsurf? they said in the fader that they are putting out an album this year but there is nothing really on their myspace (one new song that is awesome of course). they're probably my favorite new balearic band besides studio.

Eskimo just released their remix of Low Motion Disco, plus a forthcoming remix on Permanent Vacation, then an album on Internasjonal. coming soon!

anybody heard that Baldelli mix on Eskimo? crazy tracklist

Parlour sound very promising, although hard to pin down. "Amor" is like a cross between Studio and A Mountain of One - melodramatic widescreen balearic prog-MOR. "Capriccio" is bloated beardo-italodisco-rock. "Theme" is ridiculous afro-disco-pop that's a bit Boney M.

True to form, Studio, A Mountain of One, Richard Norris and Permanent Vacation are all friends with them.

can someone leo either/both permanent vacation mixes?

"mark e is so crucial"

naturally, i'd love to agree given that i have had a few emails over the last couple of years from people thinking i'm the man behind these tracks, but to be honest, i aint feeling this stuff.

yet.

salty

i heard "foreign affair" by mike oldfield on the radio while eating at a restaurant in prague and it was :D :D :D

fits in wonderfully with this stuff, but i imagine everyone who posts to this thread has heard it by this point and i am ten years in the past as usual

aside:

i'm assuming from context the meaning of to "leo" or "leonardo" (v.) is "plz to send me this music thing." how'd this one come about? why? etc.? just curious.

old noize board thread. it was a title that got switched up a bunch of times and ended up that way

apparently not everyone loves balearic stylings. was in the car yesterday and playing the Balearic Mike beats in space mix (which i absolutely ADORE) and the two ladies in the car kept asking me wtf i was playing. they said if they were listening to music like this, they expected to be getting a massage. lol new age

don't make me come back there and massage you ladies! i'll turn this car around!

Peter Visti's "Tokyo By Night" = the one piece of culture that will live on in the heart and mind of the universe when our planet and our species are long gone.

AKA it's the "Da Funk" of balearic.

ok listening to that j. gonzalez/todd terje track right now. EPIC.

Timspeak: "the one piece of culture that will live on in the heart and mind of the universe when our planet and our species are long gone" = "worth a listen."

I'm auditioning for Boomkat.

In reality "Tokyo By Night" is the second best balearic track of the year after "Whispers".

New mix: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/38583/mikebee%20-%20newmix0608.mp3

falls apart a bit towards the end, but the first 40 minutes are golden. Hope you like. Tracklist when I get a chance to put it down.

impossible to find that linda di franco track mentioned upthread on 12

1. M.I.A. - Paper Planes (DFA Remix)
2. Will Powers - Adventures In Success (Dub)

4. The Who - Eminence Front (Extended mix)

steve shasta asked me politely to never say balearic again

what was polite about it

he said, "hello, good sir. the usage of the term balearic is causing a great pain to my ears. it would pleasure me greatly if you refrained from using it in my presence. good day"

and he was wearing a bow tie

are you sure it wasnt michael white

he probably had his wakeboard with him

no one seems to be talking abt the new lindstrøm? i posted on the thread for it... i think its great. probably fits more under 'balearic' than 'beardo.' "the long way home" sounds like a straight rip of michael shrieve's "transfer station blue." title track is sort of a jarre/e2-e4 thing. great for summer nights.

max, dunno if you heard this or not, but did you hear this Klaus Shønning track i put on my site? sounds totally like "transfer station blue"

but played with like shitty midi instruments (which i like)

d/ling right now

who's feeling todd terje's remix of 'plastik'. it's got bozouki on it!

who's feeling todd terje's remix of 'plastik'. it's got bozouki on it!

it's on its way in the mail, i'm super stoked

i like it alot.

i guess this should go in the beardo thread, but i am really enjoying the new riton album - eine kleine nacht musik.

havent heard that much Riton but I luv Hammer of Thor

btw I was way wrong upthread about that aeroplane / kathy diamond record. bought it today :))

the riton rmx of h&la is fukkkin dope

peter visti "balearic monday" mix KILLIN' it for me this morning. tracklist:

1) a split second - stringdance
2) sky - desperate for your love
3) roland romanelli - love in space
4) mikael rickfors - turn to me
5) fleetwood mac - tusk
6) john forde - dont you know you did it
7) bryan ferry - dont stop the dance
8) koxo - la maranza
9) linkwood family - piece of mind
10) wings - goodnight tonight
11) woolfy - odyssey
12) maze - twilight
13) talking heads - naive melody
14) kenny loggins - this is it
15) manzel - midnight theme
16) willie colon - set fire to me(inferno dub)
17) amadeo - memories

Yeah it's great isn't it - so different though from his mixes for 24 Hours and Cosmic Disco (both of which are brilliant). The guy has great range.

aside from the obvious highlights on this mix ("tusk"!), i will plump for "desperate for your love", which is gorgeous winsome prog-lite

i might like this even more than the 24 hours mix!

I wish I had tracklists for those mixes :-(

yeah, 24 hours tracklist u+k (i can identify about five or six things maybe)

BTW Vahid did you know that Jess of Jess & Crabbe fame is one of the curators of this Permanent Vacation comp:

Space Oddities - A Compilation Of Rare European Library Grooves from 1975 - 1984

a link to visti's "balearic monday" mix?
much love for his "Kodex 205"/ "Tokyo By Night" 12" but i also keep playing his "Jolene" to death as well.

balearic monday mix (and tons of other nice-looking mixes i haven't heard) available here

this past weekend i floated in my friend's pool down by the jersey shore while listening to my balearic playlist on ipod dock and it was :D :D :D

Okay let's try to do track ids for peter visti's 24 hours mix:

0:00 - ??? ("Captain, I think we're home/one thousand years later, where did I go?)"
5:59 - ???
13:51 - ???
20:03 - LCD Soundsystem - Us & Them (Windsurf's Any Color U Like Mix)
30:16 - Reverso 68 - Piece Together (Part Two) (THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER BTW - I should hunt down the vinyl for this b/c Todd Terje remix of Part One is also amazing)
37:48 - Santana - Mirage
42:30 - ???
47:02 - ???
52:30 - ???
59:27 - ??? (I'm positive I know this)
1:06:50 -
1:15:34 - Still Going - Still Going Theme

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