this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

They better not be lying about the total pressing too. This is the third time I’ve been had by intentionally misleading bandcamp “x copies left” slimy sales tactics. The other two times my fav store Commend (mentioned earlier) had them in stock a week after they “sold out” on bandcamp. It’s a bit shitty to drive sales by going “well yeah technically this particular box has 20 copies left in it so it’s not a lie”

If either of these guys ever complain about streaming royalties after charging $55 for 20mins of music, they can die in a fire.

errr

Sure, $30 for a small press is fine, and yeah, the shipping does make it much worse, but what are the options? You can only buy this if you agree to the shipping fees, so shipping is part of the price of this item. This won't be for sale in my (or your) local shop.

I hope not, or I'll feel like even more of a sucker.

The Sad About The Times compilation on Anthology is excellent and well worth checking out for fans of melancholic, 70s FM folk rock

You are alone in a hot tub on a warm summer night back in the '70s.

i'm in. thanks groovypanda

Vinyl Factory very wrongly tagged that comp as Yacht Rock so I had to quickly adjust my expectations when I started listening.

That Gumba Fire comp from last year sounding absolutely fantastic out the garden in this hot weather

This mix is all kinds of ace. Properly Balearic.

That Gumab Fire comp is very underrated, one of my fav comps from last year.

Thanks for the heads up on Pilotwings, groovypanda! After that I checked out the Molitor 71 EP and it's great so far.

Yup, the Pilotwings mix is A+.

La Torre Ibiza Vol 3 might be the best in the series: https://www.ibizacdmusic.com/product/la-torre-vol-3-2019/

02. Nu Guinea – A Voce ‘E Napule

That's it. I refuse to get had ever again. Sure enough Postcards From Nowhere is getting stocked at Commend NYC. Fuck you Melody As Truth...

Now this is really nice. Much more dreamy and relaxed than their albums.

Hi, here comes some new music I made last year for a ciné-concert of the movie from 1930 called People On Sunday! https://t.co/ydT0bSSxbC

Not that those are all nature themed, but anything that fits in with the vibe

Is this a spotify list and can it be shared?

It is not, but it can become one! Not sure if all of that is on Spotify.

That was actually a back up plan if I was unable to connect the playlist from my iphone to whatever system will be there.

It does all mix very nicely when shuffled

Curious as to what this is - 六月花 (June Flower): 緑の丘 (Green Hills), 赤い夏 (Red Summer)
- 地球 (Earth): ジャングル (Jungle)

Here you go:

https://fireflower.bandcamp.com/album/--6

https://fireflower.bandcamp.com/album/--4

https://hiraeth-records.bandcamp.com/album/-

try some Almunia, Hatchback, and Windsurf.

Um. The Hiraeth link is a little weird; it's the bottom left album that shows up when you follow it.

thanks! xp

Don’t forget Sorcerer with the Hatchback and Windsurf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9flGYl4FRc

Not electronic but the compilation for the extended surf shop / label promo called “Self Discovery for Social Survival” from last year might fit.

The promo itself has some nice surfing footage!

Greeen Linez’ Things that Fade

you can also easily slot this into that playlist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWmQNeGQb7w

it has the right spacey balearic guitar vibe though it depends on your feeling towards TWOD maybe

Sounds nice! But maybe not tropic-lounge enough

Redafs - Melancholy Gamelan Feel (it's on spotify, youtube video is not available)

Any more keywords to use to find the right "Sorcerer" among all the metal bands?

Try here

https://www.discogs.com/artist/731678-Sorcerer-2

Thanks all again by the way.

Also just want to mention Immersion II by Deepchord is one of the most beautiful & relaxing tracks I've ever heard ftr. Lots of beauty in this collection of albums but that track just nails it (on the ambient side).

check these out too!

Eleventeen Eston - At The Water
Pablo Color - La Calle Roja

Awesome- will do! thanks

Phil Mison's album as Ambala from a few years ago is great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqpJvVim5m8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILELhP1z724

Some comp recommendations that don't entirely fit the nature brief but am going to mention anyway:

- The three La Torre Ibiza compilations are all brilliant.
- 'Chill Pill' from last year: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Chill-Pill/master/1601376
- Isle of Jura have a new comp coming out shortly: 'Transmission Two' that looks promising (tracklist below). First one also worth checking.

1. Carl Craig – C Beams Glitter (Versus Version)
2. Bochum Welt – Greenwich (Mix 2)
3. John Rocca – The River Must Flow (Zulu Dub)
4. Daniele Patucchi – People Come In
5. Hit Man – Future Times
6. Sapho – Le Train De Paris (Jura Soundsystem Edit)
7. David Arch – Afro Culture
8. Zann – After Work
9. Hirini Melbourne – Waiata Ki Te Ra
10. Jeff Bridges – Feeling Good

Second those La Torre comps.

Also Chris Coco's Balearic compilations

Phil Mison's album as Ambala from a few years ago is great

Good call- also totally slept on Cantoma. That is being corrected.

Claremont Editions out this week

https://soundcloud.com/claremont-56/sets/claremont-editions

When Claremont 56’s first compilation series, “Originals”, came to an end in 2013, Paul “Mudd” Murphy decided not to replace it, choosing instead to pour his energy into promoting albums and singles from the label’s growing family of artists. Six successful years later, Murphy has had a change of heart and decided to inaugurate a brand new compilation series, “Claremont Editions”.

This time round, the focus won’t be rare and obscure cuts selected by DJs, but rather new, unheard and overlooked recent material from label stalwarts, new artists and friends Murphy has made along the way. The first volume of “Claremont Editions” is naturally rather special, offering a vibrant and colourful trip through Claremont 56’s distinctively warm, sun-kissed and emotion rich sound. As befits a compilation that will be desired by DJs and sofa-bound listeners alike, Murphy has selected a mixture of dancefloor-friendly workouts and hazy, horizontal fare.

Claremont 56, yes. Blue River was a key listen on my trip to Oahu/Kauai in 2014.
