Firstly, if not familiar, these tapes will change your life. I was wondering if anybody has a list, or is up to the challenge of listing the tracks of some of the more popular tapes that have been circling around the internet.
Again, Danielle Baldelli is the truth. It is Wednesday night and Cosmic Tape 31 just ended leaving the skin on my face a melted puddle on the floor.

don't worry about it, a lot of the tracks really aren't the same without his magic touch

Winston, you are probably right, but there's a few not-so-obvious ones that sound like they would stand strong on their own (without the hiss that plagues these tapes).

I want my electronics sounding as close to a direct-to-disc recording as possible in 2008.
Side note: I've never let Art Of Noise's Peter Gunn play all the way through until a few hours ago. Trevor Horn gets busy.

Peter Gunn is post-Horn Art of Noise.

New Baldelli mix at the top of the page here:

Very good so far.
But I gotta say that I'm not totally feeling those Cosmic Rock 12"s on Eskimo though.
― Romeo Jones, Sunday, 4 May 2008 22:27 (seventeen years ago)
Did anyone else really like that Baldelli and Dionogi mix, "Cosmic Disco and Cosmic Rock " ? I picked it up and I am really feeling it. It has more of a new/wave synth approach at the beginning and gets more disco as it goes along.
― oscar, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 23:54 (seventeen years ago)
i like it ... better than either "baia degli angeli vol 1" or "cosmic - the original" ... but not as much as his "cosmic sound" album

Anyone seen baldelli recently? he's playing near me in a couple of weeks time at traditional-style pub!

the tapes or the tracklistings?
check out the leonardo thread for a bunch of cosmic tapes, though only a few are by baldelli and only a couple are from the 'cosmic' series, i believe.
and i found this word-document containing a bunch of the tracklistings for baldelli's cosmic tape series on the djhistory forums not long ago
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 16:41 (sixteen years ago)
also it can be pretty frustrating when you're listening to an awesome tape and then you realize it's side one and you don't have side two. it all ends so abruptly!
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 16:45 (sixteen years ago)
There's a torrent going around with 3gb of these tapes. I think it's called Tapes. Should be easy to find.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 16:57 (sixteen years ago)
can someone plz id this awesome weird synth-art-rock song from an 80s baldelli mix?

what's the crazy, hissy, wooshy effect he puts on almost every other beat in his mixes? is it an eq thing?
― (jaxon) ( .) ( .) (jaxon), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 20:44 (sixteen years ago)
is it not just a byproduct of this stuff being transferred from tapes?
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 21:48 (sixteen years ago)
i assumed it was both? him messin' with the eq + 10,000th gen cassette = whooooosh
― guammls (QE II), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 21:52 (sixteen years ago)
ye i was just gonna qualify my statement. it's definitely a combination
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 21:53 (sixteen years ago)
also is there any way to get rid of this 'authentication required' prompt on this thread?
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 21:55 (sixteen years ago)
i meant tapes. thnx vain_bowers!
― akaky akakievich, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 21:57 (sixteen years ago)
hard to find the old baldelli stuff with decent sound quality. this one exceeded my expectations.

I never listened to "Cosmic Disco? Cosmic Rock!" until last week, but I love it.
The selection of these tunes feels so purposeful. A different kind of purposeful to the camp affect of the disco-rock tunes that I typically associate with the beardo revival - the emphasis is so much on these weird pseudo-new wave counter-rhythms that weave in and out of the main beat, even though the music remains very populist.

Weirdly I met marc0 di0nigi once - actually hung out in his basement studio - but at the time I had no idea who he was. Was on our honeymoon in Verona - his mum is somehow related to my wife so we just dropped into their house to say hi. Kind of kicking myself now for being such such a corny indie ignoramus, remember being very impressed by the girth of his lol hueg wall of records though

Yeah "Better Be Good To Me" sounds amazing in this mix. Makes me wonder if there's a grunty sped-up disco edit of "Bette Davis Eyes".
I also super-love the track (I momentarily forget which one) that sounds like the inspiration for the Smith N Hack remix of "Moving Like A Train".
― Tim F, Wednesday, 16 March 2016 22:58 (nine years ago)
Playing his "Etno Cosmic" mix right now, it's so good, even the Tears for Fears instrumental works well. Should try to get my old hard drive with all these mixes on it working again....
