Eric Clapton's opening credits song to the Stephen Frears movie The Hit (which is kinda balearic itself, btw - british gangsters road trip through Spain, lots of semi-mystical philosophizing, the remaining soundtrack is by Paco de Lucia.) End credits say he was "assisted by Roger Waters".

I think I remember reading that most of his records were hard to come by in the UK and and Europe due to only being released in Japan. I think the sleeve notes of the Mastercuts comp say this. Can't be sure though.

I think the world needs a re-edit of this - maybe drawing out the "do do" part and the synthy spirals...

for balearic sets at twilight:

Sort of a menacing vibe to this one, like being lost in wilderness trying to make it back to camp before dark falls. Synth flutter that appears later on in the track is a dead ringer for a Black Dog song, maybe a sample i'm not familiar with.

grinding is the wrong word. bumping, more like
or i guess the menace i hear is more like the idk 'hostilitiy' of teasing/flirtatious banter

yeah, i guess i'm thinking more about the synths underneath, which seem kind of sinsister to me, at least in contrast to the banter. definitely a "losing it on the weekend" thing
― gardener by day, gatekeeper by night (blank), Thursday, 28 July 2011 23:54 (thirteen years ago) link
that synth line is so good that it makes it all the goofy vocals and sensual grinding and insistent menace actually work. together. all at once.

danny rampling set from 1988http://soundcloud.com/dannyrampling/danny-rampling-kiss-fm-london
digging this, it gives me a little more context on how people used these in a set
also good timing since I just read the danny rampling and alfredo/ibiza interviews in "the record players"
― dmr, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link
^ awesome stuff but the sound quality is distractingly bad. is record players a good read?
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Thursday, 11 August 2011 18:12 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah I'm enjoying it, the chapters are short so even the ones I thought I wouldn't be that interested in I can read 10 pages of no problem, ya know? at first looking at the list of DJs I thought it might be too uh British for me but actually the northern soul chapters and the Rampling, Ibiza, Hacienda stuff was interesting cause I haven't read about it 100 times like I have Kool Herc or whatever.
― dmr, Thursday, 11 August 2011 22:02 (thirteen years ago) link
curious whether I will finish the whole thing though since now I'm down to the bitter end and the last few chapters are Oakenfold, Sasha, and Tiesto ...
― dmr, Thursday, 11 August 2011 22:04 (thirteen years ago) link
yea there is always a point in those 'history of the dj' type books/features where it gets way too british and you're just sitting there wondering how it went to quickly from farley jackmaster funk to goldie or w/e
