how far are we from Todd Terje releasing instrumental edits of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game"
okay surely i am not alone in thinking this would be the most amazing thing?

"lol @ rough trade - everyone knows the 1st BB EP was the weakest!"
Yeah this is almost off-putting to read. It surely means "y'know, it's got a rhythm track and it's a bit cruisy, but it's not scary or anything! nothing too experimental!"
And yeah I'm imagining the most awesome awesome edit of "Wicked Game" right now. Not that the song needs an edit to be fabulous.

there totally needs to be a seperate balearic thread as stuff gets lost int he beardo thread to quickly.
the mix that mountain on one did for best foot forward is totally wrecking my head.
in some ways its really great phased out low slung coke rock.
and sometimes i think that balearic is the nu re edit is the new electro is the nu electroclash is the nu...is the nu...is the nu..... (repeat to fade)
and I think about cnuts going into phonica and asking about the lastest Lindstrom mix of chris rea's Josephine and I want to kill it before it grows.
― Hamildan, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 22:51 (5 years ago) Permalink
Almost two years old, but the Lindstrom and Prins Thomas LP goes here too. I almost feel like they should have released it under a different moniker and then went ahead and released the 12" versions as themselves. Its not a dance record at all.

WTF - The Cure "Lullaby"???
― baaderonixx, Thursday, 2 August 2007 09:19 (5 years ago) Permalink
There's no Wiki entry for balearic (the music) so someone should write a really bad one and piss off the purists. I'm so unbalearic that I spelled it wrong twice in my previous post.
― Raw Patrick, Thursday, 2 August 2007 09:29 (5 years ago) Permalink
there's a wiki entry for 'Balearic Beat', though.
I used to think it was pronounced and spelt 'baleriac', I'm still not really sure if I'm saying it right.

I've never heard anyone say 'Balearic beat'.

mm, it sounds kind of lame (the word 'beat' in a genre name generally sounds lame and pseudy to me?). 'Balearic house' i've seen used, though.
― c sharp major, Thursday, 2 August 2007 11:36 (5 years ago) Permalink
"Lullabye" I can totally see if it's the Extended Mix on Mixed Up - I've put that on quite a few balearic-y "Back to Mine" style comps I've made.

Cantoma AKA Phil Mison (1/2 of Reverso 68 aka Frontera aka Bakazou)
Its a little more on the World Muic side of things, but is without a doubt balearic revival.
Also, Phil is an A+ bro and an English Gent to boot.

here's a moment where i get somewhat confused and ask questions: - wtf is Kate Bush doing on that list? - where do QV play into this? Force of Nature? - has anyone heard the record by Lexx called "Sirocco"? it seems that that fits in nicely.

All the Music For Dreams/Kenneth Bager stuff works here. Although they've been pretty balearic-esque since the beginning. Bager has an instrumental version of Ripperton's "Les Fleur" that works pretty well.

Yeah I have that Lindstrom album, but I guess I'm probably confused by the definition of Balearic.
Do people agree with the Top 25 list above? I'll try to compile that and see how it flows. I'm also a bit puzled by Kate Bush being on that list.
― baaderonixx, Friday, 3 August 2007 08:03 (5 years ago) Permalink
i have like 1/2 the songs on that list (which made me rediscover that disgustingly good art of noise track) and the kate bush track fits in pretty well, i think

why are people surprised by Kate Bush and not CHRIS REA? his presence plus Carly Simon's just demonstrates how deliberately vague, nebulous and flexible the Balearic term always was. It's pretty much just based on whatever Jose Padilla or whoever was dozy enough to play at 8.36am in Cafe Del Mar 20 years ago.
― blueski, Friday, 3 August 2007 10:56 (5 years ago) Permalink
Rea pretty much *is* adult contemporary, even if I do like "Josephine". He has recently gotten the hipster re-edit treatment by Todd Terje and the Eskimo/Mindless Boogie people, so I'm guessing he's still fresh in people's mind.

12 Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle (Lucky Number, 2005)
I've been listening to the music on this thread almost exclusivley for the last three days, giving this ^^^ a spin for ther first time in a year or so just this morning. shortly after listening to it, i left my house and went to my favorite coffe shop and it came on the sound system as i was leaving! kind of weird since that shop usually plays very quiet, anonymous jazz or korean pop music all the time.

I've been following these guys via myspace for over a year. looks like they're getting an Eskimo release.

so much so that i put it on this mix i just made! it's not straight up balearic, but i think maybe the overall mood might at least be something approaching balearic house? regardless i figured that since people in this thread seemed to dig the last mix i posted, i should give it another go. also, i heard about a few of these tracks through ilm, so thanks!
