Ha ha oh god, I managed to watch about 30 seconds of it before my boss came back in and I've got tears of laughter in my eyes. So good. This is the thing, though, the originals of those kinds of videos really annoy me, but when they're subverted, like that Satisfaction video or very obviously the Windowlicker video, they make me laugh SO HARD and they are the best thing ever.
Lex, I've found the album New Moon by Almunia on Spotify, which tracks do you recommend?

Not strictly relevant to this thread seeing as everyone knows the song but it's the right vibe and probably a Top 10 moment of my life.
― Matt DC, Friday, 29 July 2011 11:28 (1 year ago) Permalink
It doesn't have to be new, DC, it can be anything that fits the vibe described here.
And I really don't think I have the right Almunia because this is just flat out Spacerock and I can't imagine the Lex listening to anything that sounds this much like Pink Floyd?

That's the right Almunia, I was surprised by the Lex love as well, maybe it's the lack of vocals.
― Matt DC, Friday, 29 July 2011 11:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
I guess if it's, like, "Attack ships on fire off the Balearic Nebula..." style spacerock, it would belong on this thread?

(They also managed to work in I Can't Help It by Jacko and Enjoy The Silence and Stop Baijon and Nocturne by Kate Bush and Chime by Orbital and a load of awesome cosmic disco stuff I didn't know, it was probably the best DJ set I've ever seen. I'll shut up about it now.)

My favourite tracks from the album are probably Electric Blues and Travel although this one's lovely too:

Bubble Club have been doing some really nice stuff in this vein as well - most of it's much slower Balearic stuff but this is pretty dancefloor-oriented:

OMG NIPPLE DANGER
totally off-topic, but I've never understood why the nipple is always the censored part - I'm a man but I have them too, I know what they look like. It's the curve that I find more offensive and gratuitous than the nipple. See also: covering the gap when you can already see most of the ass.

It's that ~shimmery~ wibbly wub noise that really gets me. I mean, this is years and years pre-Aeroplane, but it's the main synth sound in this track (also plus girly vocals and handclaps) that makes my ears sit up and say boy howdy:

I listened to the Talabot/Glasser track when someone posted and remember being curiously unimpressed by it.
(side note: basically, if someone would do a swishy Aeroplane style remix of Azari & III's Manic World, that would be my favourite thing in the world ever, but it's so not gonna happen, that would be a mutant.)

YUP, the Max Essa remix has the handclaps, the swishiness and ghostly female vox, but man, I wish they'd left his vocals out of it, ha ha. Otherwise perfect.
Actually, that reminds me - there are definitely some BTWS remixes that fit this thread

I'm still trying to work out if I like Max Essa or if he just irritates me. If this is Aeroplane-Italo enough for me, or if it's just rubbitch 80s soft rock with a bit of disco added on. (see also: naked ladies as props on album art)

The album that's from is totally great by the way.
I was all "well, that's a bit shit..." but then there was a break and the drums kicked in and OH MY LORD - that should really just start about 3 minutes in, right, or is that a different song at the beginning?

It's an intro melody that's actually part of a Holy Ghost! song. Wolfram really milks it on the album, anyway.
That Roberto Rodriguez track is a jam - pretty sure Weatherall played it last week and I remember my ears pricking up.

this is less balearic, more herculean (and love affair), but seeing as jessica 6 have already been mentioned...

they seemed to be pretty adept at using vocals as disparate as grace jones and au revoir simone...and a lot of their remixes were precisely that, of doing something to an original that you'd never have imagined

When I was in France a few weeks ago I went with some friends who are mostly "indie" fans to a nightclub that was playing stuff that was kinda like this thread, but perhaps less shiny and more beardo, and "Beam Me Up" had them cheering and singing along despite none of them knowing it. That kind of thing makes me happy, and since then I've been able to convert them a bit towards this stuff with some mixtapes etc, so for that reason alone I have too much love for "Beam Me Up".
Jacques Renault is doing a lot of good work with his remixes just now - this is a current favourite, it sounds so light and dreamy that it seems almost suspended in mid-air.
