"at this point"

i've been obsessed with this Kourosh reissue from last year for the past couple of weeks. i think it fits here, but you know, iranian.

er sorry can't tell if those links work or not, but they are the songs dar enteha and ashiooneh.

This thread is astonishing... Days and days worth of material and food for thought to immerse myself in. The first song that sprung to mind part of the way through the thread was this one, although this is perhaps a little more melancholic than much of this stuff:

I expect the forthcoming 'I Am The Centre' collection of private-press New Age synth on Light In The Attic will be a perfect fit for a rum-guzzling beach soiree.

also for Knew-Age music: nu-balearic hippies who fell asleep on the beach and woke up staring at the stars.

honest question: so is there a meaning of "balearic" that is any more precise then just "beach and sun-inspired"? b/c it seems like it's applied to anything from "if only i could remember my name" to sunny LA 70s pop to like, lindstrom or neon indian or ibiza dance music

That's the joy of it maaaaaaaaaaaan. Its a 'vibe' yo.

balearic refers to a style of djjing practiced by djs in mid-late80s mediterranean. midtempo club music with flamenco guitars, evocative of beaches. Think "sue o latino".

see: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Classic-Balearic-Mastercuts-Volume-1/release/144535

i guess in the context of this thread it means "mellow open minded 70s rock that may have come out of LA"

think "la isla bonita", that's basically balearic beat gone mainstream

(Or 'balearic style song everyone would know')

I know there's loads of John Martyn in this thread but this is like the most Balearic song ever recorded:

i.e. read 15 threads and 2000 posts to see that the term is applied to strikingly different kinds of music? sorry i'd prefer to just ask the question

uh the term "balearic" was not invented by this message board

really

if you have to ask you'll never know http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

here's what Dictionary.app (Free with all copies of OSX, an operating system for Macintosh computers) says:

Balearic |ˌbalɪˈarɪk, bəˈlɪərɪk|
adjective
relating to the Balearic Islands: the Balearic government.
• relating to or denoting a style of synthesized dance music that developed in Ibiza: the Balearic beat.
ORIGIN from Latin Balearis + -ic.

^^ so the fact that there's standard definition of "balearic" that includes ibizan dance music means that somehow it's not okay to ask a music message board why the term is applied to tons of totally different music?

sorry i just didn't anticipate snark to what i thought was a fair question

it's ILM there's no escaping snark

don't harsh the vibe, chill bros

iziba dance music is tons of totally different music, is the pt

why the term is applied to tons of totally different music?

because 'balearic' djs play different styles of records

also it's confusing because it gets (mis)applied to hairy nu-disco dudes (lindstrom) and chillwave/indie rock (neon indian)

sorry
Let's all dance to this

Nah but he had a lot of greats.

Replace "Balearic" with "goth" and see if the idea of multiple strands of music sharing the same unified ~vibe~ is still confusing.

xp balearic is probs the most nebulous/numinous instance tbfttl... certainly a game i've never quite got the hang of anyway
