another thing that belongs here:
http://www.myspace.com/cantoma http://www.discogs.com/artist/Cantoma
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.

the walk on the wildside version is good too.

There are a couple other balearic threads on ilm that should help you out if you want more info.
xpost - surprisingly, yes!

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.
― gr8080, Saturday, 4 August 2007 00:27 (5 years ago) Permalink
I'm helping my family put together some songs to play at my brother's engagement party, and fittingly enough "La Ritournelle" was the first to receive the seal of approval.

I've been following these guys via myspace for over a year. looks like they're getting an Eskimo release.
I guess maybe they fall in the middle of the venn diagram with Cosmic/Beardo/Edits on one side and Balearic/Revivial/Bands on the other.
Anyone know anything else about them?

Hey, that Wicked Game remix is brilliant.

Speaking of Cure remixes, I'm listening to the relatively obscure "Let's go to Bed (milk mix)" and it would totally fit on a balearic mix. I think Saint Etienne's "Like a Motorway" would sit in there pretty well.

man, that tullio di piscopo track is fantastic. i bought it (on ZYX) at SF's groove merchant years ago, and played the shit out of it when i used to have a downtempoish sunday night weekly at dalva. don cherry plays on it!

that sorcerer LP is OK, but i dont like any of the uptempo tracks.
it feels a little too same-y from track to track, too.

peter gabriel "i have the touch" totally belongs on a balearic mix

Goddamit. I'm working on a mix right now that I was planning on closing with "in the light of the miracle."
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 17:06 (5 years ago) Permalink
I already did it for a compilation I made which very few have heard, so now I feel unfairly cheated - however I used the Another Thought version and this one is different, not sure where it's from.

There's the 13 minute dancey version on the Soul Jazz Russell comp.

the version i have is from this:

i grabbed that Sorcerer album. i really like it, but i think it coulda been better had he used more live instruments or analog equipment. it kinda suffers from a computer smoothness. (this is the same complaint i got from a friend when making music a few years ago on Reason)
― jaxon, Thursday, 9 August 2007 06:29 (5 years ago) Permalink
this Danny Krivit edit of In The Light Of The Miracle was just posted here yesterday, and it's very good -- is the same version on the Soul Jazz comp?
― lucas pine, Thursday, 9 August 2007 06:59 (5 years ago) Permalink
thats how i feel about it, jaxon. i switch it off after like 6 tracks. or skip the faster ones.
does windsurf have any vinyl releases or just that mp3EP on kompakt? i really like the stuff on the myspace.
still stuck on Studio - West Coast. Vinyl should arrive by Friday.

i've already listened to it once, have to listen again though as i was preoccupied and my ears only mostly perked up when i heard the familiar eno/byrne collab stuff

It's pretty good, but I'm not sure I'd put in the Balearic category.

xpost - i read that blog, as it's in my rss feeds, but i gotta say, i don't really get the love for the edits so much. there was one recently of that Voyage "I Love You Dancer" track by Rune Lindbæk that just didn't make any sense. he really didn't do anything to the track besides add echo to a few parts. why not just play the original?
