This remains one of my favorite ILX threads.
On the Herb Alpert tip: his disc with Hugh Masekela has got some lovely stuff on it.

awesome revive. was hoping we could get this thread going with some recommendations again, feel free to disagree with the following...
steve winwod - arc of a diver. if you can get with his voice there are some great tunes on here, "spanish dancer" especiallyhttp://p.dada.net/cspv/59-10-68-10-00-MetaPreview-Cover-JPEG256x256/steve-winwood/arc-of-a-diver.jpg
yello - claro que si. a lot of yello songs are just ott balearic, i think this record has more of that vibe than the others (disagreements welcome). they don't exactly scream 'hippie', but some of the early stuff might be cosmic enough to fit. also check "blue green" from the record before this one, also on ralphhttp://www.musicline.de/cover/Yello_Claro+Que+Si_602498307564.jpg
little river band - s/t 1975. real surprised nobody has mentioned them here yet. "it's a long way there" is a pretty ideal fit for this thread imohttp://bigpondmusic.com/images/AlbumCoverArt/117/L/Little-River-Band2.jpg
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 3 March 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
does Roxy Music's "Like A Hurricane" fit here? Kinda?
― tylerw, Wednesday, 3 March 2010 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link
ya, the 12" of Steve Winwood's Night train from that album has an instrumental and i've seen harvey and rub'n'tug play it
― jaxon, Wednesday, 3 March 2010 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
would like to hear that instrumental, you mentioned it once before iirc. are there any instrumentals of the joe cocker stuff on island? that would be similarly awesome.
and xp- i think roxy music fits, esp if we're talking about a neil young cover
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 3 March 2010 21:01 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, it's the neil young song. sounds like Studio sort of.

my record collection needs more tri atma, reminds me of my favorite kitaro tracks. tho maybe it's more fit for a revive of that 'global village syncretic fusionism' thread (which could use a revive anyway, imo)
btw i think this thread is the reason i got hooked on ilm. cheesy but true.
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 3 March 2010 22:54 (fourteen years ago) link
There's a copy of that Little River Band LP at a market stall near me.... all the encouragement i need.
― sonofstan, Wednesday, 3 March 2010 23:24 (fourteen years ago) link
has there been any john martyn posted in the thread? if not, there should be. i've been buying his later albums and they are always amazing and as they get smoother, get more balearic

^ not necessarily that one. that one's more on the hippy beach part of it. but he uses cheap drum machines and is produced at Compass Point and even worked with lee perry

played 80s trivial pursuit this weekend and had the question asker scoff and say "you are SOOOOO never going to get this,,, name a zurich born harpist that was listed in three US billboard charts in 1984."
i got up and threw my Andreas Vollenweider record in his face!
i can't remember the question, but the same thing happened when they asked about the william hurt film gorky park. the soundtrack's epic, assholes!

I love that Ned Doheny song. Hard Candy and Prone are two albums worth tracking down. His self titled album is my favorite, but it's more west coast country rock than Balearic.
― Jacob Sanders, Sunday, 7 March 2010 17:36 (fourteen years ago) link
king of impossible to find, or so i've seen. there are also Tata Vega and Average White Band covers of that song.

There's a mix from dirk of eskimo recordings on lovefingers that's all balearock/funky/folky/classic rock. Great stuff.http://www.lovefingers.org/mp3/dirk.mp3Think there's also another one on beats in space worth searching for.― jaxon, Wednesday, October 29, 2008 12:45 AM (1 year ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
this is the BIS mix. probably one of my all time faves. so perfectly sequenced and mixed. and with really obvious songs, but it doesn't even matter. so great.

Someone up thread mentioned Jim Ford, someone I have only heard of in passing. So I sought out his records this weekend and I found one called Harlan County. I don't see how it fits into this thread at all. But it sure is good. Almost sounds like Don Covay or Swamp Dogg mixed with Billy Swan? Anyway really great album.
― Jacob Sanders, Monday, 8 March 2010 23:33 (fourteen years ago) link
yea it doesn't really fit with a beachy vibe, but he sure did love yachting and cocaine!
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 9 March 2010 00:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Are his later recordings different than Harlan County? After listening to this a few times, I keep asking myself is this a subdued Don Covay?
― Jacob Sanders, Tuesday, 9 March 2010 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link
i haven't heard everything, but the comps i have seem to indicate that he didn't really switch his style up too incredibly much. does jim ford not have his own thread?
