The balearic beardo beach hippie album canon

don't let the 'Produced by Phil Collins' credit scare you off, it's a sign of quality.

i want to hear this now. is there much drum machine/synth stuff?

More latter than former, if I remember correctly? Still very much has the mark of early 80’s Phil. Tuff drum sounds. Textural vocoder. Etc.

yeah, not really new wave but it has Phil on drums and the bassman plays a Chapman Stick and it's 1981 so has that 80s modern sound of Abacab, Face Value, Discipline, Security et al. higly recommended (esp for $1)

it's a beautiful album. def recommended. if you want full on balearic smoothness, check out Sapphire. i had it for one day, thought it was great and then dropped and chipped it and haven't been able to find it again.

cool, I'll def grab it if I see it about. i'm going through a bit of a John Martyn phase atm, Stormbringer! and One World getting a lot of play time

while i love Bless the Weather through Insides Out, i find that i reach for One World most often. will have to seek out Glorious Fool and Sapphire now.

BiS episode with Jonny Nash back in Januray finished with this song:

new track that totally fits this vibe. starts w/a CSNY vibe. drums kick in half way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0UpGDQxqB8

Does Peter Green's "Little Dreamer" fit into this beach balearic category? I'm really loving this track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94x4Ezs_OVM

Does anyone know if that Ned Doheny reissue is legit or not as Bill Brewster and some of the others over on DJHistory are suggesting it's just a bootleg?

fuck yes @ that peter green-- was that on a skotrok mix? i know ive heard it on a mix somewhere

i put it at the end of one of my mixes

New Seahawks album coming soon, according to Phonica.

^ i saw that! tho it seems like they are constantly updating the soundcloud with new and dl-able tracks

Oh sweet! Thx for the tip.

ahhh that Johnathan Wilson is great-- how's the rest of his stuff?

also sorry my Santana video is more "beardo disco" but that thread's all new releases lately so i came here

i've only heard two jonathan wilson tracks, other one not as good. his album comes out in september. he jams with all kinds of classic rock dudes, plus vetiver and the guy from black crowes.

here's the other one

"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
