this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

Just bought the Bar album after reading this Testpressing write up:

http://testpressing.org/2014/09/bar-welcome-to-bar-italic/

Sounding great so far and only £3.86 for the entire album over on Juno if you use the code DANCE20:

You can listen to the whole thing here:

anyone got a good best of '14 youtube/spotify playlist going? i'm so out of the loop on my balearic revivalism these days

The Testpressing reviews page is as good a starting point as any:

mahalo

This comp looks pretty amazing:

Don't know if it's come up elsewhere, but this Bager mix is a super treat: https://soundcloud.com/growingbinrecords/music-for-dreams-1

but i am really enjoying the new riton album - eine kleine nacht musik.

this album still works for me, certainly a lot more than the usual riton groove ..

time he made a follow up to this.

Updating to say that after having the LP for a month or so, and listening on Spotify a bunch, this Horsebeach album is def. hitting the top 3 in my Album of the Year list.

yah i feel like theres a lot of ILM who'd never open this thread but would really enjoy it

all my new age friends, check it: http://andrasfox.bandcamp.com/album/overworld

been sitting on this for a while b/c i wasn't quite sure where to post about it, balearic enough, i guess

other important updates: saw young marco dj in philly a couple weeks ago, incredibly fun, did not disappoint, super posi vibes

gigi masin anthology talk to the sea does not get old, vying with young marco lp for my favorite release of the year

new tornado wallace track feat. jonny nash is awesome, studio-esque feel, a guy made a video for it: http://vimeo.com/106549031

love the masin anthology but need to spend more time with it for sure

posted about andras fox in the 'house with new age signifiers' (or w/e it's called) thread to no avail

oh, i was not aware of that thread, prob a better place for it

lol not trying to thread police at all, meant that more as an OTM. i love his aesthetic

it was this thread fwiw - New Age and world music sounds and imagery in electronic music

I've listened to a lot of Andras Fox this year - he's released a load of stuff in a pretty short time.

This came out last week:

http://thethousands.com.au/sydney/hear/andras-oscar-cafe-romantica

thx for Tornado Wallace ref, Circadia EP is excellent.

And indeed surprisingly familiar Studio vibes at times.

ooooh. i done edits!! pleases listenzzz

New Quiet Village next week:

been listening to that stuff on snaker -- is that balearic?

yeah

it's good

the jonny nash album is tite

^ yes. all the snaker releases have been excellent, but the johnny nash album is partic incredible

i hadnt heard this johnny nash record before and its pretty great - thanks for the #headsup you guyz

New Psychemagik mix (in mellow mode). Good luck trainspotting this one

https://soundcloud.com/psychemagik/ace-hotel-mix-master

^ cheers!

And new Moonboots too

https://soundcloud.com/hell-yeah/moonboots-buena-onda-mix-01?in=hell-yeah/sets/buena-onda

more fantastic stuff compiled by emotional rescue

https://soundcloud.com/emotional-rescue/sets/erc020-javier-bergia-eclipse

Yeah that Javier Bergia comp is awes

Our Wayward Flopson sent me this:

https://vesuviosolo.bandcamp.com

i am enjoying tbh

There's some great albums on Picadilly Records' Compilations of 2014 list, many of which tick the Balearic box:

http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/counter/feature.php?&feature=736

Couple of pretty awesome comps by Kenneth Bager up on Spotify: Music for Dreams and Balearic Biscuits. Mostly really new stuff - Mark Barrot, an Italian Roisin Murphy jam, Javier Bergia.

Javier Bergia - Eclipse is a proper album, right? Diggin it.

yeah, i highly appreciate the rec i am fucking loving javier bergia

Thought it was a retrospective comp? If that's what you mean by "proper album"...

Yeah, it's basically a Best Of put together by Emotional Rescue

I've been listening to this tune a lot lately, wondering if it could be classified as "balearic" (a term I still don't fully understand)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK3nYwxO9q8

the gaussian curve album is out btw and it's fantastic, anyone into the gigi masin comp should love it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cM3QrFmgqo

Fourth Music from Memory release consisting of Gigi Masin, Young Marco and Jonny Nash, recorded during a three-day recording session in Amsterdam.

i fucking miss air france

I second the praise for Gaussian Curve. Very good album. Feels a bit short, don't know the actual run time, but I wonder if they have extra material that didn't make this album.

"impossible island" is gorgeous wow. is that record only out on lp?

Yeah, the GC album is available only on lp at this time. But it's encouraging to see that the Gigi Masin and Joan Bibiloni comps are reappearing as expanded CD editions.

Picked up the reissue of Balmorhea's debut release. Recommended

New Mark Barrott:

http://testpressing.org/2015/01/mark-barrott-sketches-from-an-island-winter-edition-international-feel/

sweet, hoping to see his last one on the ILM albums of 2014 run-down...

that track is really nice :) it's like 23-24 mins into the linked mix btw

Lots of jams: http://www.djhistory.com/features/the-furtive-50-2014

I second the praise for Gaussian Curve. Very good album. Feels a bit short, don't know the actual run time, but I wonder if they have extra material that didn't make this album.

does feel really short, but it is brilliant.

i really like this basso mix - dunno if any of you listen to his mixes but they are good:
