this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

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:

thx for Tornado Wallace ref, Circadia EP is excellent.

And indeed surprisingly familiar Studio vibes at times.

ooooh. i done edits!! pleases listenzzz

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)

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:

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:

New Horsebeach EP:

https://horsebeach.bandcamp.com/album/disappear

the latest dream chimney mix is really good too - starts off with a lot of jazz, then more balearic as it goes on:

https://soundcloud.com/the-dream-chimney/mix-of-the-week-julian-horn

btw if anyone knows the very long jazz track at 56 mins in that julian horn mix - that'd be cool

lonnie liston smith? sounds like his brother on vocals anyway.

that's what i thought - it turns out it's this, which i don't think is his brother based on discogs. amazing record!

ha awesome. figures it would be some random war bside from 1983. god i do love the whole psychmagick-style psychodelic homemade funky synthetic direction.
