this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

ok listening to that j. gonzalez/todd terje track right now. EPIC.

Timspeak: "the one piece of culture that will live on in the heart and mind of the universe when our planet and our species are long gone" = "worth a listen."

I'm auditioning for Boomkat.

In reality "Tokyo By Night" is the second best balearic track of the year after "Whispers".

New mix: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/38583/mikebee%20-%20newmix0608.mp3

falls apart a bit towards the end, but the first 40 minutes are golden. Hope you like. Tracklist when I get a chance to put it down.

impossible to find that linda di franco track mentioned upthread on 12

I did have folder of the top 25 balearic (inc that track) upped to Sendspace. Lemme know if you want it again, though it'll be Monday probably as I'm moving between computers at the minute.

here's a tracklist for the mix I posted above. i know the link looks weird, but it works!

1. M.I.A. - Paper Planes (DFA Remix)
2. Will Powers - Adventures In Success (Dub)
3. Quiet Village - Pillow Talk
4. The Who - Eminence Front (Extended mix)
5. Dub Delay Band - Changing
6. Chateau Flight - GRN Aventurine
7. Ape Into Jam - 1972
8. Low Motion Disco - Love Love Love (Aeroplane mix)
9. Juicy - Nobody But You (Deo-Dub)

11. Mari Boine - It Ain't Necessarily Evil (Mungolian Jetset remix)
12. Smith & Mudd - 24/7 (Recloose remix)

steve shasta asked me politely to never say balearic again

what was polite about it

he said, "hello, good sir. the usage of the term balearic is causing a great pain to my ears. it would pleasure me greatly if you refrained from using it in my presence. good day"

and he was wearing a bow tie

are you sure it wasnt michael white

he probably had his wakeboard with him

no one seems to be talking abt the new lindstrøm? i posted on the thread for it... i think its great. probably fits more under 'balearic' than 'beardo.' "the long way home" sounds like a straight rip of michael shrieve's "transfer station blue." title track is sort of a jarre/e2-e4 thing. great for summer nights.

max, dunno if you heard this or not, but did you hear this Klaus Shønning track i put on my site? sounds totally like "transfer station blue"

but played with like shitty midi instruments (which i like)

d/ling right now

who's feeling todd terje's remix of 'plastik'. it's got bozouki on it!

who's feeling todd terje's remix of 'plastik'. it's got bozouki on it!

it's on its way in the mail, i'm super stoked

i like it alot.

i guess this should go in the beardo thread, but i am really enjoying the new riton album - eine kleine nacht musik.

havent heard that much Riton but I luv Hammer of Thor

btw I was way wrong upthread about that aeroplane / kathy diamond record. bought it today :))

the riton rmx of h&la is fukkkin dope

peter visti "balearic monday" mix KILLIN' it for me this morning. tracklist:

1) a split second - stringdance
2) sky - desperate for your love
3) roland romanelli - love in space
4) mikael rickfors - turn to me
5) fleetwood mac - tusk
6) john forde - dont you know you did it
7) bryan ferry - dont stop the dance
8) koxo - la maranza
9) linkwood family - piece of mind
10) wings - goodnight tonight
11) woolfy - odyssey
12) maze - twilight
13) talking heads - naive melody
14) kenny loggins - this is it
15) manzel - midnight theme
16) willie colon - set fire to me(inferno dub)
17) amadeo - memories

Yeah it's great isn't it - so different though from his mixes for 24 Hours and Cosmic Disco (both of which are brilliant). The guy has great range.

aside from the obvious highlights on this mix ("tusk"!), i will plump for "desperate for your love", which is gorgeous winsome prog-lite

i might like this even more than the 24 hours mix!

I wish I had tracklists for those mixes :-(

yeah, 24 hours tracklist u+k (i can identify about five or six things maybe)

BTW Vahid did you know that Jess of Jess & Crabbe fame is one of the curators of this Permanent Vacation comp:

Space Oddities - A Compilation Of Rare European Library Grooves from 1975 - 1984

a link to visti's "balearic monday" mix?
much love for his "Kodex 205"/ "Tokyo By Night" 12" but i also keep playing his "Jolene" to death as well.

balearic monday mix (and tons of other nice-looking mixes i haven't heard) available here

this past weekend i floated in my friend's pool down by the jersey shore while listening to my balearic playlist on ipod dock and it was :D :D :D

Okay let's try to do track ids for peter visti's 24 hours mix:

0:00 - ??? ("Captain, I think we're home/one thousand years later, where did I go?)"
5:59 - ???
13:51 - ???
20:03 - LCD Soundsystem - Us & Them (Windsurf's Any Color U Like Mix)
30:16 - Reverso 68 - Piece Together (Part Two) (THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER BTW - I should hunt down the vinyl for this b/c Todd Terje remix of Part One is also amazing)
37:48 - Santana - Mirage
42:30 - ???
47:02 - ???
52:30 - ???
59:27 - ??? (I'm positive I know this)
1:06:50 -
1:15:34 - Still Going - Still Going Theme

That Fred Deaking Nu-Balearica comp looks like it'd be pretty excellent in this style.

13:51 is one of visti's own tracks i think? "heaven is a disco"?

59:27- is this the very disco track? that's an idjut boys edit called "blow me slow"

DYING to know what 5:59 is

which Visti mix are you trying to figure out?

the 24:hours one

right, i got that part, but the most recent 'after dark' mix doesn't match this tracklisting you folks are trying to put together at all. so which one?

oh right, the other one:

http://2-4-hours.blogspot.com/2007/10/peter-visti-has-been-djing-and.html

dl'ing now

yeah 13:51 is 'heaven is a disco'..can't figure out anything else tho, i'm no help.

That's already been a help guys!

How about the Cosmic Disco mix? This is even more of a mystery to me.

0.00 - ???
6:00 - ??? (I love this one -"What do you see????")
9:47 - ??? (the cheesy piano in this is amazing)
15:34 - ???
20:00 - Human League - Being Boiled
26:35 - ??? (pretty amazing whatever it is)
30:40 - ??? (I adore this, it reminds me of early Soul II Soul - structurally occupies the same role as "Piece Together Pt 2" in the 24 Hours mix - "Calling you African people! This is an African court!")
35:53 - ??? (this sounds very familiar though - could it be Reverso 68 again?)
41:31 - ???
46:56: - ??? (Some cover or edit of CSN's "Fair Game" I think)
50:27 - Deadbeat - Port Au Prince
56:42 - ???
1:01:14 - ???
1:05:39 - ???
1:11:54 - ???

52:30 - ???

hot r.s. - slow blow (or one of the many edits thereof)

yeah, that's what i meant above, but i got the time wrong

15:34 - ???

this one is killing me--i think ive heard an edit of it somewhere? the bass is instantly recognizable.

oh sorry harlot i didnt see thats what u meant

a tip off :
A Mountain of One - Collected Works - Zavvi - £3
[you may have to dig in the random sale racks]
having heard this album, i now get why this thread is so full of love for the band.
wonderful.

am i the only one to hear shades of those london spaced out acid jazz'rs Sandals in AMO1s people without love ?

not a complaint though, as i loved the Sandals thing before it all fell apart under bad coverart choices.
