this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

STROOM 〰 might be giving Music From Memory serious competition in the archival reissue business

Their Ingus Baušķenieks compilation is lovely. What are the best releases on this label? I got their album of unreleased Vazz material last year, that's worth checking out

This one is great:

Hey that is good. Looking forward to the new Domenique Dumont as well

sheer balearic bliss:

really looking forward to the Domenique Dumont album based on that teaser

that John Gomez RA mix is a joy, so is the recent Raphael Top-Secret in a similar vein

The Darling album on Young Marco's label "Safe Trip" is lovely stuff, really serene ambient house that owes as much to Gaussian Curve as it does the sounds on those Italian dream house compilations

Wow the Pablo’s Eye records are stunning.

for fans of Keysha's "Stop It"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAW-H94RXiU

Lovely stuff from Russia (I think)

One of these guys is DJ Sports. Not sure if this counts as Balearic

That MJ Lallo track above is right up my street

there's an MJ Lallo compilation coming soon as well!

I like those last 2 a lot

This track from the Still Corners album feels right at home here

excellent Hassell/Eno-inspired stuff from Kaoru Inoue

https://stubbed.bandcamp.com/track/we-are-launching-feat-jane-weaver

I don't really know Jane Weaver's music (or Stubb, who is another alias of Flash Atkins) but this is lovely - reminds me of the Open Space remix of "Freedom Of The Floor" but a bit more Cocteau Twins

I made a mix that people in this thread may enjoy: https://www.mixcloud.com/biznotic/same-dream-again/

featuring: Kelly Lee Owens, Taken By Trees, Primal Scream, Underworld, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Bjorn Torske & Idjut Boys, Tommy Awards and Mark Barrott.

Roman Flügel goes balearic? Themes 2LP on ESP Institute in October.

New Dream Chimney mix from Hatchback:

New Domenique Dumont is very good, a little more guitar jammy than the first one. Still fairly brief and beautiful.

yeh this rules
"sans cesse mon cheri" in particular is bliss

Does enjoying

Sry, mistap
Meant to say that hatchback mix is very nice

I agree!

I've been listening to it quite a lot, in fact

Open Space ft Harriet Brown - "Hot Weather"

I think this is the right thread to say that the "Who Are You" album by E Ruscha V is v blissed out, here's the title track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4kfGw7agMg

Pretty sure his Secret Circuit stuff is discussed upthread somewhere. so yes.

Recently been enjoying the Antoine Kogut mini album that taps into the sort of sleazy, Gallic pop that Air, Gainsbourg and Tellier often produce

Feeling those Antoine Kogut tracks

This is on The Trilogy Tapes, not known for their Balearic releases

This one's from a compilation of Rex Ilusivii's tracks on Versatile from earlier this year. He's also had releases on Vladimir Ivkovic's excellent Offen label

Oh damn...

Very nice !

A little different direction, more of a techno vibe, but still very chill

Been working my way through Picadilly Records' Compilations of the Year. Lots of good stuff as usual but the Club Meduse one is fantastic - comes across as a slightly more chilled version of those Psychemagik Magik Cyrkle/Sunrise etc comps (which is no surprise as it's on Danny's Spacetalk label).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj1hF2UPAgs

really good record that

Test Pressing have started a new thing called the TP Files where there'll be 320 MP3s of songs they're digging available to download.

First three are up today

http://testpressing.org/2018/12/tp-files-001-al-green-love-ritual-bwana-mix/

New album out early next year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIzhDffX9Q

That Club Meduse comp is very much my shit.

Another great jam from Smith & Mudd:

Pete Brandt's Method - What You Are (1980)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY320Jk82i4

Can anyone recommend bands that sound like Antena? Because I just got the reissue of the Camino Del Sol EP and it's ace

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo6xtPtvn-g

Some chilled out vibes from the Scottish Highlands inspired by Celtic mythology. This album was made with the assistance of Forestry Commission Scotland, which is something that I don't think that you can say that about most of the other music in this thread

Paolo, try Domenique Dumont

Thanks but I'm already into them :)

Figured it was possible! Always worth mentioning just in case.

Oh damn...

Finally got around to listening to this and I think I've finally resigned myself to something I have suspected for some time: the two volumes of Sketches From An Island--which I've listened to more times than I could possibly count--were a fluke. Like everything else I've checked out by MB, this recent album does nothing for me whatsoever. I'll try again, because in theory I'm a big MB fan (well, based on those two albums, anyway), but probably won't be buying this one.

This one is very different, but has its own charms
