^^ excellent!! you mean downtempo house for sure though right? (gotta say it's true that the genre hair-splitting gets annoying, but it's how you build a history. heh and a hagiography.)

my favorite "trip hop" track in recent memory is "over the breaks" by j dilla.

i've always thought that nu-balearic has far more in common with trip hop or downtempo or chillout or whatever than it does with any old-school balearic stuff
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 08:45 (fourteen years ago) link
^ esp true of quiet village remixes like this, anything on claremont 56, that fred deakin comp, etc.
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 09:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Chillout and its forebears especially. The Mudd and the Mudd/Smith albums remind me a lot of Ultramarine. Obviously Mungolian Jet Sets are obsessed with the first The Orb album.

i've always been trying to give fila brazillia credit for nu-balearic on ILX

I'm also a bit underwhelmed by II - and yet I LOVED LOVED LOVED Where You Go I Go Too, which I probably listened to more often than any other album in the second half of 2008. I miss the pristine precision, the emotional intensity, the sweep and the scale. Difficult to avoid the word "noodly" - which isn't necessarily a bad quality, but I was expecting rather more in the way of transcendence.

xpost - Yes, I got hold of Tirdgasjam before buying II, and so I thought II was going to be more of the same. Bah.

Wait, I totally had the wrong track on the Smalltown Supersound compilation. I <3 Meanderthals, they've lovely.
Except they have to go and stick that steel drum plug-in in the middle of the song, but I've come to just put up with the steel drums and the bongos on this kinda music.

Just about to listen to his Vascomaster cover on FP18 while I do a spot of light dusting around the house. Will I be delighted or disgusted?

what's the guitar sample at the beginning of Flue Pa Veggen? Trying to remember is driving me nuts.

"i feel space" and "the magnificent" were pretty sweet soundtracks for walking to early morning fringe events along brighton sea front at 7am this week

I found a load of remixes on Spotify and just swoooooooned to all the swoooooshiness.

His Doves-Jetstream remix is recommended (if only the Doves' lead singer had a better voice it would have been perfect).

What do you reckon that the Spectrum advertised at another Corsica Studios night is the one I like and not that Lairstep nonsense with the same name?
