Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

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

^ esp true of quiet village remixes like this, anything on claremont 56, that fred deakin comp, etc.

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.

^^ QFT

ah, my brother

with you on this

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

LOL-ing at my own typo there.

wow youtube never fails to amaze

srsly that could be on "where i go you go too" and none of y'all would know the difference between 2008 and 1995

woops "where u go i go 2"

even more beardy IMHO

that's the only 90s Fila I don't have. Should I?

yes

woah that fila tune is really really great.

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.

now you're hating on steel drums and bongos? imo those are two of the most lovable instruments like evar

sigh

btw feelin that fila brazillia as well

this has less swooshy sounds than where you go I go too and in my books that is a +

Swooshy sounds are, to me, the most lovable sounds ever.

Swooshy sounds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sodding bongos

Kate I'm guessing i won't be seeing you on the UK funky thread any time soon then.

oh, Tim, where you go, I go, too. ;-)

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?

his = PT's

i dunno, but i just sb'd you for saying "vascomaster" again

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

surprised no ones talking about the magnificent which has been top of my rotation for the last few weeks

what's the guitar sample at the beginning of Flue Pa Veggen?

I have no idea - I sort of assumed it was them - but I love that track.

'the magnificent' is pretty sweet

I love the guitar!!

Oh, Hans-Peter, why is your psychedelic space-disco so delicious?

"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).

Can't make this but looks ace:

BUT I CAN!!!!!

Isn't that the thing that was supposed to happen at Magick Bus (whatever happened to that)

Damn, tickets not on sale yet.

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?

You can get the £10 earlybird tickets via Resident Advisor

Dammit, why am I on every mailing list for every RUBBITCH venue in London (and some in NYC) but not for one that has stuff I'd actually WANT to go to (like this):

(which I have now missed due to not finding out about it until today.)

x-post AWWW YEAH!!

I was complaining the other week when I had to sign up for RA to get mine Disco3000 podcast but now I am HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY as I get to go to the Scando-Balaeric Spacerock Ball!!!

you can get the RA podcasts from their RSS feed without being signed up

sshhh

I'm not complaining. The podcast was great, and getting early bird tickets is a happy bonus.
