John Cale's Brian ode "Mr. Wilson" is smoother than a lot of his 70s, but intense, rolling through the deeps: I'd like to live in the strings break for a while...funky 10CC Reminds me: a friend mentioned seeing Carlos Santana getting way into "I'm Not in Love." Will have to look for that.Jimi's Rainbow Bridge soundtrack is fine as shroom wine---"Pali Grap" is one of my all-time faves, can imagine David Mancuso playing it at the Loft of Spiritual Discovery (I also have danced to it, I think)(Also watch the movie, incl. hashish in surfboards in Hawaii, where Jimi speaks of space brothers, before playing for them and Earth):

Oh cool, thanks!First tyme I saw this thread's title, I thought of Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas.

The title of this doc doesn't inspire confidence, and I dimly recall finding RB entertaining enough, one way or another, but yknow more music so I'll prob check it out too, at least the audio version:Music, Money, Madness... Jimi Hendrix In MauiExperience Hendrix and Legacy Recordings announce a brand new feature length documentary Music, Money, Madness... Jimi Hendrix In Maui with the accompanying live performances on both audio and video.
Incorporating never-before-released original film footage and new interviews, the film chronicles the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s storied 1970 visit to Maui, and how the band became ensnared with the ill-fated Rainbow Bridge movie.
The deluxe Blue-ray and 2CD or 3LP collections will be released on November 20 and are available for pre-order now with exclusive merch bundles available at the Authentic Hendrix Store.
The video and audio for “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” from this historic concert is available today on digital services.

funny to see the rainbow bridge soundtrack ... chuck wein used to be a fixture at the cafe I hung out at every day 2000-2004. nice guy but he would go on ...

Oh yeah, think he was around the Factory too, maybe trying to get some Daddy Warhol bucks for this or other flick---didn't Lou Reed say he was the Chuck in "Wild Child"?I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suitAnd his wizard's hatHe spoke of his movie and how he was makin' a new sound trackAnd then we spoke of kids on the coastAnd different types of organic soapAnd the way suicides don't leave notes,Then we spoke of Loraine, always back to Lorraine

you all might be interested in this quasi-Balearic type playlist I made https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ODDwMMpnatOm0LrKhJN8M?si=QC4yvr-lQN2KRUrR1cE4QQ

that djhistory playlist contains so many of my favourite songs which I didn't for a second think of as "Balearic"
― Leighton Buzzword (dog latin), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 18:04 (three years ago) link
im still kinda amazed that the dude from Empire of the Sun put out one of the best dreamy/funky Fleetwood Mac/buckingham rips of last decadehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LCQ_7BQla4
― brimstead, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 18:18 (three years ago) link
xp. balearic must be the fuzziest genre term ever by its very nature
― rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 18:40 (three years ago) link
I mean yeah, that playlist has pretty much no througline whatsoever
― Specific Ocean Blue (dog latin), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 18:47 (three years ago) link
xxp tbh it's more kenny loggins
― brimstead, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 20:06 (three years ago) link
i think that djhistory list just reflects how it was more an approach to djing than a solid "genre" or whatever, like 'rare groove' etc, a focused eclecticism (ugh sorry), idk
― brimstead, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 20:11 (three years ago) link
I don’t agree theres “no throughline”
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 06:08 (three years ago) link
There's totally a throughline.

If people are still going "lol what's a balearic", this piece I wrote more than 12 (!) years ago is probably still my take:

The piano break in Magic Man is so reminiscent of one of those loft records but I'll never remember what

Still love that MJS album Tim xps
Seem to remember seeing a social media post from them recently that looked like they were working on some new stuff

Maybe I'll have more luck pushing this here than on the Soviet Pop thread, although I think it would get my desultory ass out of the hammock for a late summer boogie.

I was at the beach in Vama Veche today, which AFAICT is Romania's beardo hippie nudist mecca, and I started reaching the conclusion that there is actually a balearic cover version out there for every song. This was after hearing the balearic "no rain" (blind melon) followed by balearic "paranoid" (sabbath).

“As the 5AM city sleeps and the strobe lights are slowly turned off, we gather on the wrong side of town in a transcendental journey alone together. We are the late night disenfranchised holding on in various after parties, flats, lofts, random kitchens and basements into the outer cosmos with É Soul Cultura. Music from exotic tear jerkers, Afro-spiritual jazz, cosmic Brazilian celestial grooves, machine street soul, dark horses, lost B-sides, £1 bargain-bin bombs, hidden gems, late night Italo dubbing, deep velvet N.Y.C garage, bass buggin sonic futurism, wrong speed 33BPM pitched up +8 new beat, majestic sunset strings, sweet vocals from heaven, no half steppin jazz dancing in outer-space and odd numbers. Yes… magical moments, together, holding on in witness protection suburban cul-de-sacs and Castle Court flats. Cosmic É high, 3000ft above the city getting evangelical to murky, wonky timeless beautiful music. This thing of ours dreaming of better days. Fail we may, sail we must, the sun will come up again.”
