this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

ya it's fabulous. Larry Heard via Italo <3

last 2 posts itt changed my life

this comp is so good - pbvynil already sold out :-(

Vinyl is sold out everywhere but it's getting a reissue I think.

there's a Young Marco Boiler Room set from a year or two ago where he plays half the stuff on the compilation while Dutch ravers enjoy the sunshine and it just looks like the most fun imaginable. Do we have a general "Italo House c or d?" style thread?

The Jex Opolis album is really good, especially if you like 80's synth vibes.

new comp from Fergus Clarke and JD Twitch - Miracle Steps: Music From The Fourth World 1983-2017 - may be of interest to the denizens of this thread. Fantastic stuff

^^^ cosign

loving that comp so much

best track on the jex album imo

^ That was the one I wanted to post but wasn't on YouTube last week (well, couldn't find it anyway)

Been listening to this great mix from Cedric Woo this week:

https://banbantonton.com/2017/05/02/mix-cedric-woo-all-night-at-brilliant-corners-part-2/

loads of really good mixes from brilliant corners lately. i dunno when they got on the balearic bandwagon, it used to be mainly disco, but they seem to have had a string of people playing the last few months. still not a partic huge fan of the space tho, too small and full, even tho i live fairly near.

Wolfgang Voigt's RA mix has the balearic vibe 4sho

"this sounds like a middle aged woman's spotify playlist, however, I enjoyed it more than any other RA podcast in a year or more"

Welcome to the Balearic club

the Italian Dream House comp is ridiculous

For those of you who slept on the vinyl, Claremont 56's 10th anniversary compilation is now on Bandcamp. https://claremont56.bandcamp.com/album/claremont-56-10-years

This album sounds like it will be very good indeed:

New Jonny Nash & Suzanne Kraft collab is extremely horizontal

Super mix from Dr Rob featuring new and forthcoming releases from Gaussian Curve, Talamanca System, The Swan & The Lake, Tommy Awards et al:

https://banbantonton.com/2017/05/24/mix-chocolate-milk-and-brandy-may-june-2017/

Thanks for the link, this is a great mix. I also wasn't aware that Chee was planning to reissue Yoshimura's Pier & Loft. Excellent news.

talamanca system album is A+

yeah, it's fun. good stuff for the summer

this might be known to many of you but heard it in so many mixes without ever id'ing it until today - such a great track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQZESJ2Pga8

and another one:

and one for the road:

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

this might be known to many of you but heard it in so many mixes without ever id'ing it until today - such a great track:

One of the charnock richard boys posted this just last month. they were more innocent times at the welcome break back then

Ha, yeah the Rare Silk was posted a little bit upthread. Great tune

A couple of Witch albums were reissued a few years ago. Original not on Youtube but this is a tidy track too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_9r30pSUgk

So I just received this as a birthday present, with thanks for the recommendations:

This looks like it will be really good:

So far it is wonderful!

can anyone help me find a dj/musician in the house/balearic vein - i remember hearing a boiler room set a few years ago, he puts on some music and then plays (i think) flute over it? very mellow.

been trying to id this for about a year. finally :) what a tune!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtM8rkELVYs

the new Suzanne Kraft & Jonny Nash album Passive Aggressive is so good, clearly all that time Nash has spent hanging around Gigi Masin has been very useful.

don't know where else to put this beautiful mellow track, it's been owning me lately. the flute, piano, and vocals are paul horn and joni mitchell from the 1974 horn album visions. don't know where the rest comes from. blue heron - "paul's blues" 2015 on mood hut

Emotional Rescue are reissuing Jah Wobble's Lago Record's output from the early 80s as The Lago Years album.

Lexx favourite Blowout is all time

It is indeed.

Comp of the year for me (so far) along with the Young Marco one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvXSK1LTx9s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnxgvDo8rxY

why did I only just discover Ban Ban Ton Ton? Lots of good mixes and suggested listening wormholes to fall down.

Probably reposting this but came on shuffle... what a jam

https://youtu.be/WTnTFRDXqIo?t=11m18s

that tune is amazing! didn't know what it was but heard it in a jamie tiller mix and been wondering for a while, such a great piece of music.

Avid lurker of this thread, enjoy p much all your admissions in here (being in Spain for two months helps, as cliche as that may sound), but the Tharsis Montes, man, that is indeed a jam, so great.

Not balearic exactly but words are just tools to box us in and divide us. other than 'genial' that is a word to key into the car of a neighbour as part of hi-jinks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny4R5h3pPKA

Nice! Is that your tune?

this album is great - this track a very good deep groove!

Nice! Is that your tune?

― elan,

Unfortunately not, mine don't have that peaceful joie de vivre. Someone left a tape in the car park at Morrisons. I picked it up and tried it out in the Hyundai Accent LC I had hired for the week, and then this happened, reverie flew throughout the valley and crime figures were reduced

Is that FBR on an album or just the EPs?

the album is on spotify - i think it might also be on vinyl, feel like i saw it somewhere as a whole album.

Balearic mates did you have this dream too?

Forthcoming on Basso's Growing Bin:

Nice write up by Dr Rob over on banbantonton

Thoroughly enjoying the Phil Mison comp referenced above, thanks for the heads up.

Balearic mates I woke from my dream but the spirit of the balearic feeling is still around. I borrowed a phone and recorded some balearic people vibing in the local waterways have a great day

xp the comp has sent me down a Mison mix wormhole, he's been doing some loooong mixes at Spiritland eg. https://www.mixcloud.com/Spiritland/phil-mison-at-spiritland-11th-march-2017/

between Guassian Curve, his solo album, and his collaborative album with Suzanne Kraft, I feel like Jonny Nash is really doing a lot for 2017
