We have finally managed to get all the masters for the second installment – a not inconsiderable task given that some of these tracks are rarer than hen’s teeth!
The compiled master (this one’s a double CD) have gone to Kelvin and Mike for them to check and hopefully we’ll be able to start artwork and production in the next couple of weeks.
Given that, we’re looking for something like the end of September for the release.
Sorry it’s been too long, but this kind of quality takes time.
Thanks for bearing with us.
And, just as a little taster, this killer rework by Leo Elstob of a Sam Sallon beauty is one of the tracks to make the final cut.
As you’ll see from the previous post, the very lovely folks at Piccadilly Records did indeed make Vol.1 of ‘Down to the Sea and Back’ their compilation of the year.
Nice.
Suitably encouraged, Kelvin and Mike have finalised a tracklisting for Vol.2.
Fearing the worst, Amanda and I have girded our loins and managed to license the lot – not an always easy task given the choices of our esoteric leaders.
So, the plan is that it’ll be out on 11th July – Balearic behaviour allowing!
As luck would have it, Kelvin and Mike are hosting a ‘Down to the Sea and Back’ boat party that very week at the very marvellous Electric Elephant festival in Croatia.
We hope that’s put a smile on your face and look forward to bringing you the 2011 compilation of the year in July.
We are very excited to hear that Piccadilly Records- the best record shop in the world- has graciously bestowed upon us the coveted prize of Compilation of the year.
I was wandering about YouTube and came across this live appearance from last year by Bilgeri of ‘Video Life’ at a German Festival. A slice of what we had all taken to be a lost gem for the Balearic Beat aficionado right there on a big stage in a field amongst the Bratwurst. Classic. When [...]
Whether you call it Cosmic Disco or Cosmic Balearic Beats (or any combination!), people are often unsure what it really means. We often get asked this question and it’s not one that we can easily answer. The chances are that if you know about us and the first compilation album, and you’re reading this, then [...]
If You’ve already got your hands on ‘Down To The Sea And Back‘ then Thank You! All the reviews we’ve had so farhave been amazingly positive, so have a look and let us know if you agree. Your comments are required oh Balearic ones If you haven’t heard the album yet then maybe these reviews [...]
Kelvin’s latest mix might be what you’d call Balearic – maybe not, but what it is undoubtedly is a glorious rummage through the mellower parts of his considerable vinyl vault. A promo mix for the regular Altiplano nights in Liverpool where Kelvin has a residency this gives you an idea what you might expect from [...]
We weren’t sure whether we were going to put this up as we wanted to keep it semi-secret (i.e. go and look for it yourselves), but as some of you have been asking so nicely for it, we thought we’d treat you. So here you go, the tracklisting for the 2CD “Down To The Sea [...]
