Description
After the success of the first three volumes, Musica Sol Y Mar are back with a fourth installment of Balearic Sound for 2013. The album contains tracks such as ‘In Alto Mare’ from sultry Italian singer Loredana Berte who delivers a killer piano-led groove that has been a summer favourite in the Mediterranean since its release in the early 1980s; the dope slo-mo Cosmic groove of ‘My Baby My’ by US soul singer Sue Ann Cardwell which was a big hit on the White Island as well as being popular with the Afro and Cosmic DJs in Italy. The slo-mo theme is continued with The Alan Parsons Project’s mighty ‘The Gold Bug’ which the Quiet Village guys have been championing in recent years. Our Amnesia days are remembered with Switzerland’s finest duo, Yello and their inimitable ‘She’s Got A Gun’ which Alfredo often dropped in his warm up sets. Rock music has always been a key part of the Balearic sound and is showcased here by legends The Who and Rod Stewart. Rod’s sleazy groove ‘Passion’ has been revived in recent years by Balearic Mike and Joel Martin in England whilst The Who’s ‘Eminence Front’ has endured popularity in New York via David Mancuso and Larry Levan as well as Ibizan DJs. Jose Padilla’s enduring influence is written large in the songs by Jevetta Steele, Malcolm McLaren and Alphonso Johnson – perfect to soundtrack a Café Del Mar sunset. All tracks featured here are either long deleted on vinyl or are seeing a vinyl release for the first time and have been re-mastered for maximum quality. Enjoy Balearic Sound Volumen Cuatro!
