Just pre-ordered this

Good luck finding a nice one, but this is a lovely record. Wigged out uptempo synth nugget. Is it Balearic?

Worth seeking out the promo of this? Nice pressing, an interesting dub and a random 2 minute field recording of traffic noise!

Light dreamy pads, acid bassline and breakbeat drums. Sounds balearic to me.

Not sure if this is ‘balearic reggae’ or actually just ‘balearic’

As just played by Jonny Trunk on his radio show

I remember an old girlfriend’s mum playing this to me when I was about 17. I still think it’s one of the saddest records I’ve ever heard (the whole album is)

It sure is. Should have featured somewhere in The Wire. On a very different Balearic Reggae tip, what about Patra?
