Hastings-based Los Twangueros have done a nifty cover of the chemical brothers star guitar ! out on Holy Riot, a new label launched by giant Tim (arguably the most balearic Manc in the business) https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=3168398559/size=large/tracklist=false/artwork=small/ ---

this is the balearic before balearic cut on that album. proof that we invented this stuff before some brits went to ibiza in the 80s. Incidentally, also why I never cared for Ibiza and only really clicked through listening to baldelli/beppe lota tapes - although even then one has to airbrush some of their more (shall we say) stoner tendancies. But Italian mediterranean is closer to Turkish mediterranean than Spanish. Same kind of absurdity and pain and psychosis. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-N4wiSDVxWQ?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque also https://www.youtube.com/embed/-qExNdIaL60?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque and from 1973 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/46UNsZSoZuY/maxresdefault.jpg "Gökçen Kaynatan - Evren (Extended Version)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46UNsZSoZuY) ---

Not sure if this has already been posted or not. Went down a We Love You rabbit hole and ended up here, 1990, a Wang Chung and a Culture Clubber.
