The Balearic aesthetic is often revisited and honed into new patterns and forms, but it’s rare an album goes at it quite this hard. It’s highly recommended you listen to this all in one go, as the flow of re-edits and original material makes most sense taken as a whole. It traces the edges of the familiar elements that came together in the bars and clubs of Ibiza and other Spanish islands in the 1980s—new wave, pop-soul, electronic disco, African percussion, easy listening, bare bones house, and acid—but somehow as the album progresses, it all becomes more and more part of one single, deeper thing. It’s actually quite a profound experience as well as being a big fun listen.
