Is It Balearic? hit their late 20s with another superb release - this time Craig
Bratley steps up with 'Analogue Dreams'. Craig has earnt quite a reputation from only
a handful of releases, including the Weatherall favourite and classic cut 'Birdshell'
on Instruments Of Rapture.
On 'Analgue Dreams', Craig lays down a gently evolving, acid tinged Balearic techno
slow burner that transforms into a piano house cut halfway through - all mood and
melody. First up on the remix we have the ever essential Bonar Bradberry who amps
things up and takes a clonking bass riff down the club for a real good time.
On the flip Crimea X pare the musical elements right down and build an epic remix
from the raw ingredients, employing live percussion and shimmering synths - this one
has an organic acid house feel. Finally Joe's Bakery dial down the tempo and
incorporate some deft acoustic guitar and gentle moodswings alongside the musical
elements of the original for a proper Balearic soft rock swagger - tabla percussion,
strings, wobbling synth washes and a rock solid bassline make this a must for the
Balearic faithful.
