VARIOUS – Down To The Sea & Back: Volume Tres. The Continuing Journey Of The Balearic Beat (Compiled By Balearic Mike & Kelvin Andrews) – 2LP – 180g Vinyl

2LP – 180g Black Vinyl housed in a Deluxe Gatefold Sleeve with with exquisite artwork by Andy Votel. Includes extensive liner notes.

With Vols. 1 and 2, the well loved duo showed us that not only are they serious collectors but chroniclers of a scene, assembling lost gems and unheard marvels into Balearic mythology. Reaping, along the way, accolades such as Piccadilly Records Compilation of the Year, and featured on Lauren Lavernes BBC6 Music show.

For Vol. Tres, Mike and Kelvin team up with Copenhagen-based Music For Dreams label themselves no strangers to the Balearic archives. The compilation features 16 tracks, every selection accompanied by an essential background story in the liner notes of the gatefold vinyl and CD booklet.

As fellow comrade and beloved friend Luke Una puts it: From Greek acid folk, Balearic bossa, outsider pop and electronic chug, to cosmic machine soul, majestic songs, odd numbers, proto-techno new wave to dubbed out 5am technoid, bass buggin deepness and ethereal outer-space Detroit via San Francisco. This album is a story. A story from the heart, with over three decades digging and grafting in the trenches. In a world of faux, pastiche, counterfeit and aggrorhythm fakes, it oozes a wholesome intuitive authenticity. Majestic songs, odd numbers, cosmic dreaming and late night astral travelling as we all hold on together.

The compilation album with exquisite artwork by Andy Votel is available on Deluxe Gatefold 2LP on Heavyweight 180g Black Vinyl. Glass mastered CD with booklet and digital for the streamers and downloaders.
