Редкие треки, взятые с ключевых альбомов испанского музыканта с Балеарских островов Joan Bibiloni, охватывающие период его обширной карьеры с 1982 по 1989 год. Это продолжение серии Selected Works от NuNorthern Soul, идущей вслед за выходом двух EP Рё Кавасаки.

В сборнике, посвященном творчеству виртуоза с Майорки Joan Bibiloni, чувствуется оттенок бразильской ритмики и изысканный свинг в стиле Ивана Линса. Selected Works 1982 To 1989 объединяет 5 обязательных к прослушиванию композиций гитариста, который вырос в художественной среде, центром которой был поэт и писатель Роберт Грейвс и его островной дом Каналлун в изолированной деревне Дейя. Этот опыт позволил Бибилони стать свидетелем рождения Soft Machine, освоить мастерство игры и пройти путь через прогрессив-рок, участвуя в записях Дейвида Аллена, Кевина Эйерса и Gong.

Его собственная музыка сочетает фламенко-влияния с испанского материка и элементы из Северной Африки, Алжира и Марокко, создавая текучий фьюжн традиции, фолка и джаза. Бас-гитара играет как с ладами, так и без них. Песни представляют собой безсловесные скат-вокальные импровизации о синих морях и соответствующих им горизонтах. В некоторых местах его невероятная игра напоминает Пат Метени и Джако Пасториуса. «El Cumpleaños de Jaimito» — это буги, который качает так же, как Ли Ритенур джемует с Кассо и Юдзи Ториямой, в то время как, наоборот, Alfonsina Y El Mar — это мерцающая, изысканная, атмосферная микрохроматическая мираж.

В буклете будут представлены заметки, основанные на интервью, проведенных Марком Роуландсом, а релиз RSD будет содержать постер с изображением обложки.

JIMPSTER/ FREERANGE/ DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR
The Boogie is one of my all time favourites but I'll be honest, I don't know much of his other music so this is a real treat! Just listening now and it sounds beautiful so I'd love to get stuck into this properly.

DANIELLE MOORE/ CRAZY P
Phwwwooooooar. Track 2 is magnifico!!! In fact all of it. Fuck can we go abroad now please? Its a beautiful soundtrack to travel which Im missing desperately. It reeks wonderfully of sunny days good food good company and sunsets on Spanish shores.

COLEEEN MURPHY received vinyl
This looks amazing and I will have a listen. Sorry I haven't getting back to you. You won't believe this but I don't actually have a CDJ with USB capabilities so I can't play anything new unless its on vinyl. With no gigs, I just can't spring to buy one at the moment but I suppose I will have to. I'm itching to do a show with new music so if you have vinyl on things, it would be much appreciated.

RANSOM NOTE
Hope you are safe and well, afraid we are going to pass on featuring on site, love his music but no space at the moment unfortunately, great record! Thanks for sharing our way and wish you well with it.

Loving this to death of course, it's so sublime and Bibiloni's switch between those uber-balearic, wistful jazzy bits and outright synth boogie jams just keeps me engaged. Love that Phil is putting this out!

Balearic jazz goodness... Metheny-esque
