Music Joan Bibiloni – El Sur LP (2024 Repress) Shop

Staying on the Mediterranean coast for their third release, Music From Memory this time shift their attention to the work of Mallorcan musician Joan Bibiloni.

Whilst Bibiloni’s first solo releases on his Blau imprint have stronger echoes of contemporary Jazz fusion of the time, it is on the album known as ‘Una Vida Llarga I Tranquila’ where Bibiloni really began to experiment with new sounds and technologies; fusing tape loops, drum computers and synthesizers.

Taking these more electronic infused works as a departure point for the compilation and drawing on material from across his following five albums, ‘El Sur’ sets out to highlight Joan Bibiloni’s unique ambient fusion and sundrenched Mediterranean beach boogie.
