The Mouse on Mars release is one of the best stuff out in '94, the single released before the album has a very cool dubby track. On other stuff, I picked up a strange compilation called something like "...Cafe Del Mare..."? Anyway, good stuff on it that I haven't heard before, mostly ambient-technoie from Sun Electric, UnderWorld, Sabers, and others. The info says it was compiled at the above said cafe in Spain, and the Meditarranean sound is definitely there. Mohsen

I think maybe it's Cafe del Moar?? Light blue cover? This thing was selling like hotcakes when it came out a few weeks back. I don't have it but from what I heard I will. I really liked the fact that there is a large variety of music on this thing. t -

Almost certainly "Cafe del Mar". The name's been used many times by different people. It's actually the name of a club in Ibiza.... Cosmic

First, where is Ibiza? There's a label called this (or maybe Ibeza)... breakbeat stuff... second, doesn't the name and club Cafe del Mar have something to do with Jam el Mar (sp?) of Jam & Spoon..?? -kc

I was always under the impression that Ibiza is in Spain, and I may be wrong but Ibiza has always been used as an adjective to describe some really happy upbeat housey garagey anthem type song like "Los Americanos" by Espiritu or something like that. This probably has no place on IDM but I'm sure someone can give you a definitive answer on uk-dance. Also, Cafe del Mar has nothing to do with Jam el Mar but is kind of related as it is the name of a track by Cosmic Baby and Kid Paul who go under the name Energy 52 on Eye-Q records. Well, they're all from the same country... Jonathan eabu751@orion.oac.uci.edu BTW haven't heard it but it looks like Plavka has ruined the best song on "2001" which is called "Odyssey to Anyoona" with her vocals... oh well.

Yeah, it's a popular holiday resort among the Brits. I believe it's quite important in rave history, but that's before my time.... Cosmic

I've no idea, but "Cafe del mar" means "Cafe by the sea" Cosmic

>First, where is Ibiza?

Ibiza is one of the Balearic islands in the Mediterranean off Spain and one of the most popular overseas holiday destinations for people in Britain. The clubs there were a major influence on the development of the British rave scene circa '88-'89, with people like Boys Own, Shoom, Flying, etc. attempting to recreate over here what they'd seen on their summer holidays. A lot of the DJs there at the time (Alfredo is generally cited as the most influential) had a style of playing happy tracks from across a range of genres that just happened to feel right in the mix, earning it the 'Balearic' tag. These days most of the clubs are more straight housey with a never-ending succession of British DJs guesting through the summer. Cafe Del Mar is a beachside cafe and one of the few redeeming features in the 'town' of San Antonio, which is otherwise a touristy dump. To help you relax they play nice restful ambient stuff, more in the sort of ambient house style than the darker North European or neo-hippy bollocks that seems to have taken hold of late. It's attracted lots of musicians and DJs when they've been out there, hence it being immortalised on a couple of tracks and main DJ Jose Padilla getting to put together a compilation of Cafe Del Mar type tracks.

Yup, from London, no idea why they chose the name.
