After a 10-year hiatus, Balearic Mike and Kelvin Andrews return to continue the journey of the Balearic Beat with
another edition of their distinguished Down To The Sea And Back compilation series, presenting a formidable new set of rare and
obscure records.
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 Laverne's 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.
