Mark Barrott - Sketches From An Island

Out today on the ever quality International Feel label is this album from Mark Barrott, formerly of Future Loop Foundation and other guises such as Rocha, Young Gentlemen’s Adventure Society, Boys from Patagonia, Flights of Fancy and Bepu N’Gali. Rather good it is too, eight tracks of audio warmth evoking mental images sunsets and sunrises in the Med or even the Adriatic with hazy synths and simple rhythms recalling production work of late 70s and early 80s ambient (yes) pioneers.



In an effort to encapsulate the island of Ibiza and all the balearicness from over the years in sound form ,this obviously being the polar opposite of the current reign of the superclubs and the super egos of its residents, this was recorded on the North of the Island since mark moved there. I genuinely urge you to give this a listen as words fail to do it justice.
You can check out the website and the album is available digitally and on cd.
