Neu Balearic ?

Lately i have become a little tired of 'bangers', and it's summer time, i prefer a slower tempo at this time of year.
Studio, Aeroplane, A Mountain Of One, amongst others, have been creating a balearic vibe for me, and Hercules And Love Affair's disco i absolutely love.
So here are a few tracks that make me want to don a poncho and travel back to Ibiza 1988!
Also included is a balearic classic in The Blow Monkeys La Passionara and a track by The Juggaknots that reminds me of my last summer in London.

Elektronik Supersonik

So, i was browsing through my play lists in youtube when i came across this, i had forgotten all about Zlad and his love rocket...





Hey baby wake up from your a sleep
We have arrived onto the future
And the whole world is become....

Elektronik, Supersonik,
Supersonik, Elektronik,

Hey baby ride with me away,
We doesn't have much time,
My blue jeans is tight,
So onto my love rocket, climb,
Inside tank of fuel is not fuel, but love,
Above us, there is nothing above,
but the stars, above

All systems gone!
Prepare for downcount!

5....4....3....1! Off blast!


Fly away, my space rocket,
You no need put money in my pocket
The door is closed I just lock it,
(Ha) I put my (Ha) port plug in your socket (Ha Ha Ha)

The sonic sky is bright like fire
You and me gets higher and higher
Cut communication wire
Only thing can stop us is flat tire

Ha, Ha, Ha Ha Ha Ha

Hey love crusaider
I want to be your space invader
For you I will decend the deepest moon crater
I is more stronger than Darth Vapour
Obey me I is your new dictator
For you is Venus, I am Mars
With you I is more richer than all the tzars
Make a wishes on a shooting stars
Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars!

Ladies and Gentlemen
Fasten your beltseats
We has commenced our decent
I trust you enjoy this flight
As much as you enjoy this accent

Now back on Earth its time for downsplash
Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash
People have arrived for cheer me from near and far
And as I float I open door and shout
"I am worlds biggest, washed-up superstar!"

(Supersonik, Elektronik)

As for sure as the sun rises in the west
Of all the seas and all the boats I am the bestest
come, let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger
Then like a smell around you I will forever linger
Ok, is time for end, no more will I sang
Let me take you back in time,
I want for you to experience big bang

Long live space race
Long live, Molvania

About Time

I thought it was about time i started a blog, i did want my blog to be JoelRa.blogspot but it seems that someone beat me to that, which is rather odd considering Joel Ra is my SL name and JoelRa.blogspot was created in 2005 ( i started SL in 2006 ) =O
Anyway, this blog will be a place for me to ramble on about things i like and dislike, and hopefully i'll get around to posting a few tunes at some point.
