Sketches From An Island 3
Cat: IFEEL 045. Rel: 15 Jul 15
Right 4 Me (4:49)
The Mysterious Island Of Dr Nimm (4:31)
Cirrus & Cumulus (5:07)
Der Stern, Der Nie Vergeht (5:44)
Review: More quality Balearic goodness on offer from International Feel and its label owner Mark Barrott on the third edition of his Sketches From An Island series. Tropical vibes abound on this release. The feelgood, seventies summertime groove of "Right 4 Me" kicks things off nicely. "The Mysterious Island of Doctor Nimm" sets the scene for an Indiana Jones style scene with its epic soundtrack style. On the other side is "Cirrus & Cumulus" with its steel drums and birdcalls hypnotising you into bliss until that sweet synth solo comes creeping in. Lastly "Der Stern, Die Nie Vergeht" channels the the spirit of Ennio Morricone.

Bush Society (10:41)
Saviours Or Savages? (5:12)
Review: Say what you want about Ibiza, but the island has clearly spurred a new sense of creativity in Mark Barrot and his International Feel label. 2015 has seen International Feel on wonderful form, issuing records at a rate to match their initial rise and with the quality to match. Fresh off that excellent Gonno record, it's Barrot's turn to shine with the two track Bush Society 12" revealing the latest development in the veteran musician's sound. The title track effectively links two periods of Barrot's recent life, commencing with field recordings from his time in Uruguay and gradually unfurling into a ten minute epic that deftly nudges up the chug factor with aplomb as it goes. "Saviours Or Savages?" is a fine track too, a near perfect exercise in B-side Balearica.

Deep Water
Go Berri Be Happy
Essene
Back To The Sea
Review: International Feel boss Mark Barrott lays down a marker for what to expect from his forthcoming debut album Sketches From An Island with this limited no frills 12" sampler. Listening to the five tracks here, it's clear the much travelled Barrott has settled into life amongst the hills of Ibiza very very nicely as there's a sheen of serenity that ties everything together. Recorded using "weird percussion, some slide guitars and a few borrowed synths," inspiration for the tracks here and indeed the album apparently comes from listening to early mixtapes from Jose Padilla in the pre-Cafe Del Mar times, with Barrott attempting to convey the true spirit of Balearica. It's convincing enough for the Juno review team, we're just off to look into villa prices on Ibiza...

Review: ***B-STOCK: Creasing to corner of outer sleeve but otherwise in excellent condition***


Said to have been created after a long period of writer's block, Mark Barrott wrote much of Sketches From A Distant Ocean when he returned to his former home of Uruguay for the first time in a long while. The long break is said to have taught him about the value of self-expression and connection, and he returned to work with an invigorated enthusiasm. This has certainly paid off, as Sketches From A Distant Ocean shines through musically. Our picks are the sun kissed balearica of "Galileo", bossa nova-inflected island dreams of "Low Lying Fruit" and the evocative trip-hop journey of "The Rowing Song", which calls to mind his earlier output from the '90s as Future Loop Foundation.

Over At Dieters Place (Luis Delgado mix) (3:54)
The Mysterious Island Of Dr Nimm (Nu Guinea Aquarium mix) (5:16)
Der Stern, Der Nie Vergeht (Domenique Dumont mix) (8:07)
Review: Globetrotting producer Mark Barrott now presents several fine remixes of tracks from his brilliant Sketches From An Island 2 LP release earlier in 2016. First up CFCF (Paper Bag Records/1080p) delivers a wonderful rendition of "Brunch With Suki", reminiscent of late 90s, drum n bass influenced electronica. On the flip, there's a wonderful gamelan workout on Nu Guinea Aquarium's truly breathtaking rework that's just made for drifting. Finally there's some smooth laid-back disco vibes, '80s style on "Der Stern, Der Nie Vergeht (Domenique Dumont mix)" and that boogie baseline with those pan-pipes work with each other in perfect harmony.

Schopenhauer's Garden (4:50)
Emile (2:51)
Mokusho
Lysander
Review: According to International Feel boss Mark Barrott, Music For Presence is an attempt to broaden the evocative, downtempo sound he's been pursuing for the last few years. There's certainly a wider palette of influences on show, with opener "Shopenhauer's Garden" adding fluid synth solos to a backing track that doffs a cap to 1970s German synthesizer greats such as Tangerine Dream. The humid and sticky ambience of "Emile" sounds like Finis Africae jamming with Steve Hillage, while "Mokusho" blends cascading, life-affirming synthesizer motifs with spaced-out electronic beats and glistening chords. Closer "Lysander", with its bubbly electronics, cascading trumpet and impeccable piano work, could have come from the studio of Music From Memory regulars Gaussian Curve.

Tagomago (8:03)
Review: International Feel main man Mark Barrott has been unfeasibly productive in the last couple of years, releasing a string of fine mini-albums, and 12" singles, which touch on a variety of styles. This latest outing is every bit as magical as some of those excursions, with A-side "Cascades" offering a life-affirming blend of undulating, Tangerine Dream style synthesizers, soft touch, D.K style beat patterns, and breathlessly sun-kissed atmospherics. It's ambient, kids, but not as you know it. The Ibiza-based producer moves further towards Jose Padilla territory on the hot and humid, tropical-tinged flipside "Tagomago", whose combination of live instrumentation and blissful electronics is near perfect.

Travelling Music (8:40)
Chillin' 4 Work (6:55)
Arcade Scene (8:01)
Travelling Music (version reprise) (6:24)
Review: Having spent the last couple of years producing music for other people, International Feel main man Mark Barrott is keen to showcase some new music of his own. The tracks featured on Travelling Music were recorded in the summer of 2020, though this is the first time he's shared them with the public outside of his decidedly Balearic DJ sets. The title track - and its bubbly, sun-bright and utterly gorgeous 'Reprise' mix sibling - is loved-up and sun-soaked in the extreme, with Barrott layering lapping waves of Tangerine Dream style synth lines, kaleidoscopic counter-melodies and hypnotic, trance-inducing drums. Elsewhere, 'Chillin' 4 Work' is the Gentle People jamming with B12 and Vangelis after a fistful of happy pills, while 'Arcade Scene' is Italo-tinged analogue nu-disco.

Review: Despite a career in electronic music that stretches right back to the mid 1990s, this album marks the first time that International Feel boss Mark Barrott has released music under his own name. That's a surprise, but then the whole project - quickly recorded and mixed during a period spent living in Ibiza - has a delightfully spontaneous feel about it. Exotic, humid, atmospheric and richly immersive, Sketches From An Island sees Barrott in full on Balearic mode, laying down a series of instrumental soundscapes variously influenced by Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, Peter Green and the Orb. It's pretty darn good, too, sounding like a sassier, more cultured version of his 2007 Future Loop Foundation set Memories From A Fading Room.

Review: Drawn from a soundtrack Barrott was commissioned to write for the Japanese documentary Johatsu -The Art of Evaporation, this release explores ideas of living simply and focusing on kindness, grace and gratitude. Opening track, 'Kyoto', ripples into focus, floating through a blue-sky dreamscape and punctuated by hazy choral vocals. Another standout track, 'Icarus', is a jazz-electronic fusion piano piece, merging traditional instrumentation with a softly encompassing clarinet solo. A fantastic release from Barrott, taking contemporary Balearic to the next level.

Review: Written, produced and recorded in Sheffield and Ibiza between 2016 and 2018, Nature Sounds Of The Balearics is Mark Barrott's third full length album following up two volumes in his Sketches From An Island series.. The International Fell boss described the musical outcome as a techno album of sorts, with influences harking back to the days of Warp's Artificial Intelligence compilations or SSR's Freezone series (as heard on the zeitgeist of '90s IDM like "TRIX/Ichimoku"), chill out ("Donchian Reprise") and Detroit's mellower moments like on the evocative "Point & Figure".

Review: Globetrotting producer Mark Barrott has been creatively reinvigorated since moving from Uruguay to Ibiza a few years back. Here, the exiled Sheffielder serves up a second helping of Sketches From An Island, once again proving that his Balearic instincts are as sharp as ever. As with the first volume, Barrott focuses on sun-kissed positivity, variously blending head-nodding hip-hop beats, jazzy guitars, dreamy synths, hazy trumpet solos, Jose Padilla influences, Reichian marimba patterns, and a variety of knowing global influences. This is music to soundtrack sunsets, sunrises, lazy afternoons by the pool, and humid evenings supping ice-cold cocktails. In truth, few do it better than Barrott.
