It’s the first time something like this has happened for months and months; the first glow of an approaching summer, whatever date the calendar is currently saying it is. The whole thing acts as a curative meditation, miraculously wiping away all the greyness of the past few months. Right now, optimism abounds, outlooks change and your daily soundtrack has shifted from spiky and uptight into a kind of cosmic space where songs ebb and flow and drift on like rivers run on forever towards the glimmering sea. Bliss, right?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re reading this, we’re assuming that you’re the kind of person who views summer as a state of mind rather than a good looking day on the BBC Weather app. With that in mind, we reckon you already know all about Heavenly Recordings’ series of untouchable, utterly essential Balearic Breakfast compilations, each one lovingly compiled by visionary DJ, producer and broadcaster \u003cstrong\u003eColleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy\u003c\/strong\u003e - the genius club legend whose radio show of the same name (broadcast 10am to high noon every Tuesday via Mixcloud) began as an escape route from the pandemic before rapidly building a global community of dedicated Balearican listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach \u003cem\u003eBalearic Breakfast\u003c\/em\u003e album has provided a spiritual getaway from the greyness of the everyday through a handpicked selection of glorious, psychedelically coloured, expansive music. It doesn’t matter where on the planet the music hails from, or when it was made, it just matters that it fits like a jigsaw piece into the musical whole. Be it off world jazz music or vocoder led robo-disco music; whether decades old or pressed to vinyl for the first time, everything on these flawless \u003cem\u003eBalearic Breakfast\u003c\/em\u003e collections just needs to flow together and bring the listener into the sunshine, whatever time of year they’re listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue for release this August, the fourth \u003cem\u003eBalearic Breakfast\u003c\/em\u003e compilation sees Cosmo take this head trip further than ever before. From the opening track’s swoop and glide that nods to Vangelis’ Blade Runner soundtrack before gliding into it’s own expansive voyage to the stars (\"\u003cem\u003eKandeen Love Song\u003c\/em\u003e\") to Cosmo’s own glorious Parisienne stroll through Saint Etienne’s recent \"\u003cem\u003eAlone Together\u003c\/em\u003e\" to \u003cstrong\u003eIlya Santana\u003c\/strong\u003e’s Spanish space disco anthem \"\u003cem\u003eCosmovision\u003c\/em\u003e\" - a track that rolls through like a turbo powered Supernature - and the phenomenal 2015 disco version of \u003cstrong\u003eGloria Ann Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e’s early ’70s classic \"\u003cem\u003eLove Is A Hurtin’ Thing\u003c\/em\u003e\", this \u003cem\u003eBalearic Breakfast\u003c\/em\u003e offers the perfect soundtrack to the summer, whether it’s actually happening outside or just taking place in your head. After all, they don’t call breakfast the most important meal of the day for nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heavenly","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":52290365325643,"sku":"R9546-8683","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/BalearicBreakfastVolume4_fa6e52d1-8ed3-44be-aaac-0cae72b27ddf.jpg?v=1752239554","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/colleen-cosmo-murphy-presents-balearic-breakfast-volume-4","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
