The impressive track-list includes the likes of the all conquering Indie monolith The XX, Claremont 56 head-honcho Mudd, Café del Mar resident Phil Mison aka Cantoma, owners of the mighty Is It Balearic..? label Coyote, right through to leftfield favourite Animal Collective and the Indie folk of Lady of the Sunshine. These, plus some hidden unreleased gems (from Blacklodge, Project club and FETE) feature on a mix that has been crafted as chill out for the Ipod generation.

Phil Mison, once legendary Café Del Mar resident and also the production act Cantoma that appears on the album is on hand for the track notes, and Mudd, also on the album, delivers the creative for the album design. These components combined with the blissful music selection to ensure that the full package on offer is of the highest quality. Like many genres that have gone before it, it is Balearicas time to move from the fringes to the forefront and Future Balearica is a compilation that should do just that, perfect for the under catered for chill out market.
