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


It's been over two decades since original Balearic heroes A Man Called Adam last treated us to a full-length excursion. "Farmarama", then, is rather a big deal - at least for those of us with fond memories of key early singles such as "Barefoot In The Head", "Musica De Amor" and "Earthly Powers". We can happily report that Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones are in fine form throughout, lazily drifting between jazz-funk fired dancefloor workouts ("Mountains and Waterfalls"), atmospheric chug-pop ("Ou Pas"), tactile Balearic deep house ("Farmarama", "Higher Powers"), blissful sunrise soundscapes ("Top Of The Lake"), and surprisingly out-there experimental missives (the music concrete style collage of "Spots of Time"). Sally Rodgers' tribute to early female synth pioneers, "Ladies Of Electronica", is also brilliant.
