(Balearic) disco is dead; long live the (Columbian) Wu-Tang Clan!

It’s official: (Balearic) disco is dead. 20JFG says so , and posts a new Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas track to prove it. For your benefit (and for the sake of their bandwidth), here it is:
Lindstrom & Prins Thomas – Tirsdagsjam (Lang Versjon) (buy)
Let’s relive a few of (almost) Balearic’s greatest hits:
Lindstrom – I Feel Space (buy)
I Feel Space sounds like what it is: Balearic disco made some place where it’s cold and dark. Like the moon. Or maybe Norway.
Grace Jones – Williams Blood (Aeroplane Remix) (buy used)
Aeroplane knows Balearic and I hear that Grace Jones has some disco experience. Combine them and you get… uh… a disco start with a synth freak-out finish. And Grace’s autobiographical lyrics. Total awesome.
And next time you’re in Columbia…
…tell the Wu-Tang clan I said hi.

Boo, broken links on the first three mp3s.
Oh, thanks for the bug report. Turns out that / != \. Only breaks in Firefox (on Windows). Chrome and IE handle it fine.
