V.A. La Torre Ibiza: Volumen Uno

This is a 180gr 2LP in a gatefold cover. Compiled by Pete Gooding and Mark Barrott.

No matter the season or the nationality, every day on Ibiza, tribute is paid to Carthaginian deity Tanit at sunset. The warrior goddess of dance, fertility, creation and destruction lords over the Balearic island, as she has for centuries. Phoenicians, Assyrians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Arabs, and even the Norwegians have conquered the island since ancient times and every summer that history plays out, a similar array of nationalities descending on the island anew. Yet the soul of Ibiza remains intact. Every sunset still ushers in her arrival. That singular, sacred time on the island, taking on the feel of a pagan ritual, a shift in consciousness… the end of the beginning.
