There are some records that just seem to define Balearic dance music. They never seem to go away. They're reprised in slightly different forms every year and are iPod essentials. Addicted's selection is below, but if there is anything we've missed out - let us know!
5. Cafe del Mar - Energy 52
The record that became even more famous that the San Antonio bar that named it. It's been remixed more times than anyone can count, but the 1997 original is a must.

4. Papua New Guinea - The Future Sound of London
Designed for listening to while the sun goes down, this record has spawned many imitators. Sunglasses are suggested while you play this track.

3. Born Slippy - Underworld
Trainspotting was the seminal film of the 1990s and this was the seminal theme which never tires.

2. Insomnia - Faithless
Last reprised in 2005, Insomnia is an undisputed hands-in-the-air classic. Faithless played a number of sets at Pacha Ibiza last summer and while they currently have no plans to return this year, their music certainly will.

1. For an Angel - Paul van Dyk
Revamped again for 2009, this is truly a tune that never dies. If you want to do Ibiza like it was in the late 90s, the man himself will be playing selected dates this summer for Cream at Amnesia.
