5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest gaian album, April 25, 2003

This review is from: Big Men Cry (Audio CD)

This is trainmusic. It is also music hard to review since it hits the gaian, spiritual part of your mind more than your simple human intellect:-)...but I'll give it a try.
Banco De Gaia has always been onto something big, but somehow the music has been to mature to really excite. This is not the case with Big Men Cry. Still mature it also has the feeling of a sane child free to play. Hence this is the best album by the man. With tribal drums, exotic voices and live recordings of engines, mixed with alien electronic tweeked tones, fat base and also "silence", it has the capability to give you an out of the body experience towards the end of the album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Galactic Distances., January 26, 2007

By 

dream factory (Triangulum, M33) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Big Men Cry (Audio CD)

Toby Marks writes ecclectic electronic dance music; great. But what I came across on this CD were tracks 6 & 7. Polished well produced electronica space ambience. Not mysterious. Yet not new age....#6 "One billion miles out" tracks an elliptical heliopausal journey to the edge of our solar system. Kuiperian chants mix with intangable inner space communications to fill the dark void....#7 "Starship earth" is an intense (20 min) evolving oversized production. Somewhere out there filamentous infrared cirrus sounds support a base for various eclipsing binaries. Ghostly protogalactic hollow voices hold your attention while wonderfully balanced sound waves support the fabric of this space project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Less techno/electronica - more for ambient music fans!, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Men Cry (Audio CD)

Personally, I found this album to be my favorite from Banco de Gaia. More ambient and mellow than his other works, I feel that "Big Men Cry" contains much more depth than the other albums and expands onto more creative grounds. The songs "Celestine" and "Big Men Cry" are both masterpieces yet very different from each other. True, this is an album that is more for the mind than for the feet, but maybe Banco de Gaia wanted to create a more introspective and atmospheric album this time around.
