Biography

Inspired to enter the field of electronic music by Britain's acid house explosion of the late '80s, Toby Marks took quite a different spin on electronica with his recordings as Banco de Gaia, introducing elements of Eastern and Arabic music, sampling similarly exotic sources, and tying the whole to ambient-dub rhythms. Marks began releasing cassette-only albums in the early '90s, distributed… Read more in Amazon's Banco de Gaia Store

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 years old, but timeless!, December 29, 1999
By "meanian" (SW England) - See all my reviews
Get your wallets out people! Everyone I have pestered with this stuff likes it. To date, I feel this is still Banco's best work. As before, tracks 1,5 and 9 are the highlights. Very few albums can be played from start to finish with your undivided attention - this is one of them. An upbeat beginning...slips into typical electronica pace... followed with a mellow finale. Don't be put off by the 1994 release date, this is not dated! Original sounds, a moderate pace, plenty of funky bleeps and weird effects. The only downside are tracks 3 and 4. They don't go very far, but the rest of the album more than makes up for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely stunning, beautiful powerful music., March 3, 1999
By A Customer
This is the best album I have ever heard. Toby Marks is a musical genius. I can't understand why this album hasn't reached a larger market. Tracks 1, 5, and 9 are the best, but all are good. You can't go wrong by getting this CD. There's no way you'll be disappointed. Some parts do get a little weird and techno, but the rest make up for it. If you like synth, bass, and strong looping drum beat patterns, you will love this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disc and Seller Review, August 3, 2002
Excellent. I just got Maya today, along with another one by the same artist, but from a different seller. When I rated this seller, I was thinking of the other disc. Woops. Unfortunately, I cannot change a rating, so I had to do it here. I give the seller, kaikates (at Wherehouse Entertainment) 5 stars. Prompt shipping. Disc is new, still in the wrapper. Case is uncracked. Sorry for the mixup, guys.
