Review

Alternative Press (9/99, pp.90,92) - 3 out of 5 - "...experimental.... [MAGICAL SOUNDS'] standout tracks...shift from slow-moving trance to seductive grooves flavored with African chants and Eastern melodies..."
CMJ (5/24/99, p.33) - "...Magical indeed...marries the robotic hue of techno to the throbbing bass of dub with the organic, luminous vibes of Middle Eastern melodies, vocals and percussion of produce an album that transcends the boundaries of genres and culture..."

Title Note

Banco De Gaia includes: Toby Marks.

This is part of Six Degrees' Travel Series.

Judge by the new-age travelogue cover of the digipak, and you can be forgiven for dismissing Toby Marks' latest long-player on first glance. However, those two, scuba fin-adorned feet in close proximity to the Kubrick obelisk perfectly capture the contradictory essence that is at the core of Marks' batch of magical new sounds. Still effortlessly combining a multitude of styles and genres in a Macaronic wall of sound, Marks further broadens the Banco de Gaia palette to sow progressive modes between the thick dance grooves.

"I Love Baby Cheesy" is a strident and delightful pastiche of oddball vocal samples, crashing waves of synthetic noise, African lutes, and charging electronics-rituals for the rave. Then there's the very un-Banco "144K?," brimming with computerized specters, backward loops that sound like the devil whistling, and vagabond strings set amid a lumbering beast of a beat. It all adds up to Banco de Gaia's coolest shade of pale yet.
