'Maya ' was my first introduction to the wonderful music of ' Banco DeGaia ' who is by the way ,one ' Toby Marks ' .from the UK.
Although initially releasing several casettes this was his debut CD. It's a really excellent electonic music you have here. Absolutely filled with flowing rich spacey rhythms / melodies and cross cultural influences with ethnic embellishments. Basslines and synth arpeggios play an important part in his music and they are fantastic on ' Maya ' particularly on tracks like ' Heliopolis' and ' Sunspots ' .Trance and Psy styled ...yes! But definitely done with great style.
A supremely enjoyable CD then and still probably my favourite next to his ' Last train To Lhasa '. Every song here is really spectacular and if you don't know his music this is the one to start with. Nice colorful artwork too to match ...
Advantages: Dirty, old, only cleaned once a week Disadvantages: The pool
The Voranova hotel was about half an hour from the airport and cost about 25euros, split between two, so wasn't too bad as the hotel transfer coach you could also book cost as much together and took about 2 hours stopping at every hotel that existed!
The hotel was in a good location, a few minutes walking distance from Palma Nova town centre and the beach. It was also about 10-15minutes walk to the centre of Magaluf. We got a bus to Palma City one day and this took about 45 minutes and was very crowded.
Just across the road from the hotel was a large supermarket and several shops including a pharmacy, there was also a taxi rank and bus stop.
The hotel being in Palma Nova rather than Magaluf was good as it wasn't too noisy and busy at night. There were plenty of small bars and resturants in Palma Nova. The hotel also had ...
An extraordinary double disc (1995) offering from ' Banco DeGaia ' . This ones worth getting for the title track alone which begins with a steam train slowly panning across the stereo spectrum followed by sampled station voices mixed with sweeping synth pads. In comes some sparkling plucked string arpeggios and eventually solid rhythmic beats/ bass join in with again sampled vocals. Very atmospheric and multi layed , this just builds and builds in sync with the steam train. Absolutely awesome work here which the rest of the CD cannot quite compete with , superb as it is! I'd say this is probably ' Banco' s ' best song ever here. An absolute gem!
The whole of the 2 discs are really all excellent though with lots of tribal and oriental sounds throughout. Fantastic display of sampled instruments / vocals too! Very high calibre ...
