'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 ...
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 ...

James Lovelock
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Earth is not a disparate collection of oceans, land and air populated by simple and complex life forms. It is a single entity where everything within the planets biosphere colludes to form a cybernetic system which actively seeks to maintain an optimal physical and chemical environment suitable for sustaining life.
This is the underlying theory of Gaia as first proposed by Professor James Lovelock in his book 'Gaia - A New Look at Life on Earth'.
Published in 1979, Gaia is a refreshing and challenging proposition that seeks to redefine how we view the planet we live on. Since it was first published the Gaia theory has had a rocky time, variously attacked by the scientific community and championed by some of the more extreme ...
