A future classic! 9 May 2004
By "rezn8"
Format:Audio CD
A bold claim? For me, "You Are Here" is a magical soundscape of set pieces, wonderfully woven together with some thoughtful editing. Whilst this may not be an album to slam on and jump about to, there is a variety that will please most. From the foot-stomping "Zeus No Like Techno", the emotionally charged “Gray Over Gray”, co-written and sung by Jennifer Folkner, to the cheeky but fair “Tongue in Chic” (also co-written and sung by Ms Folkner). The organic sound has the clarity we’ve come to appreciate from Banco de Gaia, and is complimented by the textured, emotive and very believable vocals. My first listening to this album was by candle light, an experience that I can thoroughly recommend. But if you’re still not sure, pop across to the BdG website – www.banco.co.uk – and grab a free download of “Zeus No Like Techno (Radio Edit)”. You’ll be glad you did!

Starts well, then.... 17 Oct 2006
By T. SMEDLEY VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
I have always liked Banco De Gaia's music, I've got all the CD's, but I do find him a little bit hit and miss, ranging from Maya - OK, but not great, to Last Tain to Lhasa - excellent, with Magical Sounds Of... somewhere between. (By the way, if you haven't got Live at Glastonbury, shame on you, it's superb!)

Anyway, this CD starts off OK, what you'd expect from the man, the usual mixture of upbeat and ambient, then along comes 'Grey Over Grey' and completely kills the album. I've given it a chance and listened to it quite a few times now, expecting it to grow on me, but I still see no redeeming features of this track, it's so bad. Just grim (and I don't generally mind depressing/melancholic music!)

I find it even taints the rest of the album and I switch off (mentally), so the rest of the album seems forgettable. This is a shame, as there are some good tracks later on, but my interest is gone. Obviously you can skip this track, but I enjoy hearing an album as the artist intended and this song casts a long shadow.

Having read the more positive reviews for his new album (Farewell Ferengistan) I may again be tempted, but this one seriously made me consider buying it, especially following after Izigeh which was also patchy, though less so than You Are Here. Overall, a shame, as this is a disappointing album.

simply stunning! 10 May 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is the quite simply the most emotive and moving electronic music I have ever heard. Whether it's the dancefloor euphoria of 'Zeus No Like Techno' or the plaintive soul-searching of 'Still Life' I defy anyone to remain unmoved. Whatever you are into BUY THIS CD! After 2 or 3 listens I am sure you will find nothing else quite hits the spot and the likes of Zero 7 and Goldfrapp will sound like empty noodling. To quote Carly Simon "Nobody does it better".
