Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Toby Marks of Banco De Gaia has steered a fairly consistent course since his 1993 debut Maya. Often filed under "techno" in music shops, in fact his brand of spiritually uplifting music for mind and body only cherry-picks from this genre, adding elements of world music--particularly Middle Eastern styles--ambient dub and ambient. Magical Sounds, the first release on his own new record label, is a straightforward progression from previous work. The opening "I Love Baby Cheesy", the only consistently dancey track on the album, makes characteristically fine use of unusual vocal samples in the midst of an upbeat, rolling sound. Other numbers, like "Harvey And The Old One" and "144K?" mix a long and mellow introductory section into some later heavier beats. "Sinhala" is a wonderfully organic chant-based number; "Touching The Void" begins with rainforest sounds that flow into a nicely paced backbrain romp; "Frog's Dinner" is mostly spacey and deeply textured yet will get your hips swaying in its funky breeze. The closing "No Rain" is another upbeat track which nevertheless maintains an appropriate feeling of release and winding down. Overall, in a field where so many appear to consider unrelenting beats suitable for repeated home listening, this fine album succeeds because of Toby Marks' awareness and use of dynamics and space. --James Swift
From Amazon.com
Combining elements of world music with a techno aesthetic could easily end up sounding contrived, but in Banco de Gaia's hands, the combination is light, bubbly, and incredibly fun. The sunny momentum and cleverness of "I Love Baby Cheesy" alone makes this one of the best dance releases of the year. --Matthew Cooke
