Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Toby Marks--aka--Banco De Gaia, has been pumping out his own brand of globally conscious techno music for a remarkable ten years. X Marks The Spot is a collection of his works so far; nineteen records culled from the six artist albums he's put out--an impressive achievement in itself in the ephemeral/disposable world of DJ culture. There are many classic and instantly recognisable tracks here, and listening to them all in one run serves the purpose of reminding us what an adequate and often thrilling producer Marks is. In a dance scene saturated with techno/ambient producers, not many of them can match his way of combining seemingly disparate elements of sound--ambient, prog rock, dub, electronic--into a fibrous but cohesive and atmospheric whole. The layers of sound and deep, emotive textures just keep on coming, as tracks like "Last Train To Lhasa", "Obsidian", "Kincajou", "Drunk As A Monk", "Desert Wind", "Sinhala", "Touching The Void" and "Celestine" engage the mind and fuel the feet, and reveal one of the electronic scene's most talented and independently minded individuals.--Paul Sullivan

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Compilation, 7 Jan 2004
As a Banco Fan for many years this album sums up what a creative genius Mr Marks is.

2 CD's - an uptempo one and a laid back one, choose the cd for your mood and away you go.

Keep up the good work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only newbies need enter here, 18 Jul 2003
By C. R. Cheesman (Abergavenny, Gwent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lets face it - Toby Marks is a genius, and I'm one of his biggest fans, BUT (and you knew there was a but coming) for diehard fans who have followed his musical journeys over the last ten years and own all the CD's, this is a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, the tracks are brilliant, but we've heard them all before. Which makes you wonder...who is going to buy this CD? Well if you've never heard the range of his music this is an excellent introduction. But if, like me, you've been with him all along its probably best to stick to the remixes.
