BANCO DE GAIA

 

BANCO DE GAIA


The band have a good website - here with much information on.

According to Pete Chambers (Godiva Rocks)-

"Banco De Gaia (Meaning Bank of the World) - or Toby Marks - based in Leamington - along with the likes of the Chemical Bros and the Orb has made himself one of the leading forces of Ambient trance dance scene. His diverse musical background (having played Bhangra, Heavy Rock, Classical and Jazz) has given him and his music a sense of unpredictability and constant development. His creations move with atmospheric backdrops, subliminal decoration, always evocative, always inventive.

The master of chill-out began his creative plan with his own Planet Dog label. Using the sound he had heard on his travel, he perceived the ground breaking album Maya charting at 34 in 1994. By 95 he had moved on musically and the masterful Last Train To Lhasa attained a credible 31 in the national album charts. The mid nineties brought Live at Glastonbury / Big Men Cry / Igizeh (partly recorded inside the pyramid at Giza)."

Coventry drummers Ted Duggan and Paul Brook have played for Banco De Gaia.
