  • Banco de Gaia - White Man's Burden (preview)
    Banco de Gaia’s Farewell Ferengistan captured the musical spirit and mood of his Last Train To Lhasa album but instead of being concerned with the situation in Tibet, the focus was on humanity’s globally precarious predicament. Musically the mixture of exotic and urbane we have come to expect from Banco, the album varies from downtempo, mellow and reflective to percussive, upbeat and insistent, taking inspiration from Kazakhstan, Mongolia and India as well as the authors Philip K Dick and Rudyard Kipling.
    The limited edition, numbered and physical-only 20th Anniversary Edition features the lovingly re-mastered original album, plus a second disc of remixes: some are from the time (soundcloud.com/androcell, soundcloud.com/bombayduborchestra and soundcloud.com/chlorophill), some were created afterwards (soundcloud.com/levente) while others were made specially for this release (soundcloud.com/dreamcycleinc, soundcloud.com/simonpowermusic, soundcloud.com/andrewheatharts, soundcloud.com/suddenreverb-2, soundcloud.com/the220project, soundcloud.com/professor_chill and soundcloud.com/mildreda).

  • Banco De Gaia - Shanti (Red with White Spots Original Master)(preview)
    Created to mark 20 years since the first release of the original album, the triple disc version of Maya sold out at unexpected speed, leaving many fans unfulfilled. After years of requests, soundcloud.com/discogeckorecordings present a new edition, limited to 1,000 copies and not available to either download or stream.
    Originally released in February 1994 on the Planet Dog label, Maya reached No1 in the independent charts in the UK and is considered by many to be one of the pioneering classics of global electronica.
    The first disc of the triple disc version contains the original album, which mixes beautiful textures, soaring melodies and slamming grooves with sounds and inspirations from the far corners of the world.
    The second and third discs feature unreleased alternative mixes of the album, including the original full 22 minute mix of Shanti; live recordings, such as Sunspot, recorded for the John Peel Sessions; and remixes by soundcloud.com/templehedz, soundcloud.com/eat-static, Veloce and soundcloud.com/100thmonkeymusic & Mr Noisy.
