Last Train To Lhasa

Released

Banco Di Gaia, aka former heavy metal drummer Toby Marks, is often held up as the archetypal hippie dance act of the 90s and not unfairly. Signed to the Planet Dog label affiliated with the sprawling Megadog raves, with tracks packed with transglobal source material, twinkly trance arpeggios and dub basslines, he made the soundtrack for untold mind expanding sessions. His best known album was this, a clearly very heartfelt tribute to the people and culture of Tibet, and while it couldn’t be more “of its time” it’s still a trip in all senses of the word.
