An extraordinary double disc (1995) offering from ' Banco De Gaia ' . This ones worth getting for the title track alone which begins with a steam train slowly panning across the stereo spectrum followed by sampled station voices mixed with sweeping synth pads. In comes some sparkling plucked string arpeggios and eventually solid rhythmic beats/ bass join in with again sampled vocals. Very atmospheric and multi layed , this just builds and builds in sync with the steam train. Absolutely awesome work here which the rest of the CD cannot quite compete with , superb as it is! I'd say this is probably ' Banco' s ' best song ever here. An absolute gem!

The whole of the 2 discs are really all excellent though with lots of tribal and oriental sounds throughout. Fantastic display of sampled instruments / vocals too! Very high calibre chillout and especially outstanding is ' Kuos ' a long suite which totally hypnotizes you. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
