Cohort Gaia

The Fall: Last Days of Gaia is a stunning 3D role-playing game set in a postmodern scenario that takes you to the year 2083. A global catastrophe almost wipes mankind from the face of the earth and you must survive in an inhospitable world. Violent gangs control society and club law is the only kind that counts.

Altered Realities collates most of Banco de Gaia’s remixes since 1990 into one authoritative collection. The very first remix was a baggy version of Beautiful Happiness’s Something Sonic, while the latest is a cosmic re-version of Youth & Gaudi’s Empress of the Tarot. A sonic Banco thread connects them all.

Digitally remastered and expanded 20th Anniversary two CD edition. 1995: fresh from finishing and releasing 'Last Train to Lhasa', Toby Marks, aka Banco de Gaia, rolled down to Glastonbury Festival to play on the Avalon Stage in the Field of Avalon. The year was one of the first times dance music had been given significant space at the festival, and Toby's set was much anticipated, with the marquee completely full by the time he came on stage. The set featured many of his most familiar songs, often given radically new arrangements, turning some previously un-danceable tracks into driving club tunes. Toby didn't know until afterwards that the gig had been recorded, but after editing to remove an unclearable sample, it was released by Planet Dog in August 1996.

For decades, the great percussionist/conceptualist Ra Kalam Bob Moses has explored many facets of creative music from throughout the world, finding generations of willing collaborators and mentees along the way.

The magical music of Brazilian composer/guitarist/pianist Egberto Gismonti has enchanted generations of listeners.

Composer/arranger Gaia Wilmer fell under Gismonti’s spell as a youngster and now honors him with her new large ensemble recording, Folia.
