Do they rule or what?
Am just listening to the classic "Maya" from the glory days of ambient (as it was called then) back in 94..
I notice it has been re-released on Disco Gecko, apparently set up by Mr De Gaia Toby Marks to release his own records (presumably since he has realised nobody else is interested in releasing his kind of dated prog-ambient sound).
Which is a shame becuase when I listen to it I feel like the last 10 years never happened...
Any other fans out there?

Last train to Llhasa is good - I have the quardruple vinyl version of that which is a nightmare - you have to change the record 8 times to hear the whole thing..
Good record though.
The track Lai Lah on Maya - listening to now at work - classic!

I've only heard one track, Drippy, off of the Pi soundtrack, and it's brilliant. Don't know why I haven't checked any of the other stuff out.

Look for the Lai Lai track on slsk or whatever.. its so awesome.
Reminds me of being at the old Whirl-Y-Gig club in London if anybody else is old enough to remember that place...

ill have that triple vinyl if you dont want it!
drippy is an dexcellent track aswell, more upbeat than most of it
maya is pure class though, his best work i reckon. how it all merges from one track to the next i really like that

Not triple, there was a limited version of Last Train that was quadruple!
Really, quadruple records are pretty unnecessary.. Loads of records were getting too long in about 94, I think that is why Aphex put out RDJ album that is so short - about 35 mins or something I think.

sorry thats what i meant
i have those extra tracks somewhere (i think)
there was a ltd triple cd to go with the normal double cd which is also quite rare
drukqs was also 4x, totally unnessesary imo, as 2 of the records even played at 45rpm honking the price up to 23 quid if i remember correctly

I am always a bit mystified why this kind of stuff is known as ambient dub..
I am a big dub fan and have a pretty large collections of old dub records, but have never really seen the similarity.. I think Banco type stuff has more in common with trance / techno than dub..

actually i KNOW we won't have that cd. i just checked and it's from 1994. despite being around since the '60s we have no cd's newer than 1996 :( pick something from a more recent album (late 90s specifically)... pick a specific song please

i have no idea.. it seems like they sold all their pre-1996 cd's or something. i'd ask, but no one i know (including professors) has been there since before 1996...
a lot of 1996-1999 cd's are missing, and that's cos of theft. i've stolen some cd's myself but only a few, and only ones no one would notice. plus it's half out of spite.
