Banco De Gaia - Farewell Ferengistan (Levente Remix)

PREVIEW / DOWNLOAD

m sure Banco De Gaia will need no introduction to the majority of people. Toby Marks, the creative force behind Banco De Gaia, is one of the worlds leading exponents of globally inspired eclectic electronica. Mixing electronic and accoustic instruments and voices. Banco De Gaia cut his teeth on the early 90s , and his numerous albums since then, have hit number 1 in the UK charts and been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.. so we are very proud to release this single on Baroque

Levente currently resides in San Francisco, capable of both. moody & dark moments or floaty & uplifting.. his style is very unique and extremely engaging.. he loved the original of this tune so much, that he just had to remix it, and what you hold in your hands is the result.

a clean beat intro quickly gives way to that moving melody line from and then the bass squeezes in, clever production & clanky industrial percs give the groove some depth before layers of moving melodies glide. The ethnic effected vocal lifts the tune again as the mix drops and builds.. losing the melodies then bringing them to the fore once again.. it really is stunning stuff

Thanks to both Banco De Gaia and Levente for letting us bring this one back

None of his albums have hit #1 in the UK charts. His highest chart position is #31.

This is a very strange release as well. Didn't the original come out three or four years ago? A prog house remix of Banco De Gaia might be big news if this were 1995, but it's pretty weird to randomly remix an oldish track by him in 2011. Not a bad track, based on the sample, but very bizarre that it exists at all.

Seems like an odd choice to do a remix of. Felt that track was suitable as an introductory tune on the album, but didn't strike me as anything Single worthy.

May as well have remixed The Harmonious G8. /BdG geek
