"Since His early Days with Planet Dog Records Banco De Gaia has offered up as much in the World/Techno/ambient genre as any of the established dj/computer/musicians of the day. He continues to travel the world in search of his own lost chord. On Farewell Ferengistan Banco revisits his Planet Dog days and at the same instance pursues further onward into the possibilities of a true World Dance Music, and oh yes! by all means don't be afraid to dance. Stand out groundbreaking tracks The Harmonious G8, and Flow My Dreams, The Android Wept. Hurry out and get this disc. Don't let the Starbucks crowd get the jump on you. Thank you Six Degrees for picking up Banco when Planet Dog left our Galaxy."
Farewell Ferengistan

"This CD does nothing for me.
The attraction that BDG has for me is its pulsating rhythm which uplifts you and carries you with it as it plays upon the tension of the melody the percussion and the chorus. "Last Train to Lhasa, Big
Men Cry, The Magical sounds of Banco De Gaia" is the encompassing musical experience for those who like the pulsating almost primitive sounds that "Banco" delivers.
The strength of Toby Marks is in his background as a drummer. Utilizing Ambient dub with Arabic and Middle Eastern influences he has created some of the most dramatic and exciting music of his genre.
"Farewell Ferengistan", is not one of them.
