Just got this yesterday. My first taste of Banco de Gaia. Quadruple vinyl! Certainly pleasant enough. I didn't really know what to expect. I can see myself mellowing to it quite happily but it didn't make me sit up and think "Wow, this is great". Definitely good value though, £10 for 4 discs, can't be bad. Lots of love Tim One of the least common things in the world today is: common sense.
