Last Train to Lhasa is an album by Banco de Gaia which was released in 1995. It was released as double CD or triple LP. A "Special Limited" 3 CD/4 LP edition contained three additional remixes. It is widely assumed that the album's techno and ambient compositions contain sampled chantings of the people of Tibet but in fact there is only one Tibetan sample on the album. The title track's chant sample is 'O Molle E Kuqe' by Albanian Popular Music Ensemble of Tirana. The album reached No.31 in the UK's Album Charts. It would have entered the Top 30 but an error with the barcode on some copies led to not all sales being registered correctly. It did however still reach No.1 in the UK Independent Album Charts. In 2002 the album was reissued on CD by Toby Marks's own Disco Gecko Recordings record label, and an expanded digital download version with extra tracks was made available in 2011. A new 4 CD Limited Edition version was released on 21 June 2015 to mark the album's 20th anniversary.
