Our Take

It's time to dive into the blue zone with Shakatak's latest masterpiece, reimagined in glorious K2HD/HQCD format. This album is a psychedelic journey through the depths of smooth jazz fusion, with a sprinkle of funk and a dash of soul.

From the moment you press play, you'll find yourself transported to a world where saxophones serenade you, keyboards mesmerize you, and drums groove you into a state of pure euphoria. It's like being caught in a disco fever dream, where the dance floor is endless and the party never stops.

Shakatak's musicianship is top-notch, with every note played with precision and soul. The production on this album is crisp and clean, allowing every instrument to shine brightly. The arrangements are inventive and fresh, showcasing the band's ability to push boundaries and create music that is both accessible and avant-garde.

Tracks like "Out of This World" and "dancing in the street" will have you tapping your feet and bobbing your head in no time. But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibes - Shakatak's music is as complex as it is catchy, with layers upon layers of sonic goodness waiting to be unravelled.

In the blue zone, Shakatak has created a sonic landscape that is as vibrant as it is immersive. So grab your headphones, press play, and let yourself get lost in the groovy wonderland that is this album. You won't be disappointed.

Shakatak: Smooth Jazz Pioneers or Funky Fusion Fraudsters? With a career spanning over four decades, British jazz-funk band Shakatak have certainly made a name for themselves in the music industry. Formed in 1980, the group quickly established themselves as one of the leading exponents of the jazz-funk genre, blending elements of smooth jazz, funk, and pop to create their signature sound. Led by co-founders Bill Sharpe and Jill Saward, Shakatak have released over 50 albums and scored numerous chart hits throughout their career. Their infectious grooves and catchy melodies have garnered them a loyal fanbase around the world, with their music often described as the perfect soundtrack for a summer's day or a romantic evening. But are Shakatak truly the smooth jazz pioneers they claim to be, or are they just a bunch of funky fusion fraudsters? Critics have been divided on the issue, with some praising the band's ability to effortlessly blend different genres and create music that is both accessible and sophisticated. Others, however, have accused Shakatak of being overly polished and commercial, lacking the raw energy and authenticity of their jazz-funk predecessors. Love them or loathe them, there's no denying that Shakatak have left an indelible mark on the music world. Whether you're a die-hard jazz-funk fan or just looking for some catchy tunes to dance to, Shakatak are definitely worth a listen. So grab a glass of wine, kick back, and let the smooth sounds of Shakatak wash over you. Who knows, you might just find yourself grooving along to their infectious beats sooner than you think.
