mars Posted September 19, 2000 Author Share Posted September 19, 2000 Shakta - Kick The Baby Artist: Shakta Title: Kick The Baby Label: Psychic Deli Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 07'45" Kick The Baby 02. 07'35" 3rd Stone Review: Kick the baby is quite slow, and relaxing, in the begining. In the second half of the tune, it becomes harder, and sometimes, wicked sounds come over other strange sounds. there are many surprises in this track...a good compo indeed, but...there's a little thing missing. I don't know what 5/10 for this one. 3rd Stone really looks like a Shakta track, very rhythmic, distorted sounds everywhere...in the begining. Then it becomes dark And scary during the break...you try to imagine what's going to happen...then it restarts and drives you mad out of psychedelia! Warning: party killer. 9/10. Eventually, (5+9)/2 = 7/10 overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeto Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 Side A... Starts of with spacey sweeps.. and some random sounds that grab your attention.. Then slowly they bring in th melodies.. they build it up till aboutt 4:05 and then just start going crazy... that sound is too catchy... then there is a break up ahead around 5 mins something like the Fuzzion - Brown Eyed Girl ... totally breaks and some nice samples ... I really like Shakta and I believe this is some great after so long. Side A starts with very deep twisted sounds...Nice and melodic with a nice break and some samples. The key change of the basssline around 4:45 is the best part where it gets really dark for a bit and then goes back into that melodic twisted pep sound! I would buy it if I were u just for that crazy break on Side A 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rx7style Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 My copy FINALLY arrived -- damned, there's some good shit on this EP. Side A is fantastic, and sticks to the psychedelic-tech-trance style that Shakta does so very, very well. Hard, deep, pounding bass -- some soft synth harmonies layered in with the funky/hard tech sounds... don't know how else to describe this except as awesome. Side B isn't quite as good, but still a great dance-floor track. A little bit faster, more breaks, seems to go a few more places than Side A, but it just doesn't have the flow and doesn't seem as solid. Still a great track with some spacey samples inserted everywhere... pick this EP up! You'll make people on the dancefloor drop dead [in a good way!!!] 9.5/10 - one of the best EP's I have.

Guest rx7style Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 I should also mention, "Kick The Baby" sounds like Shakta took a little lesson from GMS, as the main effect used again and again is EXACTLY like in GMS tracks. Still sounds pretty good though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Kick The Baby is EPIC. A lot of magical psychedelic sounds, tons of atmosphere, dark and deep bassline, incredible sample use. Huge track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
