[Guest antic]

For me, Shakta is one of the most talented and versatile musicians in our scene. I simply adore all Seb's early works: Shakta - "Silicon Trip", Somaton - "Future Memories", Digitalis - "The 3rd State". And don't force me to pick favourite tunes - I just like them all!!!

 

I equally like his newest offerings, like "Out of sight" and "Feed the flame", although I can clearly see why others don't.

 

I hope he'll release something trance-related soon

[JoB]

he knows his stuff allright!

i love the way he can combine beautifull melodies with madness, acid and good rhythms...

i.e. silicon trip / temporal shift

 

i like enlightned ape too , its different which is good... i feel its more flowing and going with very nice psychedelica and from time to time he drops a beautifull melody in there....gotto love it .... esp the human life track

 

 

still gotta check somaton out ...

[Daniël]

SHAKTA was in belgium last september.

 

And his liveset was even bettern than expected!

He restyled his oldskool tracks, he has got the biggest treasure in psytranceland at the moment.

[Malevol3nt]

Shakta is one of my favourite artists! There are so many golden tracks he released, these are just the top of my head that I can remember the titles from:

 

Lepton Head

Off the Essence

Brainwash Nation

The Neuromancer

 

Ahh the

You mean we won't think he's a kick ass psychedellic producer anymore??

[kreation7]

Seb's quality tunes:

 

Spiritual Beings in Physical Bodies

Lepton Head Pt. 2

Repeater

[Pavane]

ok, lets make all of you people happy...

 

You love old school Shakta!? You'll love his music on Opus Iridium... After his mind blowing set on an (old school) party of us we talked and he decided to do it once again...

 

In the mean time we had a first version of the song, which is typical Shakta old school... Acidic and melodic style... Pure old school Shakta!

 

So he's not dead

As Mars said... you'll be surprised (I didn't read his comment at first)

[seraph]

Yes, Shakta is really one of the fathers of psychedelic goa trance and has huge respect and appreciation from me, but he has lost it somehow in past few years, and even though he started producing more housey stuff, I still think that he hasn't sold himself as the other trance pioneers. I like as well his other projects : SOMATON, DIGITALIS, ANGEL TEARS...

 

My favourite tracks are :

 

FOXGLOVE

MICRONESIA

AMBER MANTRA

ARSIM ON ACID

COSMIC TRIGGER

INDRA'S NET

SILICON TRIP

THE FUTURE IS NOW

THE NEUROMANCER

SPIRITUAL BEINGS IN PHYSICAL BODIES

BETWEEN WORLDS

LEPTON HEAD

ION TRIBE

are you kidding.

now you guys at suntrip are just plain torturing us.

i think i said a few years ago that it will take some of the old masters to start spinning that wheel of evolution around, as it was it was around the time suntrip was born that the wheel started, and people like seb and hopefully (dear god) but not counting on it transwave???? a.p (not likely but you never know) to really start it spinning again, well hopefully this may be it, the wheel picking up the pace in february???? will be waiting in anticipation.

I,m not that big fan of Shakta.. but Kaya Project and Angel Tears, so amazing music i can imagine still listening them in 10 years future (if im alive) Seb Taylor is a musical genious. Digitalis album is also damn good.

[Goa Bill]

Expect a Hibernation (another Seb Taylor side project) album on Aleph Zero any time soon

[Otto Matta]

Shakta was one of my first ten or so Goa loves. I listened to Enlightened Ape over and over. I also really like his Somaton project. I'm not a big fan of his later stuff or his downtempo/ambient work.
