Editorial Reviews

Product Description

2001 release for British jazz-funk combo. The album still steers along the jazz/funk fusion lines of late but keeps memories of the 'Drivin Hard' album still alive. This is a must for all Shak fans old or new. There's something in this album for everyone no matter what phase of the Shakatak legacy you preferred. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, May 1, 2007

By	C. Marks "Deuces up, A-Town down" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I originally bought this album after hearing 'The Squizzle' and I purchased this album on the strength of that song alone. At first, it was (for the most part) the only song I listened to on the album because I have a large musical collection and I didn't have time to really get in-depth and listen to the album. Weeks later, at work, I was able to actually give the album a throrough listening from front to back and this is a really nice album. The music is light and airy. It's perfect for cruising in the car on a gorgeous spring day or as background music at a family function or at a wedding reception. It's perfect for almost any mood or setting, quite honestly. It's a nice melding of contemporary Jazz and some R&B. Great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Good One, September 23, 2001

By	Wanda E. Moorman (Washington,, DC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Under Your Spell (Audio CD)

In typical Shakatak style, "Under Your Spell" is chock-full of tracks that will keep you jammin' from beginning to end. The first track, "Sunshine," sets the stage with an upbeat, soulful rhythmn that will have you up on your feet, moving to the beat. The remaining tracks are a combination of fast, slow songs that flow in the usual Shakatak arrangement. Shakatak has done it again. I have been a Shak fan for years since my college days. This CD reminds me of one of their earlier pieces, "Intuition," which rose to the charts and propelled the group into being one of the world's best contemporary jazz groups. I'm sue this CD will be another hit in their already successful musicial portfolio.

4.0 out of 5 stars Under Shakatak's Spell, December 31, 2002

By	Cynthia A. Wilson "caw747" (Bowie, Md United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first fell in love with Shakatak when I heard their "Perfect Smile" CD. This album is almost as good. The group, which is from the UK, is extremely talented. The vocals are superb as are all of the other musicians. I highly recommend it. And I'm on a mission to collect all of their CD's.
