Shakatak - Emotionally Blue (2007)
EAC | FLAC (Image+Cue+Log+Scans) > 366 mb | MP3 (320kbps) > 135 mb | 55:41 min
Genre: Smooth Jazz, Funk, Fusion / Label: Victor Entertaiment Japan / WinRar, 5% recovery

2007 album from the British Jazz/Funk/Fusion band led by keyboardist Bill Sharpe and drummer Roger Odell. Like Level 42, the band came into existence in 1980, a time when Punk and New Wave were the music of choice for England's youth. Somehow, Shakatak managed to win the hearts of Europe and Japan even though their style of music was not in vogue. Since then, the band has explored many styles of Jazz and Fusion and have managed to maintain a large core audience who have grown with them.

SHAKATAK have enjoyed a level of success and a career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music - but then SHAKATAK are a particularly unusual group. Because of the nature of the music, their fan base is one that is very far reaching while always retaining it's "underground" element. This paradox sees the band, who are known primarily as serious jazz / funk musicians, enjoying both high 'cult' status and instant recognition as a household name. Having already garnered massive commercial achievements in the UK, SHAKATAK went on to score unprecedented successes both in Japan (for which demand dictates they produce exclusive albums every year), and in the USA. Their music simply refuses to be catergorised, a fact that has enabled them to share Festival billings with such diverse artists as Gloria Estafan (Tokyo), Dizzy Gillespie (Capital Jazz, London), Duran Duran (Montreux), and even U2 (Nuremberg)!

История коллектива началась в 1967 году, когда Борис Бланк стал записывать свои первые музыкальные опусы на магнитофон. За неимением инструментов он начал использовать кухонную утварь: деревянные подставки, хрустальные бокалы, ключи и ножи. Свои неожиданные находки он долгое время пытался приспособить в различных группах, но без особенного успеха. Переломной стала для Бориса встреча со звукорежиссером и музыкантом Карлосом Пероном. С ним Бланк смог наконец-то создать свою первую профессиональную студию. В 1978 году они предприняли путешествие в Сан-Франциско, чтобы познакомиться со своими кумирами — тамошней авангардистской группой The Residents. Вернувшись в Швейцарию Бланк и Перон вскоре встретились с человеком, который позже стал членом Yello. Это был Дитер Майер, сын богатого отца, имевший за плечами бурную биографию: брак с наследницей пышного аристократического титула, побег из семейного замка с намерением стать деятелем искусства, работа в качестве журналиста, автора детских книг и режиссера экспериментальных фильмов, членство в сборной команде Швейцарии по гольфу.
