Let me first say that I am a huge Shakta fan. I love funky groovy psy-trance, and Shakta has always been one of the masters of the funky ass bass line. This 12" here gives us a glimpse into the early days of Shakta that is quite interesting. Cosmic Trigger has many of the basic Shakta-isms, yet his sound doesn't seem to have fully permeated this track yet. The bass could be funky, but the sound is a hair off. The Shakta lines are almost there, but still a hair more "goa" than "Shakta". Its a good goa track, but not a great Shakta one. Silicon Trip has a bit more of the "Shakta" flavor. Its a harder track and not as nearly as pure "goa" as Cosmic Trigger. The Shakta flavor still not in full effect here, but this is a suring sign of things to come from Seb Taylor that the previous track.
