 Shakatak Bio from the Night Moves CD liner notes
With their seamless and deceptively delicate blend of jazz, funk, latin and contemporary keyboard innovation, Shakatak provided a sophisticated soundtrack fto the first half of the '80s that nevertheless sounds perennial.
Shakatak's unique instrumental-unison vocal combination is a deceptively big sound: it's provided by Bill Sharpe (whose extra-Shakatak activities include several hit collaborations with Gary Numan), George Anderson, Roger Odell, Nigel Wright and Keith Winter, and from 1984 Gil Saward as lead vocalist.
Shakatak's music continues into the 90's in the same solidly successful vein, transcending passing musical fad and fashion, and, as always, opening a seductive door for pop audiences to step into the world of jazz.

I've been into the jazz-funk sound for years and years, and with Shakatak being up their with the best of the bunch (in my opinion) I eagerly awaited this album to arrive on my doorstep.
That's the kind of Shakatak music that should be most prevalent onthis album - listen to their 'Night Birds' album, I think that era was their best and thus should be celebrated the most.
Shakatak's songs don't just hit you when you first hear them but slowly grip you as they progress.

Nightbirds also introduced singer Jill Saward, who emerged as Shakatak's lead vocalist with the band's fifth album, 1984's Down on the Street, which notched the hit "Watching You"; 1985's Live preceded the release of the group's next studio effort, Day by Day.
A series of largely instrumental albums including Into the Blue, Golden Wings, Da Makani and Niteflite were then issued exclusively in Japan, where Shakatak enjoyed immense popularity; in the meanwhile 1988's Manic and Cool was released internationally, highlighted by the singles "Mr.

 Shakatak
SHAKATAK have enjoyed a level of success and a career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music - but then SHAKATAK are a particularly unusual group.
This record introduced SHAKATAK's unique instrumental-unison vocal sound to a much wider audience and was destined to remain on the charts for an incredible 17 weeks.
The follow up, "Night Birds", was the band's first single to crack the Top 10, and the album of the same name gave SHAKATAK their first gold disc, entering at No. 4 and remaining on the charts for almost 6 months.

Shakatak fans like me will love this familiar sound which hasn't changed too much over the years.

Although this one-disc version of the best of Shakatak is not remastered, the sound quality is very good showing that it was mastered well to begin with.
However, most if not all of their best work is already here on one disc and as the sound quality isn't bad at all, I'd recommend going for this one instead of spending much, much more on the 3-disc version which appears to me to be overkill anyway.
All the great ones are already on this disc such as "Night Birds", "Invitations", "Streetwalking" and "Dark is the Night." If you like Shakatak and want to hear their best work without getting all their albums, this is the one to get.

Track 7, 'Running Back To You' is excellent and has echoes of the Shakatak we know with a new slant on their vocal arrangement.
The CD cover, though lacking in a lot of information seems to be in keeping with most liners nowadays, however, the colour balance and picture do make you take notice of it.
The word' Shakatak' is displayed not in the band's usual logo, which, perhaps, emphasises that though they are the same band, there is a certain departure from the norm, a fresh new sound and new material.

When our brave lads took to the stage, they were cutting edge playing with the Police and the Stranglers, (and getting pelted with firecrackers in the proccess), an antidote to the dying punk scene no less.
Shakatak are hardly worthy of playing against L42 and are no longer marketable.
I need to have a lie down now, maybe blow the dust off the 'Drivin Hard' album and remind myself how middle of the road Shakatak were even then, then maybe play SITL just to piss on Shakatak and then twiddle the knob of my pink prophet.

The Fury (1985) charted slightly higher, again featuring a new image of white suit and red bow tie, but still barely grazed the UK charts.
Collaborations with Bill Sharpe of Shakatak helped little, though one single the duo recorded, "Change Your Mind", did see chart action, reaching the Top 20 in Britain.
Numa Records, which had been launched in a flurry of idealistic excitement, folded after the release of Numan's Strange Charm album (1986).
