I have been
writing on and off with Jose Carlos Sisto for many years and then we lost touch
of each other and he recently sent me this release of his from 2014 and his
latest masterpiece called Shakti's Delirium Electroshock! Both were pressed in only 300
on vinyl (this is a CD-R), while 20,000 is a very nice 2CD digipack with an
insert all in Spanish. The first CD is over 70mins of music and features 9
tracks. The opening track starts with some beautiful acoustic guitars, cello
and violin as well. There are quite a few people playing on this record. There
is a wide variety of psychedelic music on these two CDs and it takes quite a
while to digest. If you understand Spanish you will for sure get a deeper
meaning out of the long trip that is described in the words and music. There is
a lot of great guitar playing on this record.
The Shakti’s Delerium, based on a track (2nd to
last on CD2) of the previously described album, is also quite cool and features
the same drummer but a new bass player and no guests. This is more stripped out
and not as elaborate. Features 9 tracks starting off with Supernova, a track made
quite psychedelic by the way it has been mixed with vocals and instruments
moving around. A real classic rock and
roll vibe on this one. Natura Extrafia starts off with some sitar before the
rock and roll kicks in with a happy 70s vibe and groove. Astrovoodoo is another
melodic track but a very happy feeling in the music. Vuelvo a tu mente is a
more powerful track and cranks up the intensity a bit and features a wild wah
guitar solo and psyched out at the end. Corazón is a really cool track with
some dual guitar parts. Reptil Espacial kicks in with a harder riff but the
same happiness as the rest of these tracks sneaks in as well. Sigueme features
some flute by Jose and speeds things up a bit. The title track ends this really
enjoyable LP. Again, if you understand Spanish you will get a lot more our of
this cool music. Enjoy the samples from
you tube..
Listened a bit to the youtubelinks, sounds like something good and the covers are great so made an order of both on LP.
