Takla Makan - Sanctuary

Takla Makan is the artist name of Englishman Tony Allgood.
Tony has been producing music for nearly 28 years. His main influences are Tangerine Dream, Mike Oldfield and Jean Michel Jarre. However, over the years inspiration has come from many sources including the late 80s rave scene, classical works and film soundtracks. This mix and match of musical genres has come together in a style that is distinctly Tony's and won him considerable acclaim from listeners and EM critics all over the world.
He has produced five albums and the last four are available as CD-Rs from the artist's website. For a long time Takla Makan had problems finding a home on a commercial label. Many have been approached but the difficulty in tying his music down to a particular genre has scared all too many of them. Even so, Tony has been selling CD-Rs direct to the public for many years. Nowadays his music is also available through synthmusic direct.
Sanctuary is from Tonys album: Contour

We flow straight though to Sanctuary. A rapid twangy sequence takes things forward then a bass rhythm joins it. Wordless vocal chanting adds a faintly ethnic touch. This is like nothing else on the rest of the album becoming more commercial sounding by the moment. I can well imagine Joint Intelligence Committee coming up with something similar. It would be equally at home being enjoyed in a club or being listened to from the comfort of the sofa. As with everything on this album it is wonderfully composed and boiling over with excitement.
