Takla Makan

Takla Makan is the artist name of Tony Allgood.

Tony has been producing music for nearly 25 years. His main influences are Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield and Tangerine Dream. 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. As yet Takla Makan has never found a home on any 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 and he has built up a considerable fanbase.

We hope that you will enjoy his music as much as others have done.
