Booka Shade is Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, production masterminds behind the first 13 Get Physical releases. This is their second full-length release. In charge of their own production company and studio for the last 15 years, they have profoundly applied their wide range of talents to the realm of electronic music. Meanwhile, Booka Shade's own redefinition of dance music found its expression on their debut album, Memento, which drew on their background as pop producers and their ability to sculpt nocturnal yet melancholic music for the dance floor and beyond. When it was released at the tail end of 2004, Memento hit with velvet-coated sucker punches, its prowling, understated menace, combined with Walter and Arno's knack of penning melodies and creating evocative moods mapping out a fresh alternative for electronic music. In marked difference to their debut, Movements shows a lighter side to Booka Shade, inspired by time spent in Spain and Ibiza last summer. In particular, the mellow, jazzy groove of "Paper Moon" is the kind of languid affair that's tailor-made for the White Island's beach bars and restaurants. The Detroit electro influences inherent in Booka Shade's work come to the surface on "Take A Ride," which journeys to the darkest recesses of Motor City to lay down a starkly foreboding, futuristic soundtrack.
