The Sun & The Neon Light
Get Physical
ELECTRO HOUSE
Following 2006's massively acclaimed ‘Movements' album, which included the club hits "Night Falls", "In White Rooms", "Mandarine Girl" and the classic "Body Language", and an extensive world tour which saw them play over 150 dates in 20 months, BOOKA SHADE, aka WALTER MERZIGER and ARNO KAMMERMEIER, return with their third album!!
‘The Sun & The Neon Light' is a mature work that tackles the contradictions between our day-life and our night-life, between the organic and the artificial, the individual and the crowd, the inner and the outer. This eternal tension is reflected not just in the range and complexity of the album's moods, but also its mingling of acoustic and electronic textures - of course BOOKA SHADE's roots lie in club music, but for the new album they adopt a song-based approach, and expertly weave real instruments and voices with superbly detailed electronics to create a futuristic but very organic sound.
Utilising everything from orchestral strings and buzzing guitars to JOHN CARPENTER-esque synth lines and KRAFTWERK-evoking stylophones, ‘The Sun & The Neon Light' is the group's most intelligent, fluid, and exquisitely arranged album to date.
Garnering massive props for both their original studio work and their live performances, the boys have naturally become in-demand remixers, lending their production magic to the likes of MOBY, THE JUAN MCLEAN, YELLO, HOT CHIP, DEPECHE MODE, ROXY MUSIC, DUBFIRE, TIGA, DAVE GAHAN and THE KNIFE amongst many more.
The Sun & The Neon Light is an album from a band at the top of their game, whose songwriting and arranging is now in perfect accord with their production panache and instinctive dancefloor know-how. Available for a short period of time as a limited edition double CD - the second disc features a special DJ mix of dancefloor versions of the album's tracks - ‘The Sun & The Neon Light' sees Booka Shade capture the night's glamour, mystique, possibility, and squalor, and seize the day's sheer wonder. It arrives at one important and undeniable conclusion: whatever else happens, whatever's lost or gained, whether we're bathed in real or artificial light, the music will endure.
Initially issued as a super limited collectors edition 2CD jewel case with cardboard sleeve - Do not miss out!
