Following 2006's massively acclaimed "Movements" album, Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, return with their third album, "The Sun & The Neon Light". It's 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 Sun & The Neon Light" they adopt a song-based approach, and expertly weave real instruments and voices with superbly detailed electronics to create a futuristic but very human kind of music. It's 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.
