Booka Shade
Movements 10
10th anniversary, Booka Shade release a 2016 remaster and expanded version of their era-defining LP 'Movements'. Including 10 exclusive remixes from electronic music's finest artists including Nils Frahm, Jonas Rathsman, Deetron, Eats Everything, Dennis Ferrer, Patrick Topping, M.A.N.D.Y, Andhim, Hunter Game and Chi Thanh. Presenting a mixture of original works, reprises, reworks and remixes, Arno Kammermeier and Walter Merziger have ensured there is no sonic stone left unturned in this reissue of 'Movements'. Not to be mistaken for a nostalgia piece, the re-birth of 'Movements' is truly the next chapter in the constantly evolving life of the album. Turning their attention to the dreamy atmospherics of 'Night Falls' are Nils Frahm and Patrick Topping. Whilst Frahm completely reworks the track in his signature style combining elements of electronic music with classical sounds and structure, Topping's version is more closely aligned to the club ready vibe of the original with a thudding bass line and sparse injections of the original's catchy chord progression.Offering a reprise of 'In White Rooms' you'll find Jonas Rathsman, who's honest and powerful interpretation of the original track is similarly moving. Multiple layers of synths build up texture throughout, letting the original melody peak through the surface only momentarily. Also sharing their vision on the track is Hunter / Game who've taken the instantly recognizable chord progression deeper into the sound. The brooding synths simmer below the pulsing percussion before being encouraged forward by unsettling vocals samples. Last but certainly not least, Kammermeier and Merziger commissioned their longtime friends and collaborators, M.A.N.D.Y to put their spin on the elegant vocoder seductions of 'Wasting Time.' Booka Shade and 'Movements' have been indescribably influential in developing the musicality of dance music and this reissue in a sonic manifestation of just that. A plethora of artistic input, amongst all this the originals still sound as relevant as they ever have. 2CD - Double CD with remixes. 2LP - Double LP with remixed on Download Code.
