Released 5^th June 2006

"Movements" is set to be released on Italy’s fantastic Get Physical Records. The follow up to 2004’s critically acclaimed debut album, "Momento" from Walter Merziger & Arno Kammermeier aka Booka Shade who have run the label since 2002.

After the crossover success of their recent "Body Language" (together with M.A.N.D.Y) and "Mandarine Girl" singles (both revisited here). A summer spent touring with the likes of Mylo and Royksopp, blowing festival audiences all over Europe away with their live performances, this album is set to make some big, big waves.

The Get Physical Directors start off with the rhythmic half-stepping beats. The deep and beautiful "Body Language" interpretation focuses on the melodic and electronic samba tones.

Warped disco funk buzzes with "Shimmer" and "Paper Moon". Getting tougher with their oriental influences in "Hide And Seek In Geisha’s Garden", the Thai inspired "Pong Pang" and the new album version of "Mandarin Girl".

Booka Shade’s "Movements" then shows a political point to prove with "Hallelujah USA" and the more laid back sounds of "Lost High" both round off the package nicely…

With both awesome production talent and an album like this, it’s clear to see exactly why international DJs like Jo Mills have all recently quoted Get Physical Records as one of her favourite labels in the world…
