RA Review

What would you do after recording an album like Movements ? How would you top it? Would you even try? After tracks as anthemic as ‘Mandarine Girl’ and ‘In White Rooms’, anything less uplifting would seem like a come down. So if you’re not gonna top it, what are the other options? Go faux fairy acou..

I like City Tales, it sounded good on MANDY's Fabric mix. Haven't heard the rest.

Good review mate, i was definitely expecting a bit more, especially when they in their interview on this very site there would be a lot of colour on the new album

Its an accurate review, but I don't think its just Booka Shade. I feel this way as a whole about Get Physical now. The stuff they were releasing a few years ago was leading the industry and now it seems like they've just settled in to the pack with mediocre releases. When your as hot as they were theres only one way to go unfortunately. I hope they can get back to releasing some ground breaking recs again.

If you're Booka Shade, where do you go? Nice release but yes, we are expecting a lot after Body Language, In White Rooms and Mandarine girl
