Anyone who likes both electronic dance music (in general) and Ambient/IDM should take a moment to discover this overlooked diamond.

I picked this album up based on the strength of Resident Advisor's top picks for the first decade of the 2000's. I'm quite pleased with it. It has a kind of spare sound, toward minimal, but with enough flourish in it to keep it progressing and enjoyable. The album has a lighthearted sound that minimal can sometimes trade for plodding repetition. Thumbs up.

This funky and breaky tech house album with a touch of electro got me bopping up my head up and down and occasionally reaching over to rate every other track at four and five stars on my iPod. Overall the album from a Frankfurt duo is simply fun to listen to with its upbeat riffs and simple synth chords. A no-thrills production sometimes underplays the delivered message, yet takes you on a clean ride, which is rarely desired but very often required to clear ones head. Don't forget to check out their 2007 release, Dj Kicks.

i mean, i knew in advance what i was buying, so no surprises.. this album is perfect.

Try it once and you will be addicted to Minimal Techno for the rest of your life!

Does anybody realize what is going on here? If not you will soon find out, althouhgh some of you it's going to take couple years before you realize how great Book Shade is, innovating techno, basically creating a new sound.
