Groove Armada Black Light
Black Light sounds like it was buzzed in from of the early 2000s, completely and happily uninfluenced by the preceding years of dance music development. It ends up being an acutely traditional Groove Armada album: The token slow jam (“Shameless”) and the droning, delirious lover’s romp (“I Won’t Kneel”) are all here, crushed with those familiar slabs of grimy, effusive,.

White Light is the seventh studio album by the British electronic music duo Groove Armada, released on 18 October 2010 through Cooking Vinyl. It consists of alternative versions of songs from their previous album, Black Light, along with one new song entitled '1980'.
Background[edit]
Groove Armada members Andy Cato and Tom Findlay reworked the songs for the Jersey Livemusic festival.[2] According to Findlay when talking about the album:
'It began as Black Light. Then it was recut, reworked and enlarged for a festival season that began at Glastonbury, crossed Europe, took in Japan, and ended in Moscow. Now these king size live versions have been taken back to the studio and re-recorded. Black Light has become White Light.'[3]
