The third album
from this Washington, DC, USA band consisting of Rob Garza &
Eric Hilton. There`s a lot of eclectic and famous bands / artists
originating from Washington, DC, for instance; Bad Brains,
Minor Threat, Fugazi, Duke Ellington, Rites Of
Spring, Jawbox, Deep Dish, Unrest, Pussy
Galore, Girls Against Boys and The Nation Of Ulysses. What
an impressive list! This is the first time I hear a Thievery Corporation
full album. When you look at worldwide corporate globalization / domination
their name sounds like a bad joke, sarcasm or a prediction of things to come
(you decide). The music is electronically oriented. It blends / mixes / mashes
various styles / influences: future jazz, Latin, Middle East, dub, downtempo,
lounge, funk, jazz and trip hop. Every track`s amazingly sequenced /
orchestrated i.e. perfection. The whole shebang feels like a Superman
comic book so perfect, so bland and boring. I respect Superman and
Thievery Corporation it just doesn`t work for me. I still
recommend this album, but I`m not gonna keep it. Don`t get me wrong, it`s good
music. Not my cup of tea, that`s all.
