Another top notch offering of African-Latin-Indo-middle eastern influenced downtempo grooves. Although it doesnt veer far from the TC template there is more of an Afro vibe while the lyrics are more political than before. If you're already a fan get this pronto. If you dont like their previous releases you sure wont like this either.

And now for the big BUT....the quality of the packaging. Sorry to say this but it is the worst packaged CD in music history, alright.. since the mid 80s. Its a pretty shoddy cardboard sleeve which is a bit larger than your standard plastic jewel case. The CD itself is loose and inside a folded poster with a picture on one side and credits and all sorts of bumf on the other. What's going on fer Gawd's ... Read More:

It is wonderful to have a WHOLE listenable album of amazingly well crafted, chilled, sophisticated music by one group.

I just love this album, Lebanese Blonde is one of the best chill out tunes of all time but there are some other truly great tracks on there.

3.The Cosmic Game by: Thievery Corporation

Music : The Cosmic Game
This is really one of the best albums i have had. Prior to the release of the Cosmic Game, I spent a really long time in the UK going to record-shop after record shop asking if they had "Thievery Corporation" to be told "huh?". I'm sorry, but this is music which deserves better recognition. It's not like they are particularly obsecure/specialist. Amerimacka remains one of my favourite tracks.
Its the ambience of chill-out and great vocals on many tracks which really stand this out. If you can get this with Sounds from Thievery Hi-Fi, you can see how far these guys have developed.

4.DJ Kicks - Thievery Corporation by: Thievery Corporation (mixed by), Various Artists

Music : DJ Kicks - Thievery Corporation
As with a good wine ageing well so this album from 1999 is tasting just great to me having stumbled across it in a sale only 9 years later! The Thievery Corporation excel in blending together so many 'world music' sounds so seamlessly over laid back trippy beats and this offering is just perfect. Its packed with so many good vibes you could confidently leave the whole 60 minutes worth on for the chillout phase of any cool party. Its perfect for any time of day really!

While Thievery Corporation's first full album is less sophisticated than their later outings its rawer, less "crafted" style means that its best tracks have a distinctly more exciting edge. "The Glass Bead Game", "So Vast is the Sky" and ".38.45" just jump out of the speakers with their highly infectious mix of electronica, hip-hop & dub while "Shaolin Satellite's" drivingly addictive beats and multi-layered swathes of organs & sitars put it up there with the very best of the whole electronica/dance scene. Others drift, often much too languidly, between genres giving a rambling and disjointed feel to the album as a whole but, if you're a fan of Thievery Corporation or of high quality downbeat "world" music then what's good on it is too good to miss.

This is a wonderful, sensual compilation of remixes. Most of the tracks are taken from Indian Classical music and brought down to Thievery Corporation's laid back lounge style. For some reason this album seems to be overlooked by most people and so 2 of the tracks from here, Tarana and The Girl's Insane, have been re-released on their latest compilation, Versions. It is a shame because although Versions is more varied, I prefer the style of this compilation - buy it!

7.The Richest Man in Babylon by: Thievery Corporation

Music : The Richest Man in Babylon
loved this album. all the best of chillout with some surprises thrown in for good measure. 'heavens...' lovely mellow start to this album belies what is to come as it flows juicily into the lush bhangra beat of 'facing east' followed surprisingly by 'the outernationalist' more than welcome surprise i hasten to add. Short'interlude' literally before taking the listener anywhere and everywhere theyve ever wanted to go. Recommend listening to this on a long journey. Plug in the mp3 and....go.

8.Abductions and Reconstructions by: Thievery Corporation

Music : Abductions and Reconstructions
This is Thievery heaven.
Knowing nothing of this group nor anything of '18th St. ' or 'lounge' music etc. all I can say is that this was a staggering introduction!
I have since bought all the other Theivery co. albums and yet still return to 'Dance on Vaseline' and 'Boof N' Baff N' Biff' et al, despite the solid roots-dub / Latin feeling to the earlier albums that is traditionally more to my taste.
This is chill-out paradise. Buy it!

This is an excellent compilation which is Uptempo & On The Bossa Side of Jazz, tracks which some of us have been spinning in clubs on the original vinyl for years now onto CD! The outstanding track for me is Bala Com Bala a hard Bossa dancfloor filler from Elis Regina, Enjoy!

10.Versions by: Thievery Corporation
July 29, 2008
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Versions
I bought this on the strength of TC's kooky but affecting mix of the Doors' "Strange Days" and the exquisite "Originality", a blistering burst of dubbed-out, horn-drenched reggae but nothing on the album comes close to said highlight. It has some excellent moments - their own "revolution solution", with Perry Farrell's shimmering vocals gliding over the surface, is a key moment - and TC are masters of soulful dubby basslines coupled with dope beats and expansive percussive arrangements. Ultimately though it's a bit of a yawn. Too many tracks which meander nicely but do little to excite. It's the kind of album that you'd think would be perfect for a post-club chillout experience but in fact if you did put it on in such an environment someone would probably change the ... Read More:
