Washington's finest purveyors of hazy downbeat soundscapes have already produced two stoned classics with Sounds from The Thievery H-Fi DJ Kicks mix on K7! Records. Their latest offering walks to the same tempo but with an overall more purposeful musical strut. It's organic for a start, with live vocals and sounds, trading in the slightly sullen slow-mo digi-dub for a more refined and soulful brand of chic. Check the breathless beauty of Marla's voice on "La Monde" and "So Com Voce" as she floats into the spaces left empty on previous Thievery encounters. They manage to wring every half-drop of their main musical influences (dub, soundtracks and bossa) into this beautiful record as it sinks into deep waters, oozing sophistication all the way down. Perfect accompaniment when too spannered to dance, this contains the added bonus of jazzy jungle finale, "Tomorrow" to liven you up from contented slumber just before the album ends. Sweet like syrup, not chocolate. --Dan Stacey

Languidly warm and cool...

Thievery Corporation lay down the perfect late night vibes. Full of warm, atmospheric sounds and super cool vocals it effortlessly switches between electronica, chill out, latin, bossa-nova, eastern raga and even dub without losing the languid vibe that underpins it all and which drives the whole album along. Nothing too challenging and nothing to break the spell, just excellently produced and cleverly designed melodies that provide the perfect backdrop to pure relaxation.

Essential Chill Out experience

Every once in while a definitive album is created that stands head and shoulders above all other music in it's genre. The Thievery Corporation haven't just thrown a bunch of mixed tunes or ideas together (although they can be just as impressive when they take that approach), they have made a truly original, thoughtful and beautiful album. The dub influence isn't overwhelming and the hispanic/bossa nova creates just enough of an exotic mood to help the listener forget about the daily stresses of life. Some beautiful female vocals complement the unique electronic moods that this duo from D.C. have been creating for quite a while. If you get this album your next purchase will probably be another Thievery Corporation album, I almost guarantee it. Highlights are tracks one through to thirteen...
