So instead I am going to send you this:
This duo are D.J's who also make their own music but it is as D.J's that they are revered. They own a huge old house in Washington (I think) where they have chilled out nights belting out music from every corner of the earth. This comp takes you from the Bossa Nova of South America to the deep Dub of Jamaica through the beats of the middle east and the funky house of contemporary clubs in the U.K and U.S. All the while sounding completely effortless and cohesive.
This album has remained one of my personal faves for over ten years and doesn't sound dated in the slightest. Hope you like at least some of it  |
Thank you. I really enjoyed this. I have come across Thievery Corporation in the past because I was looking for Industrial music and I think it was some user on Limewire that had them labeled wrong. I ended up picking up KMFDM that day and some others.
I thought this album was going to be their work but if I had read your write-up before listening to it, I would have known that it was a comp. I love the way they put the comp together. I felt like I had my passport stamped and was taking a trip through different countries.
