Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Reissue of the classic debut album. Includes 2 new tracks plus new digipack packaging. Originally released in 1999, this album started a movement which has propelled the Thievery Corporation to leaders of the electronic music genre, and masters' of their own marketing juggernaut.
Customer Reviews
Too good to miss...
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.
It's a disappointment
The whole track has a very slow moving, heavily drugged out feeling, definitely NOT their best mix.
Serious Addiction.
My addiction to this stuff is way over the top. I need to get in touch with these dudes so i can croon discordant and seductive!!! If i couldnt describe myself in words, which i cant, this type style of flow would do it. Excellent. Picked this up last nite at Tower. Each album ages sweet! Now to finish my collection.
*Rubbing hands greedily.
