I have always been a fan of electronica starting way back with Jean Michel Jarre and Eddie Jobson. Thievery Corp take this genre up a notch with their amazing rhythms and digital sampling. I find this music perfect for continuous play.
I listen to this when working on homework or just chilling by myself. Has a hip urban sound to it. Reminds me of a high end bar filled with professionals. Get it if you like electronic lounge thats relaxing and sounds hip.
I wouldn't consider this music to be great art by any stretch of the imagination. With this kind of music.basically.it is what it is. You want to create a certain mood.to enjoy drinks, dinner etc etc with your significant other.
Those men were true geniuses of their craft. The compositions are imaginitive and have a way of sticking with you long after the record is over. I consider music by such composers as Beethoven, Mozart, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin to be great art.
This album gets it right. Thievery Corporation doesn't even come close to their level.That being said, Thievery Corporation does serve a purpose, and this particular record does it very well. There are times when you just want to chillout, and have some nice beats in the background.
For that, I give Mirror Conspiracy very high marks. Nothing more.nothing less.
I will continue to purchase their albums until I have them all. Absolutely brilliant. I am now a huge fan of Thievery Corporation. The Mirror Conspiracy is a beautiful album, and to me is very provocative. If you are even considering purchasing it, I highly recommend it.
When I first listened to the album I immediately was hooked on Thievery's smooth, worldly beats. This was the first Thievery album I purchased. I have had the album for five years, and it never gets old. Thievery does a great job of combining lounge music with a worldly feel, and I think this album best exemplifies that combination. In the case of the "Mirror Conspiracy", you will find French lyrics mixed with hypnotic melodies, while there is also a Middle Eastern flavor to some of the songs such as "Indra" and "Lebanese Blonde." I recommend this album to anyone who wants a smooth lounge experience, or anyone in general that just wants to listen to quality music.
