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.
I purchased this cd for a dinner party I had and it was a big hit. The music created an upbeat but a lounge-like vibe, which was what I wanted. It's also nice music to listen to when you're just tired of all the ying-yang on the radio and you want to just chill.
If you're looking to check out Thievery Corporation, this is the place to start. I got into them a few years ago, and this is their best, most consistent album from start to finish. I usually only like around 1/2 of the songs on their albums, but this one has no clunkers. Cosmic Game or Richest Man in Babylon are the next best.
If you really want to hear world music, get the real thing, not this elevator-music version.
