What a great music

Advantages: Thievery Corporation at the best
Disadvantages: none

...Babylon album in 2003, The Cosmic Game is expected step forward, and not just that, it is breathtaking musical experience for TC fan’s but surely will attract new ones. Thievery Corporation is one unusual duet. They mix, blend and experiment with music and the products is finest music you could hear this days. If you like down tempo, jazz, boss nova, samba, oriental ethno, reggae and rock music, just try to imagine all this on one album. Then ...
...few others you’ll have The Cosmic Game. Don’t let this make you think it is another remix type of album (although TC have done as much remixes as their original songs), it is very unique, profound and thoughtful collection of songs that will make you come back for more many times. Marching the Hate Machines (Into the Sun) featuring The Flaming Lips – light and atmospheric sound with few lazy beats, but also pay attention to lyrics. ...

Review of Mirror Conspiracy, The - Thievery Corporation

Perfect, luxurious chillout

Advantages: Original, multi-cultural tunes and exotic interludes
Disadvantages: Occasionally sounds repetitive, bland product design

...based in Washington DC, "The Richest Man In Babylon" being their third full-length album. Their music boldly mixes many world music styles - including indian bhangra, brazilian bossa nova and reggae - all presented in a comforting lounge asthetic, perfect for lazy days or relaxing working music. The duo consists of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, who teamed up in 1995. You have undoubtedly heard many of their tunes, on tv shows, adverts & films (such ...
...appeal to anyone. The Richest Man In Babylon is, in my opinion, one of their best offerings. Rolling Stone gave it 4 out of 5 stars, and for me this still doesn't justify how good this album is. It features live instrumentation, and incorporates the diverse voices of various artists from many countries - including Iceland's Emiliana Torrini and various jamaican rappers. The album is arranged meticulously. It's dreamlike opening track "Heaven's Gonna ...

Review of Richest Man In Babylon, The - Thievery Corporation

The "Miles_Gurtu" experiment

Advantages: A blend of intricate beats, varied jazzy melodies and experimental soundscapes.
Disadvantages: Over-tweaking disrupts the ambience occasionally. No mainstream appeal. Some tracks don't work.

Take a Swiss-Italian ambient trance producer (Robert Miles) and blend together with an Indian percussionist (Trilok Gurtu). Add other talented musicians to the mix and allow to simmer gently, making sure you season generously with electronic sculpting and processing. The resulting album is an interesting fusion of acoustic instruments, electronic processed sounds, intricate beats, jazz and experimental soundscapes. Released in 2004, “MilesGurtu” ...
...the dream trance that he became famous for. It builds on his previous album “Organik” (released in 2001), which was his first attempt at creating an experimental sound. This album is characterised by being completely instrumental although 3 tracks feature vocal samples. Double bass, strings, guitar and rhodes performances feature frequently, creating delicate melodies whilst complex beats are generated from drums and tabla. Many tracks shift and ...

Review of Miles_Gurtu - Robert Miles & Trilok Gurtu

Slightly disappointed but still good

Advantages: some golden oldies
Disadvantages: alot of the tunes you will have on the older gatecrasher cds

When I saw this product advertised on the television I was so excited because I have all the gatecrasher albumns and I just loved the idea of a best of gatecrasher albumn but then you get the the idea of, is it worth buying it cos you will have most thesongs alreadyalbeit on 10 different albumns. So there is the first good point of this albumn, all the classics on one albumn that you can stick on, on a saturday night and dance away till your hearts ...
...tunes and some not so good tunes so like me I was tempted just to buy it off itunes and download the tunes I liked but at 99p each I found I like more than £9.99 worth of tunes so I bought the albumn. Theres some old time favourites and some current classics with some great remixes and with 3 cds you really do get your moneys worth. Its a mixture of house and dance and a little bit of trance thrown in. You can dance to this music and it really would ...
