...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.

...worked very hard with this most recent offering from N.O.W - 'In A Space Outta Time' is a really outstanding listening experience - a multicultural hotpot of sounds, leaving you with a sense of travelling the world and returning home with a fresh, warming memory of diverse musical experiences.

After excellent The Richestman in 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.
ThieveryCorporation 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 add some guests like Perry Farrell, David Byrne, Gunyan, Loulou, Notch, Sleepy Wonder, Verny Varela, The Flaming Lips and few others you’ll have The Cosmic Game.
Don’t let this make you think it is another remix type of album...
