Album Review
Like their debut album, Thievery Corporation's second, The Mirror Conspiracy, is a pleasant album of sublime mid-tempo trip-hop, reminiscent of easy listening groove music, and continually referencing the breezier, atmospheric side of Brazilian, Jamaican, French, and Indian forms. The nocturnal dub-poetry of "Treasures" sets a tone for the bruising basslines and echoey keys throughout the album, and "Lebanese Blonde" is another early highlight, with the graceful vocalese of Pam Bricker framing live sitar by Rob Myers and a Jamaican-style horn section. Brazil represents with a triple-shot of "Air Batucada," "So Com Voce" (with vocals from Bebel Gilberto), and "Samba Tranquille." French chanteuse Lou Lou adds a bit of downtempo continental flair on "Le Monde" and "Shadows of Ourselves," and Thievery Corporation even samples Ella Fitzgerald on the ambient-jungle closer "Tomorrow." As on their first LP, Garza and Hilton occasionally appear satisfied to just push a few grooves and reference their favorite styles of music over the top — at the expense of any new ideas — but The Mirror Conspiracy is excellently produced and almost as stylish as the duo's swinging suits on the cover.
Customer Reviews
Unbelievable
I was in Provincetown, MA ,(in cape cod), which is a very well-known gay area. (I am not gay, not that anything is wrong with it). I love every type of music. I had recently been obsessing over Mark Farina's six-CD compilation known as "Mushroom Jazz". Almost a mix between jazz and hip-hop. I walked past a music store blasting some mellow techno music. I walked in and talked to the owner for quite a while. He happened to be extremely knowledgable about music. Once I told him I had been listening to Mushroom Jazz, he immediately told me of the Thievery Corporation. That was a couple of months ago. Last week in a local Borders bookstore, I purchased The Mirror Conspiracy album. I cannot stop listening to it. It amazes me that people are actually making the music which I want to hear. Five-stars without hesitation. This album will lead me to their others. I have shown all of my friends and family. I'm starting a local music revolution, as they have globally. :]
Essential album for any collector of fine music.
I bought this CD when I was a senior in college the year it came out. To this day, I listen to it at least once a week, and it never gets old. I thought I knew all there was to know about music...and then I listened to Mirror Conspiracy. This album alone, introduced me to a new genre and allowed me to grow-up and out of the ordinary. It is a must have for any TRUE music lover.
Thievery is always good...
But once again Apple WTF with the partial album business, why exactly cannot we buy the whole thing again?
