Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game
The album title sort of gives it away, if you are a long term fan it's the now familiar formula of smooth chill type beats mixed with a taste of the exotic and Far East in fact quite a heavy dose of the Far East on this one with plenty of percussion to give your sub woofer a workout.
How does this fit in with other sorts of music I listen to well it doesn't really it's different and for me that's the appeal, nobody should limit themselves to a certain type of music. It's the sort of album you can slip on and unwind to and before you know it you've reached track 16. For me I love it when they bring in their dub influences and guest vocalists, this time around it's Perry Farrell and David Byrne to name a couple who do a decent job. If you haven't heard them before and want to try something different why not have a dabble with this one.
Cheers
