Amazon.co.uk Review
Washington's finest purveyors of hazy downbeat soundscapes have already produced two stoned classics with Sounds from The Thievery H-Fi (4AD) and their DJ Kicks mix on K7! Records. Their latest longplayer walks to the same tempo but with an overall more purposeful musical strut. It's organic for a start, with live vocals and sounds, trading in the slightly sullen slow-mo digi-dub for a more refined and soulful brand of chic. Check the breathless beauty of Marla's voice on "La Monde" and "So Com Voce" as she floats into the spaces left empty on previous Thievery encounters. They manage to wring every half-drop of their main musical influences (dub, soundtracks and bossa) into this beautiful record as it sinks into deep waters, oozing sophistication all the way down. Perfect accompaniment when too spannered to dance, this contains the added bonus of jazzual jungle finale, "Tomorrow" to liven you up from contented slumber just before the CD ends. Sweet like syrup, not chocolate. --Dan Stacey

 sublime June 26, 2007
It is wonderful to have a WHOLE listenable album of amazingly well crafted, chilled, sophisticated music by one group.
I just love this album, Lebanese Blonde is one of the best chill out tunes of all time but there are some other truly great tracks on there.
Languidly warm and cool... October 27, 2005

Thievery Corporation lay down the perfect late night CD. Full of warm, atmospheric sounds and super cool vocals it effortlessly switches between electronica, chill out, latin, bossa-nova, eastern raga and even dub without losing the languid vibe that underpins it all and which drives the whole album along. Nothing too challenging and nothing to break the spell, just excellently produced and cleverly designed melodies that provide the perfect backdrop to pure relaxation.They do the harder stuff equally well - check out "DJ Kicks" and "The Cosmic Game" for two of their best examples - but, like all great artists, they know where they're going & what they want here, and they then do it... superbly.

Welcome to the world of kitsch; a world where as long as you label it 'chill-out' you can get away with any old load of pony. Chuck in a few reggae bass lines, a few snatches of foreign lingo, some lazy keyboards and samples and Rab's yer mother's brother. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. It is laziness personified.
Errrr....you didn't like it then? Nope - a complete waste of money that went straight back on the Used market.

This is a beautifully crafted album from the sublime horns of "Treasures" past the smoking delights of "Lebanese blonde" through to "Tomorrow" and beyond if you want. Sit back, roll up and chill out...it doesn't get much better.
