Standard jewel case with slipcase. :Washington, D.C.'s Thievery Corporation purvey a very mellow, deliberately international mixture of sounds that might be called 'lounge music'--not in the kitschy sense, but in the sense of a laid-back local bar (much like the one the duo happens to run) with no dance floor. Rob Garza and Eric Hilton are professed admirers of Brazilian music, and they're determined to inject as ...

Versions
: :Versions gathers 18 Thievery Corporation remixes from across a music spectrum that only the most eclectic could love. The vinyl-popping digital duo embraces '60s psychedelia with the Doors and '60s kitsch with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. They put them all into the mixmaster, usually adding the downtempo jazzy electro-lounge beats upon which they built their early reputation. Alpert's 'Lemon Tree,' taken from the recent Whipped Cream & Other Delights Rewhipped, is a vintage noirish mood piece, but this doesn't always work. Fear of Pop's 'In Love' becomes a tedious ...

Similarly esoteric and nocturnal, The Cosmic Game floats around the room on a ...

Sounds from the Verve Hi-Fi
: :Get ready for your jazz education. These virgin, unremixed tracks taken from the 1960s Verve vaults were a major influence on Thievery Corporation's Rob Garza and Eric Hilton years before they spun epic documents like The Mirror Conspiracy. Their time capsule is a bubbling, Brazilian soul-jazz blast, starting with the sensuous 'Menina Flor' by Stan Getz and Luis Bonfa. Jimmy Smith's 'Road Song' is a classic of '60s hard bop, while Kenyon Hopkins's 'Hard Latin' shows the kind of groovy organ jazz that was popular in bars from Philly to hot ...
