Thievery Corporation - Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi - 30-May-05 07:56 AM
Just a note: The track here "A Warning" is the track that appears on the ESL Dubplate single, and is different from "A Warning (Dub)" that appears on other versions. Same thing goes for the extended version of "Universal Highness". Further, "Shaolin Satellite" is the version found on the 12" single, and has been lengthened by a minute or so. "2001 Spliff Odyssey" differs from other versions by having a sample of someone talking during the period right before the sound of bottles clanking together (I'd assume that there was some copyright issue). "So Vast As The Sky" is as appears on the Dubbed Out In D.C. compilation (and which is longer than on the 4AD cd), and all other tracks are as they appear on other versions of this release. Worth it if you can find it.

Thievery Corporation - 2001 Spliff Odyssey - 22-May-05 10:21 PM
This version of Spliff Odyssey has the same different sample as on the 2 X LP version of Thievery Hi-Fi that occurs right before clanking bottles (it's not the 'seek detachment....but without desire' clip). This is otherwise the same as other versions, only instead of stopping at the 7:45 point, it goes on for a another 2 and a half minutes. Also, The Elis Affair is not the version that appears on the French Lebanese Blonde single[which should be called The Elis Affair (part 2)] or on the Encounter In Bahia single. This track does share the same drum pattern, and has the same vocals, only more of them.

Thievery Corporation - Encounter In Bahia - 05-Mar-05 12:31 AM
Just a note. The version of Encounter in Bahia appears here about about 6 and half minutes, not the 4 minutes on Thievery Hi-Fi. This is the same version as appears on the French Lebanese Blonde single. Speaking of which, the track that appears here, "Elis Affair (Part 2)" is the same track that appears on the French Lebanese Blonde single as Elise Affair. Apparently, the vocalist is named Elis Regina (yes, spelled without an 'e' on Elis), which is where they got the title. I have no idea if this is in any way related to the track Elis Affair that appears on the 2001 Spliff Odyssey single.
