Reviews
Una pequeña joya del "World Music" más elegante, una mezcla de Latín Jazz, Lounge, Dub, un disco muy recomendable. Uno de sus mejores trabajos, incluye una de mis favoritas de Thievery Corp. "La Femme Parallel".- The Thievery Corporation are known for their smooth grooves, but on RADIO RETALIATION, they begin to branch out. The reggae of "Sound the Alarm" has a rougher edge. Even the Indian vibes of "Mandala" get interrupted with some scratching and a grand horn fanfare. There's also a sharper political edge, from the Afro-beat anger of "Vampires" and the protest chant "El Pueblo Unido" gets a samba beat or the R&B-tinged anti-corporate screed of "33°." And never has revenge sounded as sweet as on "Retaliation Suite," and, really, you can't name a track "The Shining Path" (as dreamy and dubbed out as it is) and have it not carry a political meaning. But "Sweet Tides" takes the album out on a blissful note. No need to retaliate; the album hits it mark.
- As by default the Washington DC based duo has put out another great album. You can tell the splendid tunes off the first chords, eg 'Sweet Tides' or 'La Femme Parallel', but as usual there are tracks to discover over the time that only get better if listened for multiple times, eg 'The Shining Path', I'd say the best track of the album which also has all the ingredients required for the regular Thievery track. And of course as you can tell from the title of 'The Shining Path', it once again goes political.
A lot of ethnic material on this one. A must have album.
