 album reviews

Electronic music ordinances decree Babylon Rewound a "remix collection," but the eight-track set has a lot in common with traditional Jamaican dub albums as it stretches out the tunes from the Richest Man in Babylon album to their laziest and druggiest potential. Problem is, these so-so tunes don't really deserve this treatment, but they're actually improved by all the wandering, since Thievery Corporation are groovier remixers than most. Groovier than Kid Loco -- judging from his smooth jazzing and unnecessary take on "Until the Morning" -- but not as cool as Voidd, who adds a light house touch to "Un Simple Histoire," the highlight by far. Getting lost in Thievery Corporation's dubby remixes is easy, since lazier and looser are qualities their buttoned-up Richest Man could have benefited from. The crooked path the new, reggae-drenched track "Truth and Rights" takes suggests even they're aware of the need to loosen the tie, but it fades right as it catches fire, pulling its punch. Still, there's more sensi and less sensibility than usual, which makes Babylon Rewound necessary for fans and worth checking for dabblers. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

Here is the Billboard review:

Dance-Music Duo Thievery Corp. Goes 'Cosmic'

Fri Jan 28,11:20 PM ET

By Michael Paoletta

NEW YORK (Billboard) - With three studio albums to its credit, Washington, D.C.-based duo Thievery Corporation has effortlessly crafted a musical style that many have dubbed the Thievery Corporation sound. Warm, lush and elegant, that sound has been influenced by hip-hop, dub, bossa nova, dance/electronic, soul and jazz.

While the act's fourth full-length recording, "The Cosmic Game," retains these elements, it also finds Thievery Corporation's Eric Hilton and Rob Garza sneaking in some hefty dollops of psychedelic pop and alternative rock. The duo's rhythmically rich sound just got richer and more mature.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
