Music reviews of Abductions and Reconstructions
Music Review: much worse than "the richest man"
Rating: 2 Stars
i agree with the other reviewers. this is the worst "thievery corporation" cd i've heard. buy "the richest man" by the same group and listen to the tracks "facing east", "the outernationalist" and "omid". or try the cut "originality" on thievery corporation's "versions" cd. much better than this collection of meandering drivel (abductions and reconstructions) where there is no real atmosphere, no groove, and only bad vocals.
or better yet, try the band "crystal method" (takes more chances and is very cool as background electronic groove music). crystal method is more for listening to inside, however the best of thievery corporation is also great music for firedancers (like by the ocean in big sur).
Description of Abductions and Reconstructions
Definitive collection of Thievery Corporation remixes featuring tracks by David Byrne, Baaba Maal, Rockers Hi-Fi, Stereolab, Pizzicato 5, Gus Gus, Hooverphonic, Black Uhuru & more. ESL Records.It's fitting that Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, the duo behind Thievery Corporation, run both a club and a label that have the name Eighteenth Street Lounge: all of the music (which shares the same dubby, acid-jazz flavor) on the label is perfectly suited to the club. Abductions and Reconstructions, however, is different from previous ESL releases, such as Dubbed Out in D.C., in that it's easily the label's most accessible album to date. It consists of 15 Thievery remixes of artists from Stereolab to David Byrne to Baba Maal and tends to be a lot more active than the duo's original compositions. Still, the tracks here bear only a passing resemblance to their original forms--in Thievery's hands, the songs are drawn out, tranced up, mellowed down, but each has its own flavor. The end result is an album that's both diverse and consistent and completely enjoyable. You could just as easily dance to these tracks as sit and lounge to them--the perfect soundtrack for either a great bar or your next party. --Randy Silver
