WORLD LOUNGE
Leaders of the horizontal protest Thievery Corporation remain resolutely political in their approach and there is really no mistaking who programmed this set of sophisticate dub lounge. The breadth of styles treated to their signature sound is impressive here, perhaps in reverence for their roster of guest contributors, afro-beat with Femi Kuti sidles up to Latin with Seu Jorge, defined soul numbers, dreamy female vocals and the customary stepping sitar dub. Yes, the Corp’s is a staggering talent for easing a world of ethnic influence through the desk and chroming them all into seemingly natural bedfellows.
