5.0 out of 5 stars East-coast dub., 20 Jul 2000
A delectable long-player grounded in the diverse and lonely echo chamber of Thievery's stoned east coast vibes but strongly tempered with chic European jazz and bossonova lounge dub.

On "Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi" Rob Garza and Eric Hilton throw up a seamless blend of tribal drums, synth and samples in the mould of a more smoked Kruder and Dorfmeister, who incidentally have long championed the Thievery Corporation. The Washington based duo confound with a perfect representation of post acid-house sampling, stealing as their name suggests, from their treasure chest of old, borrowed and new musical ideas. These plundered breaks and beats are sewn together in a smoky multi-layered homage to all things dark and haunting to deliver a devilishly structured debut. Dripping from every pore with a syrupy sophistication "Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi" is a must for all fans of things leftfield and down-tempo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 21 Nov 2001
By A Customer
After buying the sumptuous Mirror Conspiracy (an incredible album to say the least), I decided to investigate the duo's other work. Unfortunately 'sounds from...' doesn't live up to the standards set by its successor. The tunes are quite minimalist - with similar beats to the subsequent ablum but with none of the richness. Although a good album if you're looking for something even more stoned than Nightmares on Wax, it's not what I'd come to expect from Thievery.

4.0 out of 5 stars My introduction to thievery, 5 Mar 2004
By "tintin00" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This was my first and definately not my last purchase of Thivery Corporation output. An excellent release this is sure to become the soundtrack for summer days for those who like things at the dubbed 'n' jazzed end of the downbeat spectrum.

I'm not a massive fan of Thievery - a lot of their personal music sounds very similar. But never fear, this is a compilation of other artists' work. I think it brilliant. Read more
