If Jarre were a hipster

Customer Rating:
I have always been a fan of electronica starting way back with Jean Michel Jarre and Eddie Jobson. Thievery Corp take this genre up a notch with their amazing rhythms and digital sampling. I find this music perfect for continuous play.

Nice album for relaxing or doing work.

Customer Rating:
I listen to this when working on homework or just chilling by myself. Has a hip urban sound to it. Reminds me of a high end bar filled with professionals. Get it if you like electronic lounge thats relaxing and sounds hip.

Not great art, but serves its purpose well

Customer Rating:
I wouldn't consider this music to be great art by any stretch of the imagination. I consider music by such composers as Beethoven, Mozart, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin to be great art. Those men were true geniuses of their craft. Thievery Corporation doesn't even come close to their level.

That being said, Thievery Corporation does serve a purpose, and this particular record does it very well. There are times when you just want to chillout, and have some nice beats in the background. You want to create a certain mood...to enjoy drinks, dinner etc etc with your significant other. This album gets it right. The compositions are imaginitive and have a way of sticking with you long after the record is over. For that, I give Mirror Conspiracy very high marks.

With this kind of music...basically...it is what it is. Nothing more...nothing less.

AMAZING

Customer Rating:
Absolutely brilliant! I am now a huge fan of Thievery Corporation. I will continue to purchase their albums until I have them all. The Mirror Conspiracy is a beautiful album, and to me is very provocative. If you are even considering purchasing it, I highly recommend it.

Thievery Corporation a Conspiracy or the Real Deal? ... the Real Deal

Customer Rating:
This was the first Thievery album I purchased. I have had the album for five years, and it never gets old. When I first listened to the album I immediately was hooked on Thievery's smooth, worldly beats. Thievery does a great job of combining lounge music with a worldly feel, and I think this album best exemplifies that combination. In the case of the "Mirror Conspiracy", you will find French lyrics mixed with hypnotic melodies, while there is also a Middle Eastern flavor to some of the songs such as "Indra" and "Lebanese Blonde."
I recommend this album to anyone who wants a smooth lounge experience, or anyone in general that just wants to listen to quality music.
