VERSIONS, the follow-up to Thievery Corporation's well-received 2005 album, THE COSMIC GAME, presents a collection of laid-back remixes from Eric Hilton and Rob Garza. While the lauded electronica duo does offer up three of its own tracks (including the previously unreleased reggae number "Originality," with Sister Nancy), the set is primarily dedicated to other artists, whether it's a dreamy reworking of Nouvelle Vague's "This Is Not a Love Song" (a Public Image Ltd. cover), a beat-heavy tweaking of the Doors' "Strange Days," or a trip-hop take on Sarah McLachlan's "Dirty Little Secret." With its high-profile acts and inventive production, VERSIONS outshines Thievery Corporation's DJ-KICKS mix, placing it on par with the revered earlier compilation ABDUCTIONS & RECONSTRUCTIONS.Q (p.126) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Washington DC duo layer-up the shimmering beats, bleeps and zero-gravity dub."

Versions CD music
$12.89  
Thievery Corporation's second album strengthens the duo's reputation as masters of downtempo, internationally influenced beats. Borrowing from bossa nova, dub reggae, French torch songs, Italian movie soundtracks, and jazz, THE MIRROR CONSPIRACY is a sophisticated, pleasurable listen.
The album is sequenced beautifully, with sexy, world-weary tracks such as "Samba Tranquille" floating into the downtempo torch stylings of "Shadows of Ourselves." The album's international flavor comes from places as diverse as Jamaica, ("Focus on Sight" featuring I-See on vocals), Paris' Arab quarter ("Le Monde"), and opium dens and teahouses ("Indra," "Lebanese ...

Versions music CDs
$13.05
Eric Hilton and Rob Garza, the Washington, D.C. duo better known as Thievery Corporation, continue to refine their previously established style on THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON. For their third proper album of new material, they continue to mine a mellow electronica groove with jazz, pop, and world music flavorings mixed in among the expected reggae, soul, and funk elements. The title tune and "The State of the Union" focus heavily on the reggae aspects of Thievery Corporation's sound, while "Liberation Front" bears more of an acid-jazz feel. The closing track "Resolution" (along with a few others) is more in line with that ethereal trip-hop flow for which Hilton and Garza are perhaps best known. On the graphics side, a great deal of time appears to have been put in to the package here, which includes ...
