Details: Amazon.ca Getting back to their turntables after the all-original work on 2002's The Richest Man in Babylon, Thievery Corporation dust off a collection of soulful wax for The Outernational Sound. Rob Garza and Eric Hilton have gone with an increasingly organic approach since their relatively electronic and modern Mirror Conspiracy, looking more back than forward. Happily, the duo has good taste. If that wasn't obvious after the collections on Babylon and 2001's Sounds from the Verve Hi-Fi, Outernational ends the argument. The record rambles through Brazilian jazz, afro-beat, and a kaleidoscope of funked-up rhythms that only a serious purveyor of world beat chill tunes could unearth. Their big ears, however, can't always keep up with their DJ skills; 20 tracks are smooshed into just over an hour, and you can feel Garza and Hilton sweating to make the different musical bloodlines congeal. You'll likely find yourself playing only sections of the record, depending on your mood. Still, whatever section you settle on should supply a hearty dose of satisfaction. --Matthew Cooke Product Description The Outernational Sound is a seamless recording from many nights of sonic exploration with a crate of records and turntables. From warehouse parties in Caracas to elegant soirees in Honolulu, and rootdowns in Kingston, Garza and Hilton have played a lot of rare wax for a broad spectrum of listeners. Now, in a one hour mix CD, the soundsystem has been mashed up and the whole world can share in the Outernational Sound with Thievery Corporation.
