View More By Thievery Corporation Our ReviewThe Thievery Corporation have always faced a bit of a quandary when it comes to reconciling their music and their message. While their lyrics and song titles often imply a fairly radical critique of Western power structures, their dreamy, seamlessly produced fusion of trip-hop and world beat would provide a far more convincing soundtrack for a mid-afternoon daydream than a revolution. Despite this apparent disjunction this Washington D.C.- based duo have nonetheless managed to produce a string of albums that can only be applauded for their effortless evocations of dub, boss nova, tropicalia and a myriad of other styles. Culture of Fear marks a happy return to the more placid waters of classic Thievery Corporation albums like The Mirror Conspiracy and Richest Man In Babylon. The album’s strongest moments occur when guests arrive to give some focus to its indisputably lovely, but sometimes meandering productions, as when Boston bred underground rapper Mr. Lif enlivens the title track with some incisive verses on mass media and surveillance culture.. Customer ReviewsYou have a new fan TC! (5 stars)This is a great album. My favorite tracks are Fragments and Web of Deception but like them all. If you like TC than I also recommend you go listen to Eric Walker's Tangier Dream cd here on itunes. It has some great instrumental tracks that brings me back to the day when I first heard Jarre, Tangerine Dream, and Daft Punk. Go listen to it for yourself.

This time around they have taken their signature sound up a notch with a smorgasbord of world sounds and some very scrumptious surprises. You will be so amazed with all of the guest tracks on this one with the likes of Mr. Lif, LouLou, Sleepy Wonder, Shana Halligan and s Smooth As Always.... (5 stars) TC never disappoints. Highly recommend!
