Sounds From the Thievery Hi‐Fi

Thievery Corporation

Deeply textured dub and trip-hop that defined the 90s lounge aesthetic. Smoky, bass-heavy, and globally minded with a distinct late-night urban pulse.

1996 · Music Land Records (2)

A sophisticated, nocturnal drift through global rhythms and deep-seated dub grooves.

Moments Worth Listening For
The deep, earth-shaking dub bassline that anchors '2001 Spliff Odyssey' for nearly eight minutes.
The way the sitar melody cuts through the hazy percussion on 'Shaolin Satellite'.
The transition into the bossa nova swing of 'Mañha' that shifts the album's geography instantly.
