Thievery Corporation
The Cosmic Game
(Esi)
Thievery Corporation has taken their spacey dub sound even further on The Cosmic Game. With the help of several guest vocalists, the duo has merged aggressive and subtle elements into a downbeat groove that holds the album’s core. The most apparent of these ventures is the inclusion of Wayne Coyne on “Marching the Hate Machines into the Sun.” As Coyne delivers some of his most vividly cinematic yet minimal lyrics to date, the band shows new depth and potential for their sound.
