Thievery Corporation - Focus On Sight

Review by Vladimir Sverak

Thievery Corporation's album "Focus On Sight" is a masterful blend of electronic, dub, and world music. The duo, Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, have created a sonic journey that takes the listener on a trip around the world. From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Emiliana Torrini on "Until the Morning" to the groovy beats of "The Outernationalist," each track is a unique and captivating experience.

The album starts with the hypnotic "Marching the Hate Machines (Into the Sun)," featuring the sultry voice of Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips. The track sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is a mix of downtempo beats, lush instrumentation, and political commentary.

One standout track is "The Richest Man in Babylon," which features the soulful vocals of Notch. The song is a commentary on the greed and corruption of the wealthy, and the lyrics are as powerful as the music.
