Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
It's fitting that Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, the duo behind Thievery Corporation, run both a club and a label that have the name Eighteenth Street Lounge: all of the music (which shares the same dubby, acid-jazz flavour) on the label is perfectly suited to the club. Abductions and Reconstructions, however, is different from previous ESL releases, such as Dubbed Out in D.C., in that it's easily the label's most accessible album to date. It consists of 15 Thievery remixes of artists from Stereolab to David Byrne to Baba Maal and tends to be a lot more active than the duo's original compositions. Still, the tracks here bear only a passing resemblance to their original forms--in Thievery's hands, the songs are drawn out, tranced up, mellowed down, but each has its own flavour. The end result is an album that's both diverse and consistent and completely enjoyable. You could just as easily dance to these tracks as sit and lounge to them--the perfect soundtrack for either a great bar or your next party. --Randy Silver

Not great as a remix album, but super selection anyway,
By
This review is from: Abductions and Reconstructions (Audio CD)
What can you say about a compilation that includes streaks from a cross section of bands as psychedelic as Baaba Maal, Black Uhuru, Avatars of Dub and Gus Gus? That it's ambitious.The music here is neat, as almost anything from Thievery usually is, just that the title seems to promise some sort of remixing ("Reconstruction"?). In that sense the album fails miserably, I'd still pick K&D anyday for spiffy remixes of tracks of all genres. Having said that though, this straightforward album gets my top marks for a decent selection of trip-hop grooves. Noteworthy: Hooverphonic, Gus Gus, Slide 5, Urbz 'n Chaos. Nothing to shout from rooftops about, but a worthy addition to your downtempo collection nonetheless...

This is a good CD that gets you grooving excellent Drive music with the Sun Roof open or on a long ride to a party. You will really get your juices flowing.

very good thievery mix - must have for any downtempo fan!!,
By Hafid Saba (Scottsdale, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Abductions and Reconstructions (Audio CD)
Thievery corp. has really made a name for themselves with their lines of cd's that are truly a wonderful journey in downtempo grooves everytime one sits down to listen to them. These guys bring in influences from all over the world for their music and the result is a wonderful mix perfect for the late night cocktail and a night by the fireplace with a few good friends. Notable tracks on this cd:kc doppler the others aren't bad, but not for me. i pick these for their wonderful quality and mysterious sound. well worth a buy!
