Thievery Corporation make abstract, instrumental, mid-tempo dance music somewhere between trip-hop and acid jazz. The production duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, Thievery Corporation released a few warmly received singles on their own Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) label (named for their Washington, D.C. bar and nightclub) in 1996. Previously known primarily among acid jazz and rare-groove DJs, the group shot to minor celebrity when a track from one of their early 12"'s appeared on respected DJ/producers Kruder & Dorfmeister's mix session for Studio K7's DJ Kicks series. Similar in many respects (and more than just number) to that Viennese production duo, Thievery Corporation subsequently grew in popularity among a wider audience of DJs and headphonaunts. Their debut full-length appeared in 1997, along with a compilation of Washington, D.C.-based electronica artists, Dubbed Out in DC (both on ESL). After 4AD signed the duo they began work on their second LP but were forced to postpone the release date after tapes were stolen in a mugging. The stopgap remix compilation Abductions & Reconstructions was released in 1999, and their second proper album The Mirror Conspiracy followed a year later. Their growing fame made them a natural to select tracks for the 2001 Verve compilation Sounds From the Verve Hi-Fi, and one year later, the duo returned with a third production LP, The Richest Man in Babylon. The mix album Outernational Sound and remix EP Babylon Rewound appeared in 2004. The Cosmic Game from 2005 featured guest vocalists Perry Farrell, the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, and David Byrne.

Too low to find my way Too high to wonder why I've touched this place before Somewhere in another time Now I can hear the sun The clouds drifting through the blinds A half a million thoughts Are flowing through my mind A satellite recalled your voice Sent me round the world again All the night you've dreamt away Sent me round my heart again One touch upon my lips And all my thoughts are clear I feel your smoky mist Up to the stratosphere Did you notify my way To hide a wonder why I've touched this place before, So we're in another time Now I can hear the sound The clouds drifting through the blidge A half a million thoughts Are flowing through my mind Did you notify my way To hide a wonder why I've touched this place before, So we're in another time Now I can hear the sound The clouds drifting through the blidge A half a million thoughts Are flowing through my mind

Lou Lou : Coeur Mécanique où sont tes piles ? Perdu dans un monde, tout etranger Quelle est la raison pour tous ces mensonges On a plus le droit de se renfermer Je n'ai pas le temps de perdre la tête Pour nous sauver de nous-même Je n'ai pas le temps de perdre la tête Pour nous sauver de nous-même Quelle est cette ivresse qui nous entraine D'ou vient tous ces mots qui m'attaquent Plaisirs incomplets qui m'envoutent On a plus le droit de fermer ses portes Je n'ai pas le temps de perdre la tête Pour nous sauver de nous-même Je n'ai pas le temps de perdre la tête Pour nous sauver de nous-même Pour nous sauver de nous-même Pour nous sauver de nous-même
Lou Lou : Mechanical Heart, where are your batteries? Lost in a completely strange world What is the reason for all these lies? We don't have the right to close ourselves off anymore I do not have time to panic To save us from ourselves I do not have time to panic To save us from ourselves What is this intoxication that draws us along Where do these words attacking me come from? Incomplete pleasures that bewitch me We don't have the right to close our doors any more. I do not have time to panic To save us from ourselves I do not have time to panic To save us from ourselves To save us from ourselves To save us from ourselves

What I did here Is in the past How could we see We'd never last And time will tell when you're all lies And now the truth Is your demise All my hurt All of your tears Our whole world Smoke and mirrors All my hurt All of your tears Our whole world Smoke and mirrors You hid yourself In wandered eyes But now I see Through your disguise From where I stand A lovely view Your world unwinds You come unglued All my hurt All of your tears Our whole world Smoke and mirrors All my hurt All of your tears Our whole world Smoke and mirrors

Omid (Hope)
Day by Day, people get sick of one another Day by day, people chase each other away I chose solitude For I lost faith in my world I had dreams of peace How simple hearted was i Day by day, people get sick of one another Day by day, people chase each other away Omid do what is in your power To save us from all this pain Forbid our lives to go by So fast and abruptly Without true love and happiness Day by Day, people get sick of one another Day by day, people chase each other away
PS. This song called Omid (Hope) is in Farsi (Persian). I thought it might be interesting to put original lyric there. So Kaveh Ahmadi wrote the lyric in Farsi words (but in English Alphabets) below : Farsi (Persian) (Text of Omid by Kamyar) Rooz be rooz a'damha, (x4) Az ham dige sir mishan, Az ham dige ghar mikonan, Rooz be rooz a'damha,(x2) Man az ha'meh joda shodam, Az in donya bizaar shodam, A'rezoie Solh dashtam, Che ghadr sadeh del boodam,(x2) A'rezoie Solh dashtam, Che ghadr sadeh del boodam, (x2) Rooz be rooz a'damha(x4), Az ham dige sir mishan, Az ham dige ghar mikonan, Rooz be rooz a'damha, (x2) Bia Omid kari bokon, Chareye dard ha ro kon, Nazar ke zendegi, Saree o tond tamoom beshe, (x2) Bedoon eshgh o shaadi, (x2) Rooz be rooz a'damha, (x4) Az ham dige sir mishan, Az ham dige ghar mikonan, Rooz be rooz a'damha, (x2)
All that we perceive
Pam Bricker : Everything that's real And everything unrealized All infinity Starts falling from your eyes We are fluid dreams Vivid memories All uncertainly Leads to eternity All that we perceive In every mystery Who are we What we see I can't comprehend Who are we What we see I can't comprehend Illuminating love falls from the skies To water the illusions in our eyes All that we desire and all we fear All our aspirations grow unclear We feel endlessly Beyond all gravity Who are we What we see I can't comprehend Wo are we What we see I can't comprehend

The Heart's Lonely Hunter The Truth is unspoken, a promise is broken I'm under surveillance, they know what my name is I need some protection, some love and affection There's 1000 reasons, but one is the number Welcome to my spaceship It's beautiful forever She's right here where you left her And the heart's a lonely hunter Save bottles of water and flour and sugar Turn off the AC and hang up the bed sheets Cover up windows, careful where the light goes Yank out the cable and blow out the candle Welcome to my spaceship You're beautiful forever She's right here where you left her And the heart's a lonely hunter Perfectly molded almost unfolded Under the counter well, that is your nature Drip grind or roasted, buttered or toasted The greater the db's the higher the AC Psycho acoustics Down in the black seats Stereo nation Amplification The brave and the righteous They're safe in their houses Now one is just a number The heart's a lonely hunter One is the number Heart is a hunter One is a number Heart is a hunter Welcome to my spaceship You're beautiful forever She's right here where you left her And the heart's a lonely hunter Welcome to my spaceship You're beautiful forever She's right here where you left her And the heart's a lonely hunter
Wires and Watchtowers How can the wicked smile while the world is burning How can they turn their eyes and walk away How can the blue bloods hide, while brothers killing brothers Why do they divide I and I for diamonds and gold The dreams of children they float to the sky And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise Tell me why oh why are we so blind The treasures of love lay buried inside Tell me why oh why do we deny The chains of Babylon are all in our mind The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining The wind of Jah will scatter them away The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining Jah will scatter he who has no shame The dreams of children they float to the sky And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise Tell me why oh why are we so blind The treasures of love lay buried inside Tell me why oh why do we deny The chains of Babylon are all in our mind Tell me why oh why are we so blind The treasures of love lay buried inside Tell me why oh why do we deny The chains of Babylon are all in our mind
The Time We Lost Our Way My mind is full bursting over With all these things I can't remember Every little single memory reminds me of you My eyes were weary with all these tears You left your shadow in my dreams And all my doubts seem to disappear when you came along Flowers melting up into the sky Hear my heart where our love colides We hear the songs we found in the times we lost our way Gentle memories replace our tears All the love we had is still right here We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way From without words can not describe What caused the stars to fall deep inside Every little single memory reminds me of you Our days are gone lost forever Reflecting light glistening under water Naturally this could be everything that seems so unreal Flowers melting up into the sky Hear my heart where our love colides We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way Gentle memories replace our tears All the love we had is still right here We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way Flowers melting up into the sky Hear my heart where our love colides We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way Gentle memories replace our tears All the love we had is still right here We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way

La Femme Parallel J'étais si jeune quand je l'ai rencontré Elle m'a prise par la main Elle m'a emmené au premier étage Elle m'a envoyé dans les nuages Elle m'a emmené dans les étoiles Dans sa chambre, odeur capricieuse Sur les murs des images au parallèle Aussi belle que son papa Charlotte avait de l'allure Aussi belle que sa maman Charlotte avait l'audace D'être elle-même sans perdre sa foi D'être elle-même sans perdre sa foi en elle J'étais si jeune quand je l'ai rencontré Elle m'a emmené dans les Batailles au fond de mon coeur Elle m'a envoyé quelque part de profond Aussi belle que son papa Charlotte avait de l'allure Aussi belle que sa maman Charlotte avait l'audace D'être elle-même sans perdre sa foi D'être elle-même sans perdre sa foi en elle Toujours un peu perdu dans les nuages Toujours un peu perdu dans les étoiles Toujours un peu perdu dans les nuages Toujours un peu perdu dans les étoiles Toujours un peu perdu dans les nuages Toujours un peu perdu dans les étoiles Toujours un peu perdu dans les étoiles Elle était perdue dans le son Elle était perdue dans le son Toujours un peu perdu dans les nuages Toujours un peu perdu dans les étoiles Elle était perdue dans le son Elle était perdue dans le son
I was so young when we first met She took me by the hand She led me to the first floor She sent me to the clouds She showed me the stars In her room "infectious" perfumes On the walls the pictures were all parallel As beautiful as her father Charlotte was elegant As beautiful as her mother Charlotte was audacious Proud to be holding faith in herself Proud to be holding faith in herself I was so young when we first met She took me in the Battles deep in my heart She sent me somewhere deep As beautiful as her father Charlotte was elegant As beautiful as her mother Charlotte was audacious Proud to be holding faith in herself Proud to be holding faith in herself Always loosing herself in the clouds Forever lost with the stars Always loosing herself in the clouds Forever lost with the stars Always loosing herself in the clouds Forever lost with the stars Forever lost with the stars She was lost in the sound She was lost in the sound Always loosing herself in the clouds Forever lost with the stars She was lost in the sound She was lost in the sound
Retaliation Suite We got to defend ourselves We intend to defend ourselves We did so in the past And we gonna do it today And the day after that and the day after that Because only through this proper example of the self-defense And the proper example of retaliation And by letting these people know that we move from some basic laws That anything that goes down will oppress people on the power of the oppressor It should be reciprocal and in plain proleterian workers' language It takes two to tango As soon as these motherfuckers go, we go It takes two to tango As soon as these motherfuckers go, we go, we go, we go...

Blasting Thru The City War keeps blasting thru the City tonight Love assassinated in broad daylight The righteous are hiding in the graveyard grass While the wicked sell their sons and daughters for cash Hope cries louder than gunshot sounds Wait for the dawning of light as we lay on the ground Things have gotten so low that they can't fall down Inspiration comes faster than incoming rounds Feel the struggle but don't give up the fight Life never seemed so clear through all the chaos tonight Fear is blasting through speakers tonight The land of the free and the vain Never misses its rights Hope cries louder than gunshot sounds Wait for the dawning of light as we lay on the ground Things have gotten so low that they can't fall down Inspiration comes faster than incoming rounds Open up your eyes Don't be blinded by the light All things must change It's always been the same Don't disguise ‘cause the system is devised to divide us Them can't divide I and I ??? Them can't divide Them can't divide I and I, I and I, I and I Them can't divide Them can't divide Them can't divide, I, and I War keeps blasting thru the City tonight Love assassinated in broad daylight The righteous are hiding in the graveyard grass The things I see, them can't see Them can't see, them can't see

Culture Of Fear
Web of deception Why can't they see How they always will deceive, yeah yeah Yeah yeah All that they weave is a web of deceit, oh yeah Why can't you see How they always will deceive, oh yeah All that they weave is a web of deceit, yeah yeah
Culture Of Fear Seems to me like they want us to be afraid, man Or maybe we just like being afraid Maybe we just so used to it at this point that it's just a part of us Part of our culture Security alert on orange It's been on orange since '01, G. I mean what's up man? Can a brother get yellow, man Just for like two months or something God damn Sick of that Mic check The groove is dead so I'mma rhyme like a lunatic I do this shit with an unassuming wit The Corporation conjured up the bass and the tempo My name is Lif, that's the intro, now let's go The flow of life throwing strife into the mix To the big dark condition and the word is sick The power's that be, a power in me To speak, a pause, stress and strife that I see everyday And more to speak upon the culture of fear It's up in your ear They're tellin' us, terrorists are about to strike, maybe tonight, right Let me just back up slowly, with critical analysis of those who control me It used to be we just had a screen in the crib, on the tv But now we carry screens when we leave see Laptops, smart phones, now we're never alone A new affliction I call it media dome But on the road famine is the programming You want to watch a favorite show because it's so slamming Hold hands and let's gaze into the beautiful glare While we're here so immersed in this culture of fear Yo We fear the IRS, fear for INS, fear God I'm more afraid of the credit card than the terror squad Cuz really y'all, they steppin' with weapons overseas Yet Mastercard and Visa won't allow me to breathe They deceive, the enemy is in the fine print They assassinate, sell it With no signal of the selling Won't some steal it to get a few with the blue sky It's beautiful, then a couple of choppers flew by, Dubai Represent an element ahead A sentiment that you feel on the road for real The deal starts with a smile, concludes with a hand shake Physical to alter your subliminal landscape Relief thinking I can really trust that guy To be honest could have should have really punched that guy Now it's operation shank a banker Thank you for the loan See you when you come to repossess my home Alone at night sweating with visions of Armageddon I've never seen the threat, yet I feel threatened Parts of our society designed to smear freedom Don't succumb to this culture of fear Don't succumb to this culture of fear Don't succumb to this culture of fear
Take My Soul Such strange ways to show Who we are what you know Put the love back in your heart Let's try forgiveness No self deception Little less reaction Little more reflection New trails are blazing in City shows no love tonight All the sounds come crashing in Inside and outside Running through your mind All the words collide Nothing left to hide Come on open your eyes Take my soul I don't need it anymore Don't let go You're the cure I'm looking for Take my soul I don't need it anymore Don't let go You're the cure I'm looking for Old habits creeping up Floating by riding high Silver clouds up above Come on open your eyes Take my soul I don't need it anymore Don't let go You're the cure I'm looking for Take my soul I don't need it anymore Don't let go You're the cure I'm looking for Take my soul I don't need it anymore...

Is It Over Far, far away I remember The world has gone astray Close your eyes Hold your breath Dream safer from the stars And now I'm tangled in her web Time ever passing I hear strange ghost Fragments remind me of a memory that's now broke Shadows and fiction I don't understand Do we ever really hold our dreams we thought we had Is it over Is it over Is it over I say goodbye I say goodnight Like a cloud afloat the ocean I'm just drinking in a day Such a night in a boat Stranded in the moonlight It's become my own refuge Time ever passing I hear strange ghost Shadows remind me of a memory that's now broke Shadows and fiction I can't understand Are we ever really in control of dreams we had Is it over Is it over Is it over Is it over

Free
Manipulating masses You talk out your asses Do you know what you say You manufactured passes And everybody's asking What we need today I bring you new And there's no hook I have no look Welcome to new I'll bring you new And I'll recruit you If you wanna come with me Scream out top of your lungs I want to be free Can you sing There is no hook We have no look And just for once Assume that you are blind And alone in your mind Can you say I am free Can you say I am free We understand That it is difficult to undo the chains of destruction Now strongest when you know it's true I am asking you to go back to the pyramidal tracks Of where you know you do not like The knowledge that has always been imparted to you Such high and low and sweet you'll grow I promise you it's not far Just hiding in the heart of your heart and all Embracing everything from ohms to charms, yeah I guess that crystals are beneath me No, they're only subliminally pushed away We cannot reap thee Got to work for what you're given in this world Fear transmission you're my girls and my boys of the rays You are not the puppets or the slaves or the toys We are working towards the morgue Nothing else makes as much sense as this Do I will continue on my mission with the risk to be free Come with me and my goals are transparent to the sea And my goals are parentally content to me I am free Come with me I am free Come with me

Firelight
Lou Lou Ghelichkhani :
Until the light faded away And firelight dancing with no pulse Our broken shadows rising from the walls Another groove without a name Carried through the floor Memory recalls visions I've lost All my dreams attended and then farewell, my love Train is gone, deep fog remains I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Under the sun sweet sounds remain The fire rise falling from the sky Chased by the deep cause rising from the heart Another groove without a name Carried through the floor Memory recalls visions I've lost All my dreams attended and then farewell, my love Train is gone, deep fog remains Another groove without a name Carried through the floor Memory recalls visions I've lost All my dreams attended and then farewell, my love Train is gone, deep fog remains Sola In Citta
Elin Melgarejo : Una città che non conosco E tu mi hai portato qui Ora sei andato via E non riesco a trovarti I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Ti cerco nella strada Ma non ti trovo più Dove sei Perché mi hai portato qui Dove stai Non conosco nessuno qui Sei andato via Sono sola in città Ti cerco dovunque Vieni e portami con te Dove sei Ho bisogno di incontrarti Dove stai Ho bisogno di stare con te Una città che non conosco E tu mi hai portato qui Ora sei andato via Ma non riesco a trovarti Voglio sentirti vicino Voglio tenerti vicino a me In questa folla di sconosciuti È il tuo viso che vorrei incrociare Dove sei Ho bisogno di incontrarti Dove stai Ho bisogno di stare con te Sei andato via E non ti trovo più Ti cerco dovunque Vieni e portami con te
No More Disguise Lou Lou Ghelichkhani : No more disguise Open my eyes Sitting alone Waiting for love To walk in the door Could we let go of all our fears Would you take me through all your dreams With silver drums Marching away never in time I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake No more disguise I'm lost in the sky We've left long ago With no reprise And now we've moved on The world is an illusion of dreams We're playing roles in silent movies Why do we hide Nothing is real and we'll dissappear Could we let go of all our fears Would you take me through all your dreams Dancing away like golden stars Up above, up above

Ghetto Matrix (Featuring Mr. Lif) The city was cold Replete with these sheets of old ways And stained tenements that were built for bold slaves Days collapse, street's name, perhaps Were traps, you could see it in the concrete cracks The lost hope is smoked The skies would devise for slowpokes Dreamers who seem to touch zenith Their arms couldn't reach without touching the breach A blunder, so the summers would have summoned police The heat reached through crevices To verify the visage of the nemesis No blemishes to find on this intricate design And odd no-brainer, the container was the mind The poverty stricken victims Produced the paint for the portrait So humble, yet the struggle was sold and went corporate It hit the world stage and got celebrated This odd mix of love and hatred the ghetto matrix It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined The mantra of the mission: Make money off the missing The streets were the rhythm When the six rounds hit 'em The shells danced in the moonlight of sunshine The blues, you could view them on the news at nine The vines grow over headstones and then homes Composed to give prose to the anguish and moans The worries of the world can't stop the cash crop The blood drop signifies a rise in the stock The matrix that enslaves us stops to seemingly balk But can't deny the fact that the act has gone pop Nonstop, the plot thickens with his and her children Echoes of the plight, like to have the youth listen Is it ghetto, is it urban, are you certain Are you a servant here to keep the sales surgin' All in all, it seems that no one can escape it This odd mix of love and hatred the ghetto matrix It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined It's on you, it's your mind It's a complex plan that keeps us confined

Mr. Lif) We set it off in many valuable ways During the day at night time here’s the rhyme Designs we project on the screen seem to promote dreams In other words fuck the smoke screens When liked minds connect frauds hit the deck You expect supreme intellect on the set I'm pushing negativity to the outersphere While my damn gold flow cuts off your outer ear Beware those who keep close to fear Because they may overlook their own flaws Pause, give yourself time to explore Your inner core where the true you was kept raw This is a fight to survive This is a fight to try to thrive This is a fight for you and I A fight for getting by A fight to feel alive This is a fight to survive This is a fight to try to thrive This is a fight for you and I A fight for getting by A fight to feel alive You’re standing at the edge of a canyon You’re thinking expansion Surveying the land and Not even realizing that the time is advancing You see another world in each direction you glance in The energy might become infectious if you let it seep into your synapses And perhaps it’s just the birth of an era, a world much better Than the one you found on the ground of your endeavor Another galaxy full of planets and stars For never drab die-hard fans thinking afar Pause, give it some time to explore Your inner core where the true you was kept raw This is a fight to survive This is a fight to try to thrive This is a fight for you and I A fight for getting by A fight to feel alive This is a fight to survive This is a fight to try to thrive This is a fight for you and I A fight for getting by A fight to feel alive This is a fight to survive This is a fight to try to thrive This is a fight for you and I A fight for getting by A fight to feel alive This is a fight to survive This is a fight to try to thrive This is a fight for you and I A fight for getting by A fight to feel alive

History (Feat. Mr. Lif & Sitali) You got the soul Live with it every day You got the role That everybody gotta play Break out the rows Learn your history You got the soul Live with it every day... First and foremost I'm a black Barbadian man A Bajan Yankee Who was born in this American land My role Well, I'm the griot Blessed with free flow And a pea coat My cause I came to connect with people My history is spotty just like yours I've lied to myself I've broken laws I've told untruths to others I love my father and my mother and my brother You love your family too Well let's consider this our glue As we're bonded through this common experience Don't get distracted by the variants I'm holding pain Here it is I can't be black without historic, systematic oppression I can't look at a cop without second guessing These are confessions of the heaviness and stress I hold daily But still light on my feet like Alvin Ailey I'm just a mortal man talking with you We all cling to the things we hold true You got the soul Live with it every day You got the role That everybody gotta play Break out the rows Learn your history You got the soul Live with it every day... Maybe you heard of Nat Turner the rebellious slave He's well known because he misbehaved Or rather he behaved in ways that aligned with his people's freedom So of course you know the system needed to delete him This happened back in 1831 Nowadays I feel our lives are just a living, breathing issue of the re-run The Power divide initialized to never skip a season Look at the collective consciousness and what we've become The punishment for slave rebellion back then Was to limit education for black women and black men Look at the current costs of education Plus check out the music on your local station Mind numbing the times coming to seize a change The media will spin the shit to make the activists all look deranged I'm just a mortal man talking with you We all cling to the things we hold true You got the soul Live with it every day You got the role That everybody gotta play Break out the rows Learn your history You got the soul Live with it every day...
