I pick this "band" just for fun and it sounds pretty descent.
The album is "The Mirror Conspiracy". Anyone in here heard of these guys before?

 

[organicabstract]

yup.

i saw it at my local record store for 5.99 and had to grab it.

i think they're more than decent haha. they're awesome.

ive been listening to them over the past couple years, and my interest has really gone on and off. I am kinda indifferent when it comes to electronica/down tempo, it all depends on the mood im in. Either way, theivery is one of the best groups in there genre! Versions is their new cd.

 

[bonesinc]

Yes! I like them a lot. And most of the other artists of the same label (Eighteenth Street Lounge). Currently I'm really into 'The Cosmic Game'.

 

[redshifter]

yes. they are on my short list of acts i heard on kexp.org that i mean to check out.

I like "The Mirror Conspiracy" the best of their albums. I was excited to see them live last year, but ended up being disappointed. This was at the Hollywood Bowl, so they might be better at a smaller venue.

Thievery Corporation is great, one of my favourite. I have everything they have released but haven't had the pleasure of seeing them live yet. Richest Man in Babylon or The Cosmic Game are good choices for a second album to get, but they are all good.

 

[antiant]

yes...i have most of their stuff, i believe

 

[asmox]

Yup... good stuff.

On a related note, for Christmas a few years back I received a variety of albums from my parents, one of them being The Mirror Conspiracy. My sister, who is also a Thievery Corp fan, noticed and mentioned that her ex-boyfriend is actually Rob Garza's cousin.

Freaky.

hey nac! long time no see

i'm actually listening to some thievery right now atm

 

[floydenheimer]

Thievery Corp is great!

If you dig them, check out The Cinematic Orchestra.

 

[nineohtoo]

They're really good. I got into them and most of the other bands on the Garden State OST when that film came out.

Hiya Ant..
Yup been busy of late, so mainly a lurker. I should probably post my latest gets in the World thread..Vas, Natacha Atlas to name some...
Back OT...nineohtoo..The Garden State OST (remarkable for such an iffy movie..but I digress) is a very good set of songs..maybe you should try out the new Shins cd too.

On a similar note, a friend of mine used to date Esthero in highschool. Too bad she sucks now.

Still, her first album was great.

NacMacFeegle - Lead singer?

floydenheimer - Cinematic Orchestra is great. Not really too similar, but I agree that most thievery corporation fans would probably enjoy them. Another band like that is Nightmares on Wax. Very different, but fast becoming a favourite of mine.
