Thievery Corporation / 33 degree... One of my all times favorites:

I'm the president of the shadow government
The grand governor of the federal reserve
Public enemy of the society
The one you cannot see the thirty three degree

Before you call the shot but now it's our turn
Blow up the system now and tables have turned
Your hidden knowledge you thought I'd never learn
I strike a match and make the whole place burn

I'm the real WMD
I'm your number one public enemy
I'm the one, your runaway slave
I'm the one, the one who got away

Automatic rapid fire
Automatic make me inner danger
Automatic rapid fire
Automatic make me inner danger

Lethal make me lethal, I'm a weapon
Danger make me danger AK-47
Lethal make me lethal, I'm a weapon
Danger make me danger

Cameras that track me
They try to entrap to me
Through shadows I creep
'Cause I know exactly
The knowledge you keep
I'm the word on the street
I've got nothing to lose
The whole World to gain
Slipped out of your noose
Now I'm running your game

I beat the hive
I upset the swarm
Category five
I'm the center of the storm

With 33degree they are referring to the highest level of freemasonry.

Really enjoying it.  Always been a fan of simple acoustics - combine that with an Indie-Country vocal feel, good lyrical content - and the way Joy & John Paul's voices seem to dance, wind and seamlessly blend together .... sure-fire winner.
 
I really hope they manage to reconcile their differences - as they really are special together.

BT - Morceau Subrosa​

 

This came on as the second or third track on shuffle during my walk. Usually I skip album-length tracks like this when I'm taking a stroll, favoring a larger selection of music, but this time I decided to embrace the more focused aural journey. It ended up being the first time I genuinely enjoyed the album from start to finish. The first time I heard it I didn't like it at all, and on the subsequent couple of listens I've only managed to like the first third or so. I must admit that my mind did wander during some sections of the piece, but it's not like you're actually supposed to listen to ambient music anyway; you either let it play while absorbed in thought, or drift in it with your mind clear of any conscious thought. That's how I see it anyway.

 

Edit

I forgot to mention that unlike most BT albums I've heard, to my ears this album sounds much better on headphones than through speakers. Sure some of the subtle panning differences are lost on cans, but my current opinion at least is that the mix works better with phones. My experience is funny enough the exact opposite with If the Stars Are Eternal So Are You and I, which although quite good on cans, absolutely shines on a good pair of speakers. It is definitely more of a speaker mix in my opinion.

I enjoyed it too - although I personally didn't really hear any Led Zep III in it like someone remarked a few days ago.
