 Thievery Corporation: The Cosmic Game - PopMatters Music Review
For Thievery Corporation's fourth full-length of original material, the group turns increasingly to the aid of some handsome strangers to distill their prime influences of African diaspora music into a modern beat dub.
Notch, featured on the Corporation's last album, takes a step deeper into the pocket by heavily buttering his toasts on "Amerimacka"; his critical warning shot is lover's rock smooth, but runs roots deep: "If she had only stood for love / That would have been enough / But now we all burn in her plan".
Nimble bongos and bouncing bass trace the Corporation's path back to Nigeria as Shako David Byrne struts his tail feather through "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter." Horns punctuate the melody, keys wash and echo throughout, and Byrne's flat intonation modernizes Afro-Beat, making one of the more progressive collaborations of the album.

Thievery Corporation's fourth album, The Cosmic Game, finds the duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton in their most expansive mood yet, as their latest sonic exploration blurs the boundaries between rock, breaks, future-bossa, dub, and other mind-altering sounds.
Ironically, Thievery Corporation formed in Washington D.C., a city the duo often refer to as 'the real Babylon." One major by-product of life in the heart of empire is the diversity of the people it attracts to its riches.
Even as the terminology and lexicon has come and gone (trip-hop, downtempo, chill out, leftfield and other innocuous record industry monikers), Thievery Corporation have managed to defy the confines of category and creatively tap in to their deep appreciation for by-gone sounds as they deftly re-interpret them in their own innovative fashion.

 Thievery Corporation: The Richest Man in Babylon: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Thievery Corporation understand that in a city where Moby's Play is perceived as cutting-edge, they don't have to try too hard-- all it takes is to remember never to release anything that hasn't been exhaustively tried and tested, and in service for years.
The duo realizes that a smattering of international elements-- a brief tabla sample here, an oud there-- will confer apparent substance on tracks that are never to be listened to, but rather to become part of the daily, accessorizing ritual that is the lives of the city's "elite".
The Richest Man in Babylon is a career-low for Thievery Corporation and ESL.

 Morphizm.com -- "Not As Much Tech As You Think:" An Interview with Thievery Corporation
As Thievery Corporation, they rewrote the book on so-called lounge music, tossing dub, trip-hop, jazz and world groove into a musical blender and serving up the results on a series of four extra-chilled studio albums and innumerable remixes and compilations.
And as the founders and heads of the Eighteenth Street Lounge club and record label, they've created a small empire of like-minded artists, DJs and fans, based in their native Washington, DC but extending around the globe.
Now Thievery appears poised to take their unique sound to an even broader audience -- and maybe even finally score that radio hit.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Thievery Corporation: The Cosmic Game
I hate dropping the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" cliché as much as you probably hate reading it, but this trite music writer-ism becomes genuinely apt when discussing Thievery Corporation.
What's more, they've done it without leaving a slime trail of smarmy dilettantism and hipster irony in their wake, so it's in everyone's best interest that they continue to work within their established aesthetic on The Cosmic Game.
Thievery Corp's simple, understated instrumentation has always been a large part of their charm, but it runs the risk of working to their detriment when bold personalities like Byrne or Perry Farrell assume vocal duties.
