Our Take

Thievery Corporation's "The Richest Man in Babylon" is a mesmerising journey through sonic landscapes that will make you feel like you're floating on a cloud made of velvet. The album opens with the title track, a hypnotic blend of trip-hop beats and ethereal vocals that will transport you to a world where time stands still. It's a bit like being serenaded by a group of super chill aliens who have just discovered the joys of electronic music. As you delve deeper into the album, tracks like "Liberation Front" and "Facing East" showcase the duo's ability to seamlessly blend different musical influences, from reggae to bossa nova, creating a sound that is simultaneously familiar and otherworldly. Their collaboration with vocalists like Emiliana Torrini and Pam Bricker adds an extra layer of depth to the album, with soulful melodies and haunting lyrics that will linger in your mind long after the music has stopped. Overall, "The Richest Man in Babylon" is a truly unique listening experience that will take you on a sonic adventure like no other. So sit back, relax, and let Thievery Corporation's musical magic wash over you. Trust me, you won't regret it.
