Aiight, I've mentioned Thievery Corporation before...but I must say their latest CD "The Richest Man in Babylon" is my favorite (I have them all.) These guys kick ass!
First of all, for those who don't know, the two guys behind the outfit (Rob Garza and Eric Hilton) are PIMPS! One of them is a former CIA agent! They got together in DC and opened up their own club (Eighteenth Street Lounge) as well as their own label (ESL Music.) This is the ultimate chill-out music...I can drive for hours with this playing.
Their previous CDs kept jumping between different styles (dub/reggae, 60s lounge, jazz, pr0n grooves, indo-asian etc.) Their latest CD is more cohesive and consistent. For those of you who like Air, K&D, Desmond Williams etc., I suggest y'all sample this one!
