1997 Debut Newly Remastered on 180g 2LP!
When they met in the mid-1990s, Thievery Corporation's Eric Hilton and Rob Garza instantly bonded over a shared passion for bossa nova and dub. This chance meeting in Washington, D.C. set the duo on a journey that begins in 1996 with the release of their debut studio album, Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi. Originally released in Germany before appearing in the US on June 7, 1997, the duo's first album set the beat for a 20+ year dance through dub, bossa nova, trip-hop, electronica, acid jazz, lounge, and laid-back grooves.
Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi is dedicated in memory of bossa nova pioneer Antonio Carlos Jobim. Guest vocalists include Pam Bricker and Bebel Gilberto.
A record that swings so hard and sways so gentle.
A work of deep and richly layered beauty
Evokes images of sun-drenched beaches & beatific vistas...Simply gorgeous.
A floor slammer of uncommon proportions
The Corporation lead the pack.
