The Mirror Conspiracy by Thievery Corporation
About the album The Mirror Conspiracy
The Mirror Conspiracy was released in 2000 and is the second and most iconic studio album by Thievery Corporation (Rob Garza and Eric Hilton), which defined the "chillout" and "lounge" scene sound. It is a blend of downtempo, trip hop, dub, acid jazz, and bossa nova. It is characterized by the use of oriental instruments (such as the sitar in "Indra") and relaxed, hypnotic rhythms.
The album was recorded at ESL Studios in Washington between 1997 and 2000. It includes vocals from artists such as Pam Bricker (in the legendary "Lebanese Blonde"), LouLou Ghelichkhani, and Bebel Gilberto. Tools like the Akai MPC 3000 were used for grooves and samples in the production.
The track "Lebanese Blonde" gained massive recognition through the soundtrack of the film Garden State (2004). The Mirror Conspiracy is considered to be Thievery Corporation's best-selling album in the U.S., having surpassed 200,000 copies.
