>The cinematic influence on contemporary emperimental electronics cannot

>over-cooked, but in the case of Thievery Corporation, film's moods and
>textures rise organically from the heart of the music itself. The
>Washington DC dou's latest EP, "Incident At Gate 7" (Eighteenth Street
>Lounge), gives wardrobe credits to Pierre Cardin, which gives you a
>sense of where these folks are coming from. But that sort of insider
>pastiche isn't there to paper over mediocre John Barry rip-offs; rather,
>it conceals a four-track EP of extraordinary subtlety and range. "Sun,
>Moon & Stars"" is an exquisite hybrid of wavery Hammond B3 chords and
>deep dub structures, reminiscant of the pair's early singles. (They're
>currently at work on an album with legendary dub producer Scientist.)
>This EP is a labor of love, passionate, depthless and infused with a
>welcome self-deprecating humor... by Tim Haslett

>...this "Incident At Gate 7" EP is a US release on ESL with 4AD
>releasing a different EP in the UK called "38:45".
