3.0 out of 5 stars Quality bonus tracks that continue the Mirror Conspiracy, January 7, 2001

This review is from: Shadows of Ourselves (Audio CD)

A bit of a surprise that this is the first CD-single release off Eric Hilton and Rob Garza's cosmopolitan diamond The Mirror Conspiracy released mid 2000; "Shadows" may be a slinky continental delight, but tracks "Indra" and "Lebanese Blonde" remain some of that album's brighter highlights.

Regardless, it's the three extra cuts that TC fans want anyway; the selections continue the multinational theme of Mirror, with "DC 3000" showcasing the spacious percussion favored in their material, tempo slowed for the horizontal-inclined. "Barrio Alto" is a beach sunset compressed on disc, a lively lone guitar leading a spicy beat that resists the baleric-bore of many similar summer numbers. "A Guide For I & I" rings similar to "Focus on Sight" with raggae-style vocals.

Weighing in at only 16 minutes hinders the value, but the slick, quality b-sides make for a nice mini-Mirror EP. Grade: B

Thank goodness I did NOT listen to the other reviewer. This is an excellent CD, that makes your feet want to move. The only "bad" thing about it, is that it ends! If you have any interest in "new music", BUY this CD. It's worth every penny.
