This is a song that I recall hearing for the first time and thinking, “damn! I have  NO idea who this is, but I really love it!“ I’ve since learned more of their catalog and love & appreciate them all the more. Great grooves!
Thank you RP! Without you, I’d have likely missed out on them entirely.!

GREAT TUNE!   That is why we come here.  Thanx RP!

You can stream it from virtually all streaming providers. You can order vinyl from Tower Records online. If you're looking for a CD, then yeah, you may be out of luck.

  Both songs feature numerous riffs from similar "Middle Eastern"-sounding scales - probably Phrygian dominant for one.
  Anyhow, this song predates "Carry Fire".



If you mean Robert Plants Carry Fire, you might be wrong. Because Plant's song is from 2017!  This song is from 2008! Has Mr. Plant copied something from Thievery Cooperation?

The whole song seems like intro. I've been waiting for the actual music to start. Repetitive and boring.

Pita alone is purposeless, it's like asking for more buns at McDonald's.
 Hummus, babaganoush, muhamara and tzatziki are useless without Pita. Pita, brushed with good olive oil and lightly grilled, can stand alone.

Most people believe that the attention span of a gnat is around 3.4 seconds. But what you don't know is that gnats don't fly around you to eat your sweat. They are listening in on your brain waves and conversations. Their attention span is about 34 hours.

Yeah; I guess it could vary based on how drunk the sailor was and which ship he was on.  Of course they could always put him in the scuppers.

This song is featured prominently in Steven Soderbergh's recent film Side Effects.  It's a pretty good movie, and the song is played in a very interesting and key moment in the film.  It's also played in the closing credits.

Posted 12 years ago by tommoo    [ Reply ]
re:  Lewis Cooper's photo a dozen entries below.

When Theivery Corp played at Atlanta's Fabulous Fox last year, they borrowed heavily from the local hip-hop crowd.  Had a couple of ladies dancing to this; had singers and other musicians joining them on and off throughout one of the ROCKINGEST concerts I've ever seen.  (If that's not a word, I hereby copyright it and retain all Artisitc and Intellectual Property rights.  RIAA?  You paying attention?)
