Thievery Corporation – Radio Retaliation 2 LP - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)

Radio Retaliation finds Thievery Corporation at their most insurgent and expansive, and it’s a record that feels purpose‑built for vinyl. Released in 2008, this double LP pushes their trademark downtempo and dub into a vivid, borderless soundscape, folding in Indian classical flourishes, Latin percussion, Middle Eastern motifs, and deep reggae grooves. It’s protest music you can sink into: politically sharp, yet sonically lush. Voices from around the globe—Sleepy Wonder, Anoushka Shankar, Femi Kuti and more—turn each track into a dispatch from a different corner of the world, while the production remains unmistakably Thievery: low‑end warmth, echo‑drenched atmospheres, and meticulous detail that really comes alive on wax. The sequencing across four sides gives the album room to breathe, letting each rhythm bloom instead of collapsing into background music. For collectors of downtempo, dub, and globally minded electronic music, this 2 LP set is a cornerstone: a document of the late‑2000s backlash against surveillance, war, and media fatigue, wrapped in head‑nodding beats. If you want a record that works equally well for late‑night listening, smoky living rooms, or thoughtful headphone sessions, Radio Retaliation earns its place on the shelf.
