thievery corporation - the richest man in babylon

A lush fusion of downtempo electronica, dub, world music, and political consciousness, The Richest Man in Babylon is a global sonic journey. Thievery Corporation crafts hypnotic grooves layered with reggae basslines, Middle Eastern melodies, and socially aware lyrics in multiple languages.

Tracks like “Facing East” and the title song are both meditative and danceable, pulling from trip-hop and chillout influences. It’s a genre-melting album that feels timeless—ideal for deep listening or late-night lounging. Ethereal, immersive, and globally conscious.
