Bill constructs sets, mixes if you will, out of various tracks which create moods, follow a vibe, flow or sometimes just 'belong' together, etc.  It's actually very old-school radio programming and he is an expert at it.  Some older folk here may recognize it from the early 1970's when FM harbored progressive radio and the DJ actually picked what was played.  The sets are then mixed together into what you hear on Radio Paradise and you'll see them repeated intact because of that.

Bill programs his automation computers to play what he wants when he wants.  Inserting live programming into a streaming setup is not as easy as doing it with conventional radio automation so you'll rarely hear anything done in real-time.
 

I full agree with that RadioDoc ... not an easy task, I love the way he folds one Genre into another gradually sliding into another similar mood. He gets my full admiration, and I am always passing this station on to all my friends here in the UK not just for the ad free but the way Bill constructs his Programme.

Emiliana's voice sounds so nice on top of downtempo or trip hop beats!  I wish her newer stuff hadn't gone all folksy acoustic.  Oh well.

So far, I like everything I have heard from Thievery Corporation. Some better than others but none that I would necessarily skip through.

sounds very much like portishead. A nice sound and an interesting song. Mixed feelings only because it needs to go somewhere for it to be a really interesting sound/song. :-s :?:

Exactly. Not only is Thievery Corp one of my favorite bands, but, their live show is incredible. All of the instruments which are most likely digitized in the studio, have real folks playing them at the show. All of the vocalists appeared at the show also. It was GREAT!

Being from DC and all, its been revealed to me over the years that T.C. rules. However, you guys just play a ton of their stuff of the Richest Man in Babylon Album as if you were sponsored by Tower Records. Lets hear some of their earlier work!

They do steal a lot of tunes! It's is not rock, it's not pop, is it music at all? Kruder & Dorfmeister did this loungy elevator music, TC steals the bad stuff and come up with something worse. If you steal, do it good!

Thievery Corporation was at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA. They do an awesome blend of reggae and electro-lounge. They had movie screens of urban life and the lounge scene.

At first I thought this was Morcheeba ... which always makes me perk up my ears. Once I did, I realized the voice wasn't as smooth, but I think I still like it. While the voice isn't as flawless as Skye's, the overall feel of the tune is smooooooooth.

Agreed on the voice, but it's a shame that the music isn't a little more interesting. And I've never been a fan of regge (is that spelled right?) and this definitely has that sort of feel to it.

Update:

Man, what was I thinking, this music rules :) The more TC I hear the more I realize that it's only a matter of time before I have to own one of their discsEdited By Zweiblumen at 9:32 am on 6/10/2003
