CD Reviews

Quality bonus tracks that continue the Mirror Conspiracy

Richard Diaz | 01/08/2001

(3 out of 5 stars)

"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"
