Best Records Of 2005-The Cosmic Game

The Cosmic Game-Thievery Corporation
With a nice cast of guest vocalists and collaborators, this release features some nice, catchy songs, as well as interesting world music-type rhythms. "Marching the Hate Machines (Into the Sun)", with vocals by Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips, leads off the record, it's just some awesome chilled trip-hop . I love "Holographic Universe". It's upbeat and funky, better than "The Heart's A Lonely Hunter" (with David Byrne), which got so much airplay during the year. Perry Farrell's echo-saturated performance on "Revolution Solution" is also quite cool.
