12 Mile High

12 Mile High

The "Ambassadors of Style" return with their fourth full-length recording, 12 Mile High, on Thievery Corporation s<br>ESL Music. Rob Myers, Steve Raskin and Sid Barcelona are the masterminds behind Thunderball. This Washington,<br>DC-based trio are globally renowned purveyors of sophisticated, stereophonic-thrillers, and cinematic<br>dub. Since 1997 their productions have shifted effortlessly between the genres of drum n bass, dub and downtempo,<br>building a strong following for their signature sound. 12 Mile High marks the return of the Thunderball trio<br>from their duties with the venerable breakbeat production group Fort Knox Five.<br>On 12 Mile High Thunderball deliver 13 tracks of globe-spanning, mind-altering, cinematic music designed to<br>bring you straight to the edge of the stratosphere. The adventure begins in a sitar-drenched den and quickly jets<br>to the gritty streets of Philadelphia where the plot gets thickened with an herbal dub. When the clouds clear you<br>find yourself on a bossa tinged beach with only a reggae soul 7" in your briefcase and ticket to the penthouse<br>suite. 12 Mile High is packed with live-instrumentation, jazzed-out guitars, deep orchestrations and floor-stomping<br>beats. Laced with vocal performances by long-time collaborators Mustafa Akbar, Miss Johnna M and Rootz<br>& Zeebo (of See-I), this soundtrack is destined to pull you into the fantastical world of Thunderball.
