20 Years of Richest

It’s 20 years ago this month since our album “Richest Man in Babylon” came out. Here’s a live video of “Heaven’s Gonna Burn Your Eyes” featuring the lovely @EmilianaTorrini. The footage is from our 2003 world tour which was shot and directed by our friend @toolboxdc. #tbt pic.twitter.com/DQ7N9e0ran

I remember sliding the CD into my car’s CD player and absolutely falling in love with the songs on this disc. I had just made the turn from Borders in Timonium onto York Road heading for the beltway. At night and the orange glow from the sodium halide lights just contributing to the atmosphere of the opening song, Heaven’s Gonna Burn Your Eyes. For the next month or so, it was always playing. I figure that it was my favorite album for the longest time. The remix album came out the next year with my favorite version of Resolution. I believe I have mentioned that I would love this album to be playing at my wake.

Give it a listen. Thievery Corporation’s Richest Man in Babylon.
