12 Mile High

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