Guest beatfanatic Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 You should check out his 2005 album called "Tales of the Forgotten Melodies". I bought it on a impulse after hearing one of the songs at a record store. You will love it. This was the song that made me buy the album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQUz7ZDrBpE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Dude, yes. Tales of the Forgotten Melodies is the best. Amazing stuff. But I like all his releases really, just In the Mood for Life a bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alzado Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 i know that Forgotten Melodies is considered this guy's best. but I like Hope & Sorrow better. It rocks more. It's more hip hop with fewer trip hop diversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alzado Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 ps I bought the instrumental version of In the Mood for Life from iTunes and it's pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Wax Tailor's latest album, Dusty Rainbow From the Dark, was released last week. Thoughts on it? I think it's quite smooth and definitely hitting the spot more so than In the Mood for Life did - I lost some interest there. No match for Tales of the Forgotten Melodies, but nice, and maybe matching Hope & Sorrow in quality. Maybe not quite so, I'll have to give that one a refresher listen.

Nebraska Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 honestly, i think this kind of sound is incredibly dated. it sounds like what music used to sound like when a label like ninja tune was all the rave. his first album was cool, but then it took him forever to release hope & sorrow and by that time, most people had matured along with 98% of the people that were still trying to recreate early shadow material. even the album art reminds me of what mid 80s/late 90s graffiti artists started to do when they started "to go legit".

sidewinder Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm not a fan of the album art, personally. The music is the "same old" instrumental hip-hop that has been around for a while, that Blockhead also keeps churning out. Doesn't keep me from enjoying it if it's done right. You could argue the same about a lot of IDM, honestly, even from some of the featured or otherwise well-known artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 i do make the same argument regardless of genre. my main grip is usually about the sound itself: wax tailor (to me) sounds like early dj vadim, dj krush and dj cam and i find that sound very representative of those mid 90s acts and while that music was cool (especially for the time), i don't see what wax tailor is changing to make his sound representative of himself alone. as it stands, it just sounds like that other stuff- and this is the year 2012.

sidewinder Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Like I said, I can't disagree with you, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it. To me there is a certain something that make his sound unique. It's hard to pinpoint, as on the surface it's the same sample-heavy instrumental hip-hop as some others. Maybe it's the style of samples (very cinematic), his sometimes classical-influenced sounds, or the guest vocalists he tends to use. I think it's a combination of the three. But to me, while the style is not anything new, he's good at what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
