 Rating:  - If you really like 'Tales of the Forgotten Melodies' chances are this disc will be a disappointmentListen to sound samples before buying! Compared to 'Tales of the Forgotten Melodies' this CD was a big let down. Gone are the collages of movie audio samples placed over dark soundscapes (although a few short 'filler' tracks reflect this style). 'Hope & Sorrow' focuses more on guest vocalist and rappers and most of the tracks fail to impress. This seems to be an attempt at more of a commercial 'dance' release than the well crafted Turntablism record that I was expecting. I 'hoped' this disc would ...

It's smart music that stands up to many, many repeated listenings but at the same time catchy and accessible. If you enjoy this album (or TotFM) I highly recommend trying out Radio Citizen's Berlin Serengeti. Rating: - Hope and SorrowHope and Sorrow is the newest album from the French artist Wax Tailor. It's similar to his previous CD "Tales of the Forgotten Melodies". The sample splicing in this CD loses it's shock it had in the first album. Hope & Sorrow has more dark songs on it and in parts tries to be political. It has a few really good songs on it but it doesn't seem to flow quite as well from song to song. So if you like Wax Tailor and have the first album pick this one up as well. It'll grow on you. Rating: - DJ Shadow and RJD2 have company . . .I recently purchased this album not exactly knowing what to expect. The guy at the music store recommended this to me. It is now my favorite album. Rating: - No sophomore slump hereI hardly ever review albums but saw this one didn't have one yet, and it definitely deserves one. About six months ago or so I picked up Tailor's debut, Tales of the Forgotten Melodies. It quickly became one of my favorite instrumental hip hop albums, right up there with my Rjd2 collection. But his new effort, Hope & Sorrow, definitely one-ups it. There's no weaknesses here at all, each track has its own vibe, and all the guest vocals are strong. In fact that's one thing that sets this ... Read More |
