2024 deluxe reissue - Twenty years after its release, Wax Tailor's cult album, which made him a household name worldwide, is back in a marbled 2LP collector's edition featuring the bonus single “Seize the Day” (previously unreleased on vinyl). Long unavailable due to its success, this eagerly awaited repress offers a chance to rediscover this essential work of the trip-hop scene. This exceptional box set includes two marbled vinyl records along with an exclusive 7-inch single of “Seize the Day.”
<br/"Taking his cues from other forward-thinking electronica/hip-hop acts, namely DJ Shadow and RJD2, Wax Tailor (aka French sonic-collage artist JC Le Saout) makes a striking impression on his 2006 full-length debut, TALES OF THE FORGOTTEN MELODIES. Although Le Saout is mining well-worn territory, his heavy use of samples and his knack for establishing a highly cinematic atmosphere set him apart from the pack, as revealed on his cut-up, movie-dialogue-laden version of "Que Sera" and the dreamy "How I Feel," which weaves in the unmistakable voice of Nina Simone."
