Review: Wax Tailor's debut album, "Tales of the Forgotten Melodies", was my favorite album of '06. It certainly defined entire spans of that year. I remember hearing "Que Sera" playing from someone's laptop at a coffee shop (as I was hitchhiking almost all of 2k6, I practically lived outta coffee shops). Ever since finding out who was behind the music, I've been turning on one person after another to the love of the Tailor. Their follow-up album was a partial let down, if only because of the expectations built up by the first album. However, their '09 release, "In the mood for life", is the best of both albums. The entire album can be listened to on their site here. Their style is part turntablism, part trip-hop, part hip-hop and with heavy splashes of film noir. Building out of this first track is Diplo's remix of "Veni Vidi Vici" by The Black Lips. Diplo's second album moved away from the leftfield sound of the first and more towards big beat, hip-hop and rock. This song makes a good signature for how the rest of the album sounds and leads well into "Autumn Kaskade" by KnowSleep. KnowSleep, the premier artist for the Street Ritual label, was an instant surprise to my playlist. Their debut, self-titled album was originally released with two free songs to "try them out". After hearing "Voice of Dissent", I knew I had to complete the album. Their borderline grime style combines elements of hip-hop and glitch. "What will they do next" is the only question that remains.

Maynard, Bowie, Re:nholder & Frusciante
Bring Me the Disco King (Loner Mix)


Read that first line again. If you don't know every one of those names, you should. Here's your 30-second education if not: David Bowie (aka, The Goblin King, etc...) should need no introduction. He released his self-titled album first, a complete sellout work that made him the money and name needed to go completely insane in the world of music. He is a force. Maynard James Keenan lent vocals to the Green Jelly project, although he is known most widely for his vocals and work as the lead on TOOL and A Perfect Circle. His independent project--Puscifer--is part brand, part music and entirely his intention and the people he spends his life with. Putting his vocals in with Bowie is a sick enough move on its own, but it's not over. Re:nholder (aka, Danny Lohner, etc...) is a bassist, keyboard playing electronic orchestrator who's worked with NIN, Manson, Eminem and a ton of other bands. You know him. He's touched a part of your life whether or not you know it. Anyone "in" the industry knows the touch of Lohner on a project. And what about the last... that Frusciante guy? Well there was this little group called The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and me have lent a lil guitar work to... oh, just about every song on five or so albums. He does his own singer songwriter stuff on the side as well. Good peep.

Bring me the head of the disco king!
