Wax Tailor: Hopes & Sorrows [Decon, 2007]
Two big improvements for this very French packager of ear cinema. One: His movie-sample "content" is very much l'art pour l'art, often referencing the tools and tactics of his craft. Two: Not to mince words, he employs more African-American voices, including Ursula Rucker and Sharon Jones outdoing their own records--and sinking the beats deeper in the process. B+
