 Some Great Songs some O.K

| I just came across Nightmares on wax and going through this album there's really only three tracks I really dig and the other I'd probably skip through if I had to by the album. I think it has appeal for all kinds of Electronic lovers and certain songs are a most have for anyones collection. |

I'm sorry but I need to show N.O.W. some love. This album is rather dope. 195lbs reggae cut transcends the terminology 'dope'. This whole album indeed is very dope sounding with very funky fresh magical beats. Need I say more? Without a doubt I give this record 5 stars......shame on anyone that says otherwise. Shame on all of you. 5 big phat stars. Get the greenery out or better yet put your stash away and listen to this album......you don't need it.....the sound already instills it in you.

 SO RELAXING!!! SMOKED, STILLS "NIGHTMARES ON WAX"
Submitted on: 2008-11-03 |

Much has changed in chill-out since Evelyn dropped what's come to be considered his masterpiece, 1995's aptly titled Smoker's Delight, the genre expanding out into a catch-all term that encompasses everything from Balearic dance to sleepy folktronica. And Nightmares On Wax have changed too, although you're left with the feeling that Evelyn is exploring his own internal rhythm rather than marching to the beat of another's drum.
During his relocation from Leeds to his new home and studio in Ibiza, Nightmares On Wax leader/producer opted to travel in a convoy of camper-vans carrying his equipment, sound engineer, band and singers, the caravan making stops to take in the sights and evoke moods and landscapes through impromptu recordings. "Thought So" strips chill-out right down to the basics, a blissful, unhurried coast of clacking hip-hop breaks, sparse guitar and shimmering synthesizer grounded in Evelyn's main musical passions, vintage soul, jazz, and the late-night boom of the dub soundsystem. A handful of guest vocalists - Ricky Ranking, Chyna Brown and Ella May - add color, if not any real narrative. And while there is a distant echo of Nightmares On Wax's early bleep beginnings in Be There, you leave feeling that Evelyn is more than satisfied with his current pace of life: slow, steady, stoned. That popular acclaim will surely continue to elude Nightmares On Wax, then, but in a genre of cynical, blanded-out mood muzak, Thought So still feels like a treat, generously packed and tightly rolled, a treat for the discerning. |

As good as the rest to me..

I find N.O.W. records to always contain some stellar tracks and some I can't sit through. This is no different. The 3 tracks that lose me are
Be There, Hey Ego and Moretime. The rest is fantastic. Love the reggae!
I've got no trouble recommending this one. |

Sorry Mr.Wax

Three of my favorite albumes (all time high) are Carboot Soul, Mind Elevation and Smokers Delight. I hoped that Mr.Wax would be in the same street as these albums, but I find this album a bit messy, not so laid back, the beats are not the same.
Its okay, but Mr.Wax could do it so much better. |
