Dave Shantz hit it. While I agree w zengrrl about Norah, it is only one track, and definitely *not* the main reason to buy the album, the whole thing is.

Wax Poetic is a interesting group. This cd shows an eclectic side of the group. Differant singers gives it depth. I really enjoyed listening to the cd. Lights low...just chilling!

I just fairly recently bought this CD and have been pretty impressed. I bought it primarily due to Norah Jones' contributions. I love Norah, her voice is heaven, but have found her highly acclaimed (and deservedly so) solo work to be just ever so slighly too soulful-jazzy-bluesy for my taste - I love her solo work, to be sure, just not as much as I love her in this genre. While her recent work is beautiful indeed, I really like her voice when it is married with downtempo electronica such as with Wax Poetic or on the song "New York City" on the 2005 dance/electronica compilation CD "Top Shelf Dance - Volume 1" (check it out, it's fantastic).

Really, though, the primary reason to buy this album is for the song "Angels" - Norah's voice floating above the beautiful ethereal music is intense bliss. It takes a minute for her vocals to kick in, and the song is certainly not lyrically dense, but the overall effect is absolute heaven.

There are other winners here - "Tell Me" (Norah's other vocal performance on this album), "Girl", "Homme" (love the Brazilian Girls!), and "Sea Grass". There are some other good tracks as well, in addition to these, just not as good and somewhat hit or miss for me. Still, all in all, very solid album. I recommend it without reservation.

Creative and imaginative, with a real art to the compositions, mixing and musicianship. So few recordings deserve the sort of respect that comes with straight five-star ratings, in this case practically across the boards. Delicious, sexy, sophisticated.

Anyone who's a fan of jazz-based music and electronica is sure to love this album. I happened upon them by chance when they opened for another band. Intrigued, I later bought their self-titled debut when I saw it in a store. Nublu Sessions has some tracks off that release, as well as all-new tracks. Nublu touches on a variety of styles, genres, vocals and tempos. It would be hard to be disappointed with this album. I also recommend getting their first album.
