Wax Poetic is a hip-hop project formed in 1997 in the N.Y.C. club scene by the Turkish-born music guru Ilhan Ersahin, who is still a member.An ever-changing cast of singers and musicians combine jams of urban electronica, acid jazz, and pop.Pop singer/pianist Norah Jones was a member before she recorded Come Away With Me.Ex-members include N'dea Davenport and Saul Williams.Current members are Thor Madsen (guitar and beats), Jesse Murphy (bass), Jochen Rueckert (drums), and Marla Turner (vocals).

This debut album is a trip-heavy mixture of jungle loops and sultry vibes of drum'n'bass. If you like Morcheeba or Skye Edwards you will probably like this recording.Norah Jones' cool relaxed vocals add a lot to the sound of this album.Check out the great urban grooves,"Technologie", "Purple Elephants" and "N.Y.C."
