It became a major album in the Trip Hop / Downtempo history because of the success of the single "Que Sera". Review: This is a great trip hop/hip hop album - I have a lot to say about this album. This is a great trip hop/hip hop album. It almost tells a story through out the album with the vocal/movie dialogue samples that it uses in between and even throughout songs, but it's hard to tell what exactly the story is, however, that doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter for several reasons, one of which is that the vocal samples put the listener in another era. It kind of places the listener in the 1930s - 1950s and feels like disjointed film noir at times. At other times, especially in the song, "I Don't Know" it almost makes the listener feel like they are having the hallucinations of someone who heard voices in their head 50 years ago, which would probably be off putting if it weren't for the music behind it. The vocal/dialogue samples, especially when they are randomly placed are also kind of reminiscent of the way people talk and think in real life, in that most people will recall a line from a movie in their conversation or thoughts if we see something throughout the course of our day that reminds us of a movie or tv show that we saw. I think this is an especially true thought process of someone who loves movies and music. In using vocal samples this way, the album makes a bit of a commentary on society and our collective or individual psyche and the role that media plays in our thoughts and vice versa. I would say that this album does this particularly more so than other albums that have made use of vocal/dialogue samples. I don't know if this is done intentionally or unintentionally, but either way it sounds very interesting. The music is great and composed and sampled in a way that it progresses not normally associated with the genre of hip hop. The monotony that hip hop is often stereotyped for, is not present in this album, even on the slower songs. It offers a lot in the way of lyrics, themes, singing, rapping, melodies, harmonies, and instrumentation from violin, cello, and bass. It is a great mix and has something that people who are not hip hop/trip hop enthusiasts might like. Review: Great album - Great album. It is hypnotic and relaxing. The use of the samples woven in these songs is perfect ## Images ![Tales of the Forgotten Melodies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gjhUddRtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great trip hop/hip hop album *by A***R on May 13, 2016* I have a lot to say about this album.

The use of the samples woven in these songs is perfect ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great use of an overused genre *by B***S on December 10, 2013* There's a few less-than-great tracks (I skip the ones with traditional vocals), but the good ones are truly excellent- brilliant, even. Great sampling use- in a genre which is easily overdone and, or just boring and tired. I listen to this all the time and never tire of it. Outstanding moments: "I Don't Know", "Ungodly Fruit", "Don't You Remember" All are about the best turntablist/whateveryoucallit things I've heard in years- up there with DJ Shadow and Amon Tobin. If you are going to pick & choose and download a few tracks, those are the ones to get. Major Points for use of Planet of the Apes quotes and mind control themes.
