On this new album the prolific producer Ben Lamdin explores new territory. Unlike Ben's previous instrumental works, "Everything Under the Sun" is a song-based collection. His new album "Everything Under the Sun" is a new example of lush, atmospheric, funky Jazz.
The album features vocalist Lizzy Parks on the opening track "Widflower". Gilles Peterson immediately picked out "Wildflower" as a favorite cut, stating that Nostalgia 77 and Lizzy Parks were "two of my favorite acts of 2006 teaming up." The LP also features vocalist Beth Rowley who hails from Bristol. At an impromptu audition Lamdin says he knew she was right for the project just one verse in. The use of vocalists helps create a beautiful cosmic-tinged jazz album that sounds as much classic, spiritual, Impulse-influenced music as it does Cinematic Orchestra and Koop. "It's like Portishead meets Charles Mingus!" says Lamdin.
