Given that Brighton-based jazz-head Benedic Lamdin has been releasing music as Nostalgia 77 for nearly 16 years, you could argue that this "Best Of" retrospect is long overdue. As a steady stroll through some of his many musical highlights, it's hard to find fault. Certainly, it's great to revisit songs such as "Quiet Dawn" (a deliciously evocative and atmospheric concoction featuring the alluring vocals of Beth Rowley), folksy "Beautiful Lie" and high octane "Seven Nation Army" (one of the superior covers of the White Stripes hit, in our opinion), while Tru Thoughts get extra marks for including both a track from Lamdin's lesser-known Skeletons project (the Afro-beat brilliance of "Positive Force") and the dub-wise skank of his hook-up with Prince Fatty, "Medicine Chest Dub".
