Impossible Ark / A Compilation - CD

Various: Impossible Ark / A Compilation version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in United Kingdom in publishing company Impossible Ark Records on 5. November 2009.

Product information This amazing compilation features the blue-eyed country soul of Jeb Loy Nichols, which harmonizes with Ben Lamdin's new afro-funk project The Skeleton, the ethereal sounds of Rhythmatic Orchestra rubbing shoulders with the highly regarded experimental style of Examples Of Twelves, and many other treasures.Impossible Ark rings butterfly critics and hip hop heads alike, fires up Latin hastros and spins jazz dance kids, thinks down beat and plays break beat, celebrates the past and experiments with the future. Recognizing that music is different for many people, Impossible Ark believes in celebrating that diversity and delivering world-class artists, concepts, performances and production with every release. Established Impossible Ark fans include Mr Scruff and Gilles Peterson, and previous releases have received praise in The Guardian and many other publications. The label is the brainchild of producer Ben Lamdin (aka Nostalgia 77) and bassist Riaan Vosloo, whose highly successful collaboration on Tru Thoughts has yielded six popular albums - from live recordings of the Nostalgia 77 octet to studio experimental jazz and funk - and most recently they joined forces with the legendary Keith and Julia Tippett on the highly acclaimed LP 'Sessions'.01.
