Nostalgia 77 features the production work of Benedic Lamdin, who shifts between relying upon samples and musicians as raw material for his processed tracks. After some singles for the 7Sevens label, he released his first album, Songs for My Funeral, in 2004, and followed that with 2005's The Garden, issued on Ubiquity; Borderlands and Sevens & Eights: Recorded Live at the Jazz Cafe in 2006; and then Everything Under the Sun the next year. In 2008, the album Weapons of Jazz Destruction was released by Tru Thoughts under the Nostalgia 77 Octet moniker. Landin (who played guitar) expanded his concept group to include drums, upright bass, brass, reeds, and winds. After a collection entitled Nostalgia 77's One Offs, Remixes & B-Sides, in 2009 Landin enlisted British jazz and improv legends pianist Keith Tippett and vocalist Julie Tippetts for Nostalgia 77 Sessions, Vol. 1, another full-ensemble recording that featured upright bass, saxophones, guitar, and drums in addition to piano and vocals. Landin also acted as producer and engineer for the date. Throughout the latter half of the 21st century's first decade, Landin concerned himself with a lot of production work on albums by Jeb Loy Nichols, Elizabeth Parks, Larry Stabbins, Alice Russell, Sara Mitra, Fringe Magnetic, and Golden Age of Steam. In the early spring of 2011, Nostalgia 77 released the most eclectic and far-reaching album to date with Sleepwalking Society (on Tru Thoughts), featuring German vocalist Josa Peit; the set walked the line between classic Ellingtonian jazz, British folk, and even blues
Songs For My Funeral
The Mirror When everything that we know is forever dead All the things in the world we love have gone away Maybe then will come the dawn of another day
The Garden
Seven Nation Army ( The White Stripes cover ) Alice Russell : I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talking to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message coming from my eyes Says leave it alone Don't want to hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do And the feeling coming from my bones Says find a home I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera for evermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding And I'm bleeding right before the lord All my words are gonna bleed from me And I will think no more And the stains coming from my blood Tell me go back home Yeah back home
Everything Under The Sun
*** Thanx a lot to Richard for these lyrics ***
Wildflower Wildflower In winter you sleep Cold in the ground Never a sound Wildflower Wildflower In springtime you wake Leaves reaching up to the sun Starting to speak Wildflower, wildflower You love the wood, rarest of your kind We love the valleys and mountains Summer is here Wildflower, wildflower, wildflower Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Now autumn runs red No warm rays are shed But you left a beautiful seed asleep in your bed Wildflower, wildflower, wildflower Wildflower, wildflower, wildflower
Stop To Make A Change There ain't only one way to start a new beginning It should be nice and easy if everybody's willing You could take a tablet, see a doctor or a shrink You could hit a reefer, the needle or a drink Stop right there, you wanna make a change, listen here And you will start to recognise that there ain't only one way to start a new beginning We've got to earn a living, we've got to speak our minds Got to be relaxed for we've got to get up early Life just ain't that easy but we've got to change our minds That's the bottom line, it's all the same old story Now everywhere you turn, boys and girls are working for the man Impossible equation, a lunatics vocation Armies on the march and an infidel's in charge The planet's upside down, the world is out of rhythm Our dream's are only songs that's falling off the horizons to the earth Stop right there, you wanna make a change The planet's upside down and the band is out of rhythm The band is upside down and the planet's out of time You wanna make a change you gotta stop to make it better Change to make it stop, stop to make a change The band is out of planets and the rhythm's out of time The rhythm makes a change and the band is upside down You gotta make a change if you want to make it better Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin There ain't only one way to start a new beginning It should be nice and easy if everybody's willing You could take a tablet, see a doctor or a shrink You could hit a reefer, the needle or a drink Stop right there, you wanna make a change, listen here And you will start to recognise that there ain't only one way to start a new beginning Stop right there, you wanna make a change The planet's upside down and the band is out of rhythm The band is upside down and the planet's out of time You wanna make a change you gotta stop to make it better Change to make it stop, stop to make a change The band is out of planets and the rhythm's out of time The rhythm makes a change and the band is upside down You gotta make a change if you want to make it better
Little Steps We take little steps, it's easier We take little breaths and learn to talk We dream little dreams of fantastic scenes And we wish on little stars twinkling We take little sips on magic drinks And close our eyes and watch kaleidoscopes Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin We watch little waves, for what little spray Reach out little hands, give thanks and praise For the little things and the simple things For the wind, the sea, the sun And now we sit upon the earth Picking fruit from little trees See the birds spread little wings And watch clouds dance around the sun
Eastwind Eastwind is blowing Black clouds away And the cobwebs in the corners She blows at night, she blows the day Eastwind is blowing The storms they come It blows through the bitter night Evil's on the run Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin From the desert to the mountains Through the valleys to the seas Across the oceans to the city Eastwind, the wind of change
Quiet Dawn Your frame is a slender tree And hands two sprawling leaves Your mouth, a quiet dawn Your hair, a waterfall Your eyes, stars astral light Slow whispers of infinity That draw me closer to your body night by night And my love is a satellite Spinning, spinning Spinning, spinning Your questions are impossible Galaxies and moonlight flow Angry tides and fallow lands And our universe expands Your footprints are maps to me Under sunlight speckled woods You'll feed me in the failing light A simple meal of gravity Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin And all my love is a satellite Spinning, spinning Spinning, spinning Spinning, spinning, spinning You reached into space for me Held my orbit evenly, certain of infinity But moons and comets die eventually And when we go, go in peace When our spirits go free And the world's only grey Quiet dawning galaxy oh And my love is a satellite Spinning, spinning Spinning, spinning, spinning Oh spinning
Steps Of The Sun I remember the time long before the earth Long before the stars and the universe I remember a time before civilisation Before wars, before myself I remember a day before the pharaoh's reign When spirits lied and echoes played And when we arrived from our journey weary We will find a land so divine on the steps of the sun Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I remember the time long before the earth Long before the stars and the universe When we didn't fight for right or wrong When we listen to the earth and the childrens song I remember a time in a land far away When spirits lie and echoes play And now we arrive from our journey weary And find a land so divine on the steps of the sun
Weapons of Jazz Destruction Stars Stars that shine darkly Stars that shine dread Angels or devils They hang on a thread From heaven they fall to the earth's soil And fall they must to raise stars from the dust Stars that shine darkly Stars that shine dread Angels or devils They hang on a thread Stars of the earth, stars of the skies Each one a body, each one a mind When the stars weep and meteors fall For each man a tear, for each tear a soul So the galaxies breathe, they grow and recede Each one a creed carrying seeds For the next certain arc of stars To Have Or To Be When people see the strangest things Dreams turn to stone, their songs to screams And languid strings to scarcely mood Their sound is false, the notes are few To have or to be strange family To have or to be myth or mystery To have or to be strange family To have or to be myth or mystery Time has cracked like summer earth Where love holds the crown There's a war for the throne The queen carried away on a river of stones While the children of kings throw sand at the wind When people see the strangest things Dreams turn to stone, their songs to screams And languid strings to scarcely mood Their sound is forced, the notes are few To have or to be strange family To have or to be myth or mystery One Step Out We make a new image Love is the core We sing for life and living One step out I'm walking through The world with the spirit Of peace and love to us all One step out Elevation is key to this life Spread love and hope's harmony Let our minds run free and our thoughts Spread love and hope's harmony One step out One step out One step out One step out We make a new image Love is the core We sing for life and living One step out I'm walking through The world with the spirit Of peace and love to us all One step out Elevation is key to this life Spread love and hope's harmony Let our minds run free and our thoughts Spread love and hope's harmony One step out One step out One step out One step out

leaf to a branch Like hope to a glance Like dark to light You were swimming in the to and fro Nothing but a laughter low Opened up, like I did to you Light up, like a picture show From dark to light And we worried about the cares The wolves and melting ice About trying to be nice You held on to the winter Held on to make it right Like a leaf to a branch Like hope to a glance Like dark to light You were swimming in the to and fro Nothing but a laughter low Opened up, like I did to you Light up, like a picture show From dark to light
When The Lights Gone
You Were In My Dream Last Night You were in my dream last night You were in my dream last night You were in my dream last night I felt you hold my hand Then we faded like a picture in the light Lips moving with those secrets I saw you talking but I couldn't hear a word You were in my dream last night You were in my dream last night You were in my dream last night And we saw Mother Mary cry Ten thousand tears falling from on high No one could remember why You were in my dream last night You were in my dream last night You were in my dream last night Bye Bye Bye bye We said bye bye But I’m thinking of you Bye bye Baby We said bye bye But I’m still thinking of you The sun spills like cherry wine Out aver the sky I don’t want to pass on by Cloud they won’t fly Why, I can’t explain Why the world turns this way Why, I can’t explain How the time slips away Bye bye We said bye bye But I’m thinking of you Bye bye Baby We said bye bye But I’m still thinking of you Water on my skin Leaves from the vine Echos from another time Parallel to mine Why, I can’t explain Why the world turns this way Why, I can’t explain How the time slips away Bye bye We said bye bye But I’m thinking of you Bye bye Baby We said bye bye But I’m still thinking of you I’m still thinking of you Still thinking of you
When the lights gone We will paint on the street Dusty city on our feet I look down on you below You look up to my high window When the lights gone The lights gone Shadows down the avenue Can you find the sky above these walls We found magic in the cracks We're building waterfalls When the lights gone The lights gone The lights gone I look down on you below You look up to my high window When the light's gone The light's gone
Stubborn Rhythm The more I know, the more I know the less I see The more I know, the more I know The less I see The writing's on the wall You know we're gonna fall in The more I live, the more I live The less I know The more we turn, the more we turn The less you show The writing's on the wall You know we're gonna fall in
Psych Do you love me still Do you say my name Do you love me still Is it all the same Do you love me still Do you say my name Do you love me still Is it all the same Do you love me
Late In The Morning Wake up late in the morning I don't know where I am Can't connect my head Keep lying around If life is a banquet Then love is the god Stick in the knife Watch the movie fade out I don't know where I've been this time I don't know where I've been this time Everything that I loved is lost The love will return in another form One day, one day It keeps on growing inside The flower at night Don't push me away Don't hold me too tight If life is a banquet Then love is the god Stick in the knife Watch the blood run out I don't know where I've been this time I don't know where I've been this time Everything that I loved is lost The love will return in another form One day We Tell Our Stories We tell our stories to understand Twist the threads around our hands Writing letters to past away Thoughts we only try to say He pulled my hand down Wrote on my hand The number of the stop The outline of the plot We meet and part with a kiss Never to know, never to miss We tell our story to live The countess's tread in the Consulate
