A 12 track afro-cuban jazz album (44m 35s) — released March 1st 2010 on Impossible Ark/Unfold

• In a timely collision with the huge current appetite and appreciation for African music, 'Skeletons' is a dazzling melee of African jazz-inspired sounds from the prolific Benedic Lamdin - the musician, producer and engineer who has produced a string of highly acclaimed LPs as Nostalgia 77 for Tru Thoughts, including collabs with the legendary Keith Tippett and Julie Tippetts (formerly Julie Driscoll), Beth Rowley (Universal), and Alice Russell; he also produces all the releases for his own label, Impossible Ark. • The Skeletons track, "Positive Force", which appears on this album, was given an early airing on 'Impossible Ark: A Compilation' in October, to immense acclaim and support from tastemakers including Ashley Beedle (X-Press 2/Ministry Of Sound Radio/RBMA), Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1), Craig Charles (BBC 6Music) and Snowboy; and excellent reviews from all corners, from i-DJ magazine through to Mercury Prize Recommends • "Wonderful! An excellent and inventive foray into Afrobeat ... definitely worth the investment when it comes out."- CRAIG CHARLES (BBC 6 MUSIC/ BBC RADIO 2) • "Skeletons is my album of 2009 – even though it's not out for ages!!" - Snowboy • "Impossible Ark is just something really special to me...excellent..finest soulful and positive vibrations" - Markus Milz • "Now this is what I'm talkin about!
