Mr. Scruff - Keep It Unreal (1999)

An early Mr. Scruff album released soon after he signed to the mighty Ninja Tune. It has a late-nineties quality to it which I enjoy, but there are some tracks worthy of skipping. What remains is a few gems that must be shared.

Nostalgia 77 - Songs For My Funeral (2004)

This is Nostalgia 77's first full length on the Tru Thoughts label. In the seven years since it's release, this man has continued to explore undiscovered territories of nu-jazz and received many accolades along the way. It started here with a grainy mix of old jazz sensibility and new drum-break flair – far from funeral music.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Past, Present & Future (2007)

A very intimate and acoustic album with minimal electronic embellishments. This collection contains instrumental versions of much of the Ma Fleur album (released the same year) and some rarities towards the end, including a song titled Lullaby. That should be your last song of the night.
