While previous albums have shone a spotlight quite specifically on jazz and soul, the latest iteration takes a more panoramic approach, taking in those loves, but adding in some British Modstomp, Neo-Library music and some Ye-Ye, as Martin says in his note.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMartin is of course the multi-award-winning actor famed for ‘The Office’, ‘The Hobbit’, ‘Sherlock’ and ‘The Responder’, but also for his deep love of music, which brought him to Acid Jazz with these compilations. On this volume he has chosen well, with obscure cuts from Santana, Neo-Soul from Kadhja Bonet and Indo-Funk from Ashal Puthli. These sit alongside jazz from Gary Burton and Buddy Rich, as well as favourite Soul 45s, all topped with the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewonderful stew of Traffic’s ‘Medicated Goo’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEddie founded Acid Jazz in 1988 and even before then was a well-known and successful DJ. His sides show the excitement that he still finds in discovering and playing music. Opening with the  ynth-led ‘Main Title Theme’ from UK cult film ‘The Long Good Friday’, he selects beautiful soul \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand jazzy disco, before entering the world of Brit-Funk with cuts by Hi-Tension and Light Of The World.
