Talisman have always been something of an exception to the rule. Although they took something of a sabbatical during the late nineties and noughties, at their core this is the same Talisman that formed as Revelation Rockers back in 1977. They may have been forced into a name change along the way, but they never ever changed the messages in their music or the sheer energy and enjoyment of their live shows; their talents are undiminished. To celebrate the band's longevity and give fans old and new a career spanning perspective in a convenient package, here is \u003ci\u003eNothing Change\" (The Best of Talisman 1977-2018)\u003c\/i\u003e a 17-track compilation that includes the band's earliest recordings under the guise of Revelation Rockers to tracks from last year's acclaimed \u003ci\u003eDon't Play with Fyah\u003c\/i\u003e. Throughout changing times, technology and line ups the core of founding members Dehvan Othieno and Dennison Joseph give the music a remarkable continuity and demonstrate how some musicians improve with age. Of the three Revelation Rockers tracks only \u003ci\u003eJah Praises\u003c\/i\u003e has previously been given a proper CD release, both \u003ci\u003eCulture\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWicked Dem\u003c\/i\u003e make their debut appearance on CD.
