1 - GROUNDATION - A MIRACLE - (CD) 
SOULBEATS


Rooted in the reggae one-drop sound of Jamaica, Groundation seamlessly incorporates the harmonic, polyrhythmic, and improvisational elements of jazz, breathing new life into both genres. As one critic described it, Groundation begins at the crossroads where Burning Spear meets John Coltrane. Groundations unique reggae fusion can be heard from villages in Thailand, to the favelas of Brazil, from the mountains of New Zealand, to Moroccan cafes and college dorm rooms in the United States. Since 1998 theyve performed in more than thirty countries on six continents, sharing the stage with such diverse artists as Jimmy Cliff, Sly and the Family Stone, The Roots, Kanye West, and Sonic Youth. Continuing the bands long history of collaboration with Jamaican roots reggae legends like Don Carlos, IJahman Levi and The Congos, Groundations 8th full-length studio album evokes the lasting and eternal influence of Bob Marley, "A Miracle" will features Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, founding members of Marleys legendary backing vocal trio the I-Threes. The picture is completed by the pen of Neville Garrick, Marleys art director from the time of the "Rastaman Vibration" album (1976).

3 - GROUNDATION - BUILDING AN ARK - (CD) 
SOULBEATS


On this album, their seventh, lead singer Harrison Stafford develops his dream and vision to create an ark in order to preserve knowledge and positive consciousness. The band stays true to the essence of their dynamic and melting pot sound. Without guest artists, the group focuses on stretching their incredible virtuosity through 10 songs played in their characteristic "progressive reggae" style, mixing a powerful jazzy-reggae vibe with hypnotic funk-based rhythms. The album goes from earthy percussion based tracks to complex impressionistic dub compositions and this sophisticated music bed provides the basis for some of Harrison Stafford's most fiery militant and conscious lyrics to date. A masterpiece!

18 - GROUNDATION - WE FREE AGAIN - (CD) 
SOULBEATS


Californias internationally renowned reggae group Groundation emerges from the depths of the studio with their 4th albumentitled We Free Again. The music is fresh and new, proving once again that they are committed to the task of groundbreaking orig Two things will strike you immediately about this album. First, Groundation is perhaps the finest roots reggae band in California. Its seven members generate slow, smoky, disciplined grooves that rumble and shudder with the inexorable power of an elephant stampede and manage to sound simultaneously sensual and mystical. The second thing that will strike you, for probably not the first time, is the degree to which Apple Gabriels singing style is an acquired taste. A founding member of Israel Vibration, Gabriel sings as a guest on this album and contributes both lead and background vocals, making this whole album sound like a slightly darker and tighter Israel Vibration project!

TRACKLISTING: 01. Praising 02. Dem Rise 03. Suffer The Right 04. Music Is The Most High 05. Wish Them Well 06. We Free Again 07. Smile 08. Feel Jah 09. I (cultural Wars) 10. Ii (cultural Wars) 11. Iii (cultural Wars) 12. Iv (cultural Wars) 13. The Seventh Seal
