Groundation
Building An Ark
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!
