Produktinformationen "Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari* – Grounation (3 x Vinyl) "
50th anniversary reissue of the legendary 1972 album by Count Ossie
& The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. Limited deluxe boxset contains
3xLP, 7 inch single, download code, art print and magazine.
Like Sun Ra's Arkestra and John Coltrane are to jazz, the Mystic
Revelation of Rastafari are to reggae - the ultimate expression of roots
music and Rastafarian ideology in reggae music, music functioning at a
high level of spiritual consciousness combined with an equally
avant-garde and forward-looking approach to sound. The group's stunning,
unique and groundbreaking 1973 album 'Grounation', a mighty conceptual
triplealbum (the first ever reggae triple!) is, similar to Marvin Gaye's
'What's Goin' On', a definitive allencompassing cultural statement of
its time and place. A sprawling album of raw and unique cultural
expression that combined Rastafari consciousness with deep spiritual
jazz music - an absolute and essential classic of Reggae music. The
Mystic Revelation of Rastafari group came into existence at the start of
1970s, the union of two artists (and groups) of equal repute - Count
Ossie and his African Drums and saxophonist Cedric 'Im' Brooks' and his
group, The Mystics. Both Ossie and Brooks were alumni from the great
Studio One Records. [info sheet from distr.]
