What 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 that functions at a high level of spiritual awareness combined with an equally avant-garde and forward-thinking approach to sound. The stunning, unique and groundbreaking 1973 album "Grounation," a powerful conceptual triple album (the first reggae triple ever!), is, much like Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On," a definitive, all-encompassing cultural statement of its time and place A sprawling album of raw and unique cultural expression, combining Rastafarian consciousness with deeply spiritual jazz music, it is an absolute and indispensable classic of reggae music.
