Groove Medicine
by Music Mosaic

Laid back grooves with an ethnic flair are the bread and butter of Music Mosaic's compilations. Doing what they do best, GROOVE MEDICINE finds a nice balance between earthy tribal music and cocktail lounge ambiance, throwing a little Asian influence into the mix to make things a bit more exotic. The grooves all fall on the relaxed side of the spectrum. Beats range from electronic trip-hop to scampering tabla beats, each bathed in synthesizers, Indian drone instruments, strings, vocal samples and trippy keyboard effects.
The mellow feel of the music makes it great as an atmosphere album, offering a nice blend of established artists (Karunesh, Gabrielle Roth) and lesser known but equally talented musicians (Lee Boice, Keiya, Tzarina). A great album for fans of music with thumping grooves and a plethora of multicultural influences.
