The Black Seeds never fail to impress me. This cd is no exception. Solid Ground has all the reggae awesomeness that make the Black Seeds one of the best bands iv ever heard. Their style plus their positive vibes and messages are just so refreshing in this time of corporate ran music.

all i can say is get this cd, roll up a dutch, and start grovin,

props to the boys of the band, now i wish i could see them live, that would be a show!!

Five stars is a huge wrap for any recording, but it's hard not to agree that Solid Ground is worthy. The groove will carry you away, deep into a NZ summer!

Stick on track 4 ("Love is a Radiation"), grab the one you love and get dancin'.

Saw the black seeds with John Browns Body in Ithaca, NY. They are very very good. Although Solid Ground is their best over all, I went back and got most of their music and it's what I play these days....awesome. They are a perfect unique replacement for UB40 as long as they stay together. As an observer I see the degradation of so many groups when even one member quits throwing the chemistry off.

I happened upon the black seeds on a youtube video of some kids in Hawaii digging out a river between a lake and the ocean, which they end up surfing in. Thank goodness for that video because now I listen to the entire Black Seeds catalog. This is what music is about - a listening experience that is so enjoyable I look forward to having some time to myself to just sit and do nothing but listen. This album is my favorite of their records. Thanks, what a timeless, perfect statement of reggae that even those who aren't reggae fans can appreciate.

Excellent reggae music. This band is taking the genre to the next dimension. Very good musicians.

The more I listen to this album, the more I love it. At first I thought it was good, but it did not stick with me until I had the CD in my car for a road trip. Now I can't get the songs out of my head. Take Your Chances, Come To Me, Bulletproof, Slingshot are all stand out tracks, but really this album has great depth and there is nothing I would say is a miss. No band can mix reggae, soul and funk with such ease. Buy this album and see for yourself.

This CD is top notch. Really. Buy it. The most amazing groove music I've ever heard. And if you can catch this band live - you must do it!

But, you can get it in the US from Easy Star records for $9.99, just FYI. :-)
