The work of Bavarian Martin Zobel and his band Soulrise eluded us until now. For his new album, 'Land Of The Free', however, Zobel knew to attract the attention of reggae veteran George 'Fully' Fullwood (among other things bassist and band leader of Soul Syndicate). The result is a very solid roots album with a vintage analog sound (all instruments sound crystal clear) which fans of Groundation or Sebastian Sturm should certainly appreciate. One of the reggae gems of 2012!
