A soulful masterpiece that combines 70's soul and psychedelia!
Led by Matt Deighton, Mother Earth develops a retro yet cutting-edge groove, making full use of Hammond organ and funky guitar. This is an important early work that marked the heyday of the scene.
Mother Earth's debut album, released in 1992 as the acid jazz movement was gaining momentum, reconstructs the energy of late '60s and early '70s funk and psychedelic rock with a modern sensibility, centered around Matt Deighton's bluesy guitar. The sound, which intersects the improvisational style of jazz with the dynamism of rock, is more than just retro; it also clearly captures the groove that was symbolic of the era, making it an essential work for any discussion of early acid jazz.
