'state of mind' is the first original zion train album to be released since the grammy winning 'live as one'. the dub / dance pioneers and undisputed leaders in the genre for the past 2 decades are one of the finest live dub acts on the planet, promoting the practice of dynamic onstage dub mixing performed alongside acoustic instruments and the best vocalists. returning to their own universal egg label in 1999, they have continueously released quality dub, electronica and world dance music. their work from the past 20 years still sounds fresh to today's discerning ears. 2007 saw the release of the band's ninth and incredibly received album 'live as one'. it was awarded a coveted jamaican reggae grammy for 'best dub album'. playing shows worldwide, zion train have had years of hugely successful summer festival appearances, with highlights including arcadia spectacular at glastonbury, wickerman festival, also reggae geel in belgium, rototom sunsplash in italy and reggae sun ska in france. 'state of mind' follows hot on the heels of the superbly received 'best of' compilation, 'dub revolutionaries'. the band's staple ingredients of brass, bass, dubwise rhythms and hard electronic beats are combined with new additions of violin, viola and dub poetry, making 'state of mind' a step forward for the zion train. featured artists include brinsley forde of aswad alongside zion train's own dubdadda and lua, not to mention the up and coming jamaican dub poetess jazzmin tutum. the album was previewed with the single, 'rainbow children', an update of the aswad classic with brinsley forde joining dubdadda on vocals.
