"It's nice. Relaxed, compelling. But, HEY, too long and boring!! You won't find out whether you're listening to the first or last track, since they all sound the same. 4 of 5 dentists recommend the "Grow Together" album. You should go and get it, guys at Amazon!"

Reggae-Dub Fusion

"I would never have known about this album or group if the distributor hadn't sent me a review copy when I was involved in radio production a few years ago. After a few listenings, I found myself drawn into the music more and more. It has a trance-like rhythm, like much dub music, which I began to familiarize myself with after hearing this record, which I think is Zion Train's best, most artistically cohesive effort. It is a very satisfying CD that I have no hesitation in recommending. The first five tracks are inexplicably light on the bass, but then they locked it in and the rest of the album requires no bass boost."

A monument heralding a new era of dub

"This 1995 masterpiece by talented Zion Train crew offers irresistable and hi quality modern dance music while preserving the beautiful hallmarks on which 70s and 80s plate dub was based. Zion Train has shown the way how dub must survive in the 21st century. A rarity - a sound system that manages to sound just as exciting on the record as they do live."
