This is another in the excellent Music Mosaic collection. The title, Spice Groove, gives a clue to the music mix. It has selection from albums of dreamy and spicy world music with sitar and sarod backed up by vocals, keyboards, guitars, synthesiser, bass and percussion. This is a danceable, rhythmic collection that moves at a slower pace than usual so as to allow full connection to the undulating trance sounds of today's world music. A fine assembly of quieter, groove fusion tracks.

Music Mosaic brings together sounds from around the world into theme compilations on one disc. Return to Serenity features 11 tracks from various international artists including Australia's Tarshito, America's Gabrielle Roth, shakuhachi player Kamal and keyboards/programmer Ross Griggs. Sounds of the Australian outback, flute, nature and environment come together in a special mix. This is not your run-of-the mill ambient CD, but an entrancing compilation of serene sounds for quieter moments.

Groove Temple is one of nine recently released albums from global music label, Music Mosaic. The compilation features a complex profusion of artists and styles ranging from tribal groove, world voice and beat, to folk, electro and international feature instruments.
The majority of tracks make use of some kind of synthesised, eighties electronica, forming a common sonic bond within the cross section.
The positive idealism of the label itself is apparent on Groove Temple, and with so many varied sounds, the entire collection will sit well with any music buff.

"Music Mosaic, a new production house on the block has put together a tight little CD in the name of Lotus Groove. The album mixes together traditional beats in a contemporary groove. It's worth a listen. Music Mosaic focuses on featuring music from many diverse countries, flowing together under the theme of global harmony."
