| Now Is Rising is the 4th Earth People album and the first Earth People studio album in two years. The album blends the band's signature free sound with beats and genres from all over the world, including jazz, latin, soul, old school R&B, classical, funk, hard rock, and Gregorian chants.
Recorded last October, Now Is Rising almost never saw the light of day. The band was called in to track the session at an audio school, and after 2 sessions, the school decided to cancel the band's verbal contract. When asked for the session tapes, the school refused, and a battle for the music ensued. Ultimately, the school allowed two mix sessions to complete as much as possible, and the results are documented on this album. We think you'll agree it was worth the fight and the wait. "It's time to welcome another offering from Earth People, one of the most innovative and exciting groups on today's avant garde scene. The group excels once again with the absolutely fresh Now Is Rising, a soulful amalgam of sound that showcases the group's versatality and formidable gifts."
