Infectious Grooves' second infection, Sarsippius' Ark, digs into the band's organic Fishbone stew with phenomenally entertaining relish. Pulled together from various sources (1989 demos with entirely different sidemen, first album outtakes, a '92 LA concert, new sessions) and stitched up by spoken bits from a Richard Pryor-sounding fictional music biz narrator, Ark is more unified and consistent than either of the Grooves' other discs. David Bowie's "Fame" and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" make perfect covers for the quintet's furious once-overs; such hot'n'funky originals as "Savor da Flavor," "Don't Stop, Spread the Jam!" and "Slo-Motion Slam" strike a blistering balance of motion and metal that's easy to catch and hard to shake.
In the early '90s, he and Muir formed the experimental funk-rockers Infectious Grooves, and then in the mid-'90s Trujillo joined up with Ozzy Osbourne. Together with drummer Mike Bordin, Trujillo formed one of rock music's most soild and reliable rhythm units.
While they play around with the infectious grooves of reggae and Latin music as well as the heavy deliverance of hip-hop and rock, San Diego's hard rock four-piece P.O.D. has defined a universal message. They're born-again Christians and their faith takes a central place in their music.
