New Age sentimental melodies. First passionate, then quiet, gently covering, then playful and alluring ocean of light – all of it is James Asher’s music. His Dance of the Light is an album-meditation, it is a leave to the existence to pass through you and make you clear. The music of the compositor is so beautiful, so harmonious! Being weft from a finest lace it is very emotional. The electronic music of the Dance of the Light album is simple and sophisticated at the same time. It is very light, practically weightless and romantic. It is refined and exquisite. And the sounds of birds at early daybreak do nothing but intensify the emotionality of James Asher’s music.

Fast, powerful, absolutely "powerful" music that sounds very earthbound. You really feel like you're in the jungle and want to dance to the drum music. I especially liked the Didge Breathes.

A Power dance version of Feet In The Soil. Pemulwuy was an Aborigine whose bold and fearless action to defend his people's rights became a stirring symbol of their struggle to avoid violent dispossession. In the late 1780's, the Aboriginal 'Eora' society was elaborate and based on a highly complex kinship system, integral to which was the notion of reciprocity between people. Their society was non-materialistic, eqalitarian and power was diffused. They regarded land as a religious phenomenon, and people and land were inseparably linked. Nothing in the history or experience of the Eora prepared them for the British Invasion of 1788. Throughout a series of incidents of wounding and capture, Pemulwuy displayed a noble spirit and great bravery. The name Pemulwuy means earth, and it was as protector of his earth that he became renowned. His story was an inspiration for the two tracks that form the bookends of the album Feet in the Soil and this single.

The Caribbean, America, India, Africa and the Middle East all contribute influences to these richly varied and energetic compositions, whose vibrance is superbly captured in this unique recording. Smouldering layers of percussion form the foundation with a wide array of tablas, dholak, djembe, congas, bongos and bata drums. These are then joined by an exotic selection of voices and melodic instruments, including Native American flute, harmonium, saxaphone, trumpet, guitar and a plethora of keyboard sounds. James Asher's love of rhythm and the wide diversity of ethnic music is superbly enhanced by his spirited but super clear production style.

The colorful culture of Rajasthan was the inspiration for this India Fusion Groove project. James Asher and a few other excellent musicians mix modern and traditional Indian instruments with rousing trance dance rhythms.
