Colors of Trance by James Asher

Colors of Trance. An acoustic harp played with the lilt and poetry of Ireland's Madeleine Doherty, accompanied by a dynamic mix of percussion, including Japanese taiko drum, Indian tablas, congas and didgeridoo. Produced by James Asher, who also plays an exotic array of keyboard sounds, this album expands the boundaries of trance. Asher's ground-breaking world beat albums Feet in the Soil and Tigers of the Raj have distinguished him as a pioneer in the field of world music fusion. Each track is a musical interpretation of one of thirteen Colors. The styles range from foot-stomping dance to lyrical and haunting visually evocative tone poems. The innovative combination of instruments and styles give this album a unique and vital originality.

Customer Review - "I really appreciate a person who knows how to make profound and astonishing music! James Asher definately deserves a compliment in my opinion for these very majestic and well engineered works of art. Some songs are slower than others, see thats his imagination trying to interpret the Colors of Trance; even the slower songs have their own dynamics. A very nice flowing and crisp sound that puts it in a class of its own. Some of the songs I dance to and tear the house apart while getting ready to party. A must for any serious person with any taste at all for meditative music with its unique twist of soulfulness and spiritfulness."
