Customer comments on this
album
Visit the Reviews page for
comments on all James Asher's
albums. James Asher`s
fantasia of world / tribal music is a
delightful brew - an intoxicating
concoction of global rhythms and Western
style 'grooves'. Many cuts use chants and
drones to weave hypnotic spells, while
others will coax your hips to swaying with
their seductive rhythms.
A music fanI'd
had this music on a cassette a few years
ago and the tape broke. I was thrilled to
be able to find it now on a CD. Light some
incense, put this on your CD player and I
guarantee your stress will
disappear.
Terri DuLong from Cedar
Key, Florida
Globalarium is a musical portrait of
a unified and harmonious world through a
multiplicity of ethnic musical styles. Just
as Asher's previous, The Great Wheel,
covered a lot of ground, his new
Globalarium travels far and wide in
gathering its musical influences, such as
didgeridoo, classical flute, trumpet,
shakuhachi, recorder, steel drum and a
large selection of sampled and electronic
sounds. Adding to the mix are guest
performers such as Hossam Ramsy on
percussion (has played with Peter Gabriel),
Tim Wheater on flute, Joji Hirota (of
Trisan trio), and, of course, Asher himself
who plays keyboards in addition to being
composer, producer and arranger on
Globalarium. The ingenious combinations and
multitextured pieces command attention and
invite lots of in-depth exploration for
rewarding listening all the way.
