Visit the Reviews page for
comments on all James Asher's
albums. A wonderful,
relaxing album. The highlight is the thirty
minute long title track - any fan of the
The Great Wheel will find comfort with this
track.
A music fan from the UK
5/5Years ago, Asher released his
debut CD called The Great Wheel. Besides
being in a meditative extended style prior
to that genre coming into vogue, it was a
far cry from his juicy world music
escapades such as 'Feet in the Soil'.
'Lotus Path' is his first extended length
meditative CD since 1988. In this release,
Asher embraces the rich sounds of the
bazouki and dulcimer. Inspired by the
percussive and melodic interplay of these
stringed instruments, Asher weaves a
dynamic journey of sound. Lotus Path's
mood is further enhanced through the
addition of chanting by Indian percussion
maestro Sivamani. Equal parts journey music
and meditative backdrop, Asher calls on
others for harp, flutes and cello parts,
and focuses the energy on the 32 minute
title track which opens the album, a
musical adventure imbued with warmth and
spirit.
