More Reviews of Dance of the Light

A summer night. Everything has fallen asleep. Impenetrable darkness and ringing silence. Slumber and peace all around. But you cannot sleep. You are lying and listening to that silence. And suddenly, oh wonder! From somewhere, from afar you can hear the tuneful sounds, ringing a little. A low music penetrates into your home, filling it by harmony. And together with the music light comes. Everything sinks in the shining. And you are showered by the warm rays, warm for both body and soul, and you are passing upwards. That pulsing light and myriad of silver shimmering spheres around you. That’s so beautiful, so charming. And you are feeling that the light fills you with love, love towards everything around. And you are feeling so huge, like the Universe, and your heart is boundless, it can contain the whole world. And you are feeling that love… No, you are Love! And no more words to express all this…

An ocean of light, sometimes passionate, sometimes calm, softly enveloping, sometimes playfully enticing – that is music of James Asher. His album Dance of the Light is a meditation, a permission for existence to pass through you and to clear you. Music of James Asher is so beautiful, so harmonious! Being weaved from many thinnest laces, it is very emotional. Electronic music of James Asher is simple and simultaneously deep. It is very light, almost weightless, and romantic. It is refined and subtle. And the birds singing early before morning just intensify emotionality of James Asher’s music.

Listening to Dance of the Light, more than an hour passes immediately, as if it was one minute. And one wants to listen this music again and again, because it brings tremendous delight, because it has healing power of Light, healing power… of Love itself. Serge Kozlovsky.

A nightingale, invisible inside a forest dusk proceeds intrepidly with trilling of a song of love that sounds over undercover forest depths…

The music of a silent forest at down. The music of those daybreak hours when secret wishes and inmost thoughts become awaken and one may look into the deepest nooks of consciousness.

It is still a night. A pitch darkness and a clinking stillness around. Everything is in peace and quiet. But for some reason you could not sleep. You are lying and listening to this silence. And all of a sudden, oh, miracle! From somewhere afar tuneful, a little bit ding-dong sounds have reached your ears. A low music gets into your home filling it up with harmony. It is accompanied by a soft light. Its aureole brightens everything around. And you bathe in its warm rays which are heating your flesh and soul and you speed high into the air. And this pulsatory light and myriads of silvery twinkling small balls are surrounding you. That is so beautiful, so charming! And you feel how this light fills you with love to everything. You realize that you are so huge as this Universe is, and your heart becomes enormous, it stores all of it. Oh, no, you yourself is just Love! No words remain any longer to express all this…

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.

Being next to the bestseller Feet in the Soil the Dance of the Light album has revealed one more distinction of James Asher’s talent who is a beautiful melody maker, a master of salutary, relaxation music. An acquaintance with this aspect of his creative work would be insufficient without his album Rivers of Life produced by Spring Hill Music Studio in common with the Dance of the Light album. A meditative, smooth and streamy tune of Rivers of Life strengthens the state of inward peace and quiet.

While listening to this divine music two hours and more fly away like a shot, as if they were a minute. And you are eager to listen to this music time and again because it gives immense pleasure, since this music has a salutary power of light, a salutary power of Love itself without which Life cannot exist.
