Following the success of the best-selling Feet in the Soil, larger and deeper drums join the didgeridoo this time around with a fresh palette of sounds setting the party swaying. Real Player Reviews James Asher has released several outstanding drumming-dance albums, including Feet in the Soil and Tigers of the Ra j. One of the biggest differences between Feet in the Soil and Feet in the Soil 2 is Asher's use on the more recent album of ashiko and standing ngoma drums as well as the taiko drum. These large, heavy drums create a deeper, more potent sound that resonates down to the bone.
Rhythms clapping and chanting also create an earthly, dynamic tone.
Asher plays a long list of percussion instruments as well as keyboards, Sandeep Raval contributes more percussion, and other musicians add bass guitar, trumpet, sax, and didgeridoo. The ecstatic result is full of exuberant drumming and irresistible grooves. Feet in the Soil 2 is perfect for all kinds of movement, and the intensity varies enough to keep things interesting. For those who love to dance until they sweat, and then to keep dancing, Feet in the Soil 2 succeeds brilliantly. Multitalented and several drum disciplines, including djembe, standing ngoma, and frame drum, Asher's bloodbeat rhythms are accompanied by a generous array of other percussion, as well as didjeridu, bass guitar, elbow and electric guitars, recorder, trumpet, saxophone, and an assortment of tribal vocalizations.
