"Hey, "Feet in the Soil" is my favourite James Asher CD, followed by "Tigers of the Raj". When New Earth came out with a "Tigers of the Raj-Remix" CD, I thought Id give it a try. Well, I gotta admit that I didn't really like it much. This CD, "Feet in the Soil-2", is anouther story entirely. The remixes here don't get too cluttered up with overdubbed "canned" sounds, and instead focus on what made Feet in the Soil so good to begin with---the MUSIC and the drums! The mixing on this CD is done by Grahame Gerard, and he has done a great job. The 64 track mix includes live music with some of the "canned" sounds, but concentrates on showcasing the "real" stuff. The rhythms are pure fun and very danceable. Adding the vocals and dubbing in the additional beats and sounds, such as digeridoo, make for a complete package. The mix is great and moves "Feet in the Soil-2" to up into the dance-trance groove category! A real work of art!"

"A cocophany of Earth Rhythms and smooth melodies, this CD is one of the best in my New Age/International collection. Very interesting and beautiful all at once. Trancey and Dance-able yet can also be very melodic and light. It is passionate, with great depth and musical maturity."
