SHAMAN DRUMS is a greatest hits collection from earthy instrumentalist James Asher. Percussion-driven tribal works are Asher's bag and this multicultural collection shows the artist at his best. Twelve adrenaline-pumping slices of shamanic bliss await listeners, each a lively swirl of beats and textures from a variety of cultures including Africa, India and Native America. One of the album's principal highlights is the previously unreleased opening track AMMA, an ethno-electric kaleidoscope of groove that features Indian master drummer Sivamani. Other strong points include the didgeridoo-flavored "Red Rhythm Dragon" and the enchantingly Asian "Temple Gates."
