Earthdance
is an instrumental celebration of the four seasons
of nature that link with the cycles of spiritual
growth and developement, i.e. SPRING - Birth/Rebirth,
SUMMER - Experience, AUTUMN - Reflection and WINTER
- Initiation; when all that has gone before is re-evaluated
internally and is manifest on another level the
following Spring.
Earthdance follows in the footsteps of one of Nick's most popular albums The River Song Suite, with gentle acoustic guitar invoking the healing spirit of nature, but includes more powerful instrumental tracks with additional piano and percussion by Steve Jay (at Merlyns Cave Studio).
This CD is ideal for use in healing, meditations and visualisations - especially for grounding, connecting to the Earth and sending healing energy to 'Mother Earth'. Nick Ashron says"The intent of my music is to take the listener on a journey of healing and transformation to a higher state of being".
* 'Lament for the Trees' has now been made into a new music video to promote the re-release of Selections (The Best of Nick Ashron/Elfin Spiral) on Real2Can Records of which the track is also included. Watch the video below!

"A really lovely CD it inspired me so much. Would highly recommend it." Wendy Bramley

"Absolutely stunning. Listened to it at 6am door wide open, birds chirping and having breakfast from feeder. Completely lost myself. I felt I was in the music, so relaxed and grounded. When it finished I was walking on air. Had a DR's appointment and for the first time in years my blood pressure was perfect. Keep them rolling Nick." TOPAZ(Dee Ann Blackmore)

"I can see we will wear these [Four Elements Collection] CD's out!
They are played regularly and never tire. They are always fresh and a joy to hear." David Chivers (Musician, Colchester Essex UK)
