State Of Grace

Asher Quinn's latest album, 'State of Grace', contains11 remarkable, dynamic and compelling new tracks, with a unifying plaintive, mystical and heart-centred theme. There are spine-tingling and emotive piano-based spiritual love songs; jaunty and mythic guitar-pick based folk ballads; stirring, anthemic instrumental passages, and even spoken word, which goes straight to the heart. An album full of grace, passion, hope and intimate tenderness, all held together by Asher's visionary lyrics; pure, disarming voice, and the sheer beauty of the music. Asher Quinn has been making music since 1987, and has sold over a million CD's world-wide. His early tracks were ground-breaking, instrumental, new-age classics, many of which were adopted as anthems by various spiritual and humanitarian organisations, like 'Soldier of love', 'Sacred heart', 'Missa Greca' and 'Return to your soul'. More recently, as a troubador and singer-songwriter, Asher has again broken new ground with a unique visionary and mystical style, that somehow combines William Blake with Leonard Cohen, Vivaldi with Bob Dylan, and brings together the essence of Christianity, Judaism and Islam under a profound one-world roof. Notable offerings here include 'Falling through time', 'The hallelujah song' and 'State of grace'. Asher has recently been asked to sing by various spiritual organisations, like the Rainbow Spirit Festival in Germany, the Foundation for Conscious Living in Hungary, a Yoga Foundation in Spain and Theosophical Foundations in Denmark, Holland and Iceland. With an other-worldly sense of the prophetic and the shamanic informing his music and poetry, these are some of the comments filtering through from listeners: 'God put angels on the earth to help us find meaning, and Asher is one of those Angels'. ~ Mayha Bei, Brazil 'Asher's music is really not of this world, but it is from the heart to the heart. So serene, so honest, so wonderful.' ~ Marc de Klein, reviewer for Consciousness Magazine (Bewustzjin), Holland 'Up there with the best, Asher, your music is so calming and beautiful'. John Beeby, UK 'Comparisons have been made over the years to Ennio Morricone, Peter Gabriel, Leonard Cohen and Phillip Glass, but there's no disputing that Asher Quinn is 100% original! An other-worldly folk troubador who's compositional style borders on the exceptional. ~ Wildy Haskell, Review You, CDBaby.
