   About earthdance

We are a new group of musicians/film makers and producers specialising in world/dance and chillout music. Formed in 2002 by Simon Willams and Phil Thornton, Earthdance is all about working with musicians and artists from all over the globe to create a unique blend of music with an infinate range of sounds and possibilities. Having already travelled/worked and performed with musicians from a wide range of countries including Ukraine/Gambia/Israel/Brazil/Egypt and India. Earthdance are planning more collaborations, travels, festivals and concerts for 2007/8.

We exist both as a live act and as a music and film/production company.The first Earthdance release was the 150,000 selling 'Buddha Experience' collection released in 2003. A new album and live show are currently being worked on for a May 2007 release. all about celebrating the diverse culture of the globe and expanding the boundaries of world music. By working with musicians from all over the world and mixing traditional instruments and tribal songs with cutting edge digital music technology our aim is to explore what makes the Earth dance and create an exciting new sound that evolves as we take the mobile studio to an ever changing cast of musicians and artists.

Secret Archives of the Vatican





21 Jul 2008 14:39

Greetings..Secret Archives of the Vatican CD, Babylon Halt is available from our website (click on the picture below):





Babylon Halt is available by mail order from Rough Trade or from their shop, Rough Trade East, in London.

Click here:
Rough Trade


Babylon Halt – 13 tracks of transglobal beats, with a breakbeat, dub, Asian and Arabian flavour...........Secret Archives’ follow-up album to Reformation has been a while coming but it’s been worth the wait. The Walls of Byzantium, a favourite with Secret Archives’ live audiences, opens a selection of tunes that includes the late-night triphop jazziness of Budayeen 3am, the political/spiritual militancy of Fear of a Black Jesus, the Moroccan-influenced Gnawa of Power and the tablatronic breakbeats of Seven Brides 4 Seven Samurai – and more.

PEACE FULL SAIL PEACE FULL SAIL The excitement grows! We are getting closer to showing the world our desire for World Peace. We have sent Lemmy with a truckload of supplies from Germany to Spain to load on the boat. Also, several musicians are heading that way as well as the Skipper! I leave in a few days to set up the Satellite equipment for our Internet broadcasts, brief the crew and discuss how we are going to film the journey. We are looking good with a major network for our series and I should be talking with them again soon. They don't know it yet since there is some new news, but we are joining forces with another documentary being filmed in Jamaica by a huge music-film-publishing company that I'm affilliated with. We are going to surprise alot of people! This will make our production 100 times fatter! and our mission a million times brighter! Wait till you hear who's involved with that! Also in discussion is our daily updates we are filming to upload on to the Internet via the satallite equipment. Thats a little tedious but should be no problem for the Peace Full Sail EuroRock experts! When we arrive at the boat we will also begin shopping for two months worth of food for 10 people. Can you imagine that? Det was telling me three to four carloads of rice, beans, pasta, ...basically all the stapels. Bottled water is enormous! Everyone will then do another shopping spree for their 'cant do withouts'..like chocolates, chips, you know, the junk foods I guess. Maybe some healthy stuff lol...I can't live without my Sugar Smacks, Chocolates and potato chips...the rippled ones. We will also be training the crew on safety, running the sails, watches, and general stuff like how to shower with sea water and sweet water rinse. Also the proper way to hollar, "Ahoy Mate!" Many things we gotta do!..we will upload some video of us doing all the above before we set sail. I will also make public our EuroRockers and award winning film crew at t
