"It's a very great Didgeridoo-CD. The Sound of the Didgeridoo is in the top and not other instruments. It's a very good CD for Didgeridoo fans. This CD will get in the collection of a Didgeridoo fan."

"The cover promises a 20 page booklet with "rare photographs!" i only found pedestrian drawings. I found absolutely no credits, no listings of singers, didj players, clappers = the artists. the notes cite a very brief history of exploitation by white settlers, etc. including what amounts to another kind of holocaust really. and abuse continues in the manner in which this 2 cd set is offered up to a public, most of whom know little about the history, culture, song histories, rhythms of the didj, styles of playing, etc. NONE OF THAT is mentioned anywhere in the booklet or the back of the cd cover - simply track titles and times. BIG DEAL!! Virtually meaningless. I wanted to write to this company and tell them how they're continuing to rip off the indigenous peoples by releasing a cd like this with absolutely no useful information and credits!! what were they thinking?? someone's making some bucks off this though, and i'm willing to bet it ain't the glorious aborigines!! the playing varies from awesome to mundane/traditional, as does the singing/chanting; but then again having the background on the material might help the listener don't you think!!?? so take it or leave it. there are truly great cds out there by blokes such as David Hudson, Mark Atkins, Steven Kent, etc. if you do due diligence and research great players and the majority of their cds give you info that's helpful. this is a rip-off of the artists. shame shame on the record company folks, wherever you might be!!(no address; no web site; nothing!!)"
