Biography

Since the early 90’s the Wild Colonials have been charming music critics and audiences alike with their eclectic rock sound which incorporates everything from the low blow of a Didgeridoo to the sweet rub of a violin. To experience the music of Wild Colonials is to take a step into a realm of rock where most dare not go, yet they pull it off brilliantly.

Their story began in early 1992 at an Irish… Read more in Amazon's Wild Colonials Store

5.0 out of 5 stars original, September 24, 2000

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Fruit of Life (Audio CD)

English lacks the superlatives to describe this album. In today's pop culture, in which crass commercialism crushes originality, Fruit of Life stands out as a perfect jewel. The depth of their lyrics astounds. The range of their vocals intrigues. The purity of their harmony amazes. All in all, the best CD in years. No wonder the big labels ignore them!

5.0 out of 5 stars 13 years and still one of my favorite albums, October 22, 2007

C. Goodwin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fruit of Life (Audio CD)

It sickens me that people are selling used copies of this CD for less than a dollar. I feel compelled to buy all of them and hoard them in a bank vault on the off chance that this CD becomes unavailable at some point in the future. I bought this CD back in 1994 because one of my college professors (a recent transplant from L.A.) recommended it, and I have loved it ever since. If you listen to it and do not become obsessed with it, then there is something seriously wrong with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Band since Indigo Girls, February 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fruit of Life (Audio CD)

I cannot say enough about this album. Every song is a treat-- I have been listening to the album for well over a year. The music is similar to ballads by Everything But the Girl and Indigo Girls, and even better in some ways. A word of caution, however: the 1996 album is much different, reflecting a harder and faster sound.
