Stephen Kent is considered one of the founders of the "modern style" of didgeridoo playing. Mixing traditional and new playing techniques with innovative use of electronica and multi-track recordings, he manages to weave soundscapes that transport you to other places. Rich symphonies alternate with gripping solos. World music ? More like Out-of-this-world music.

An absolute must-own effort from the didgeridoo player of Fat Lights In A City. I knew this name sounded familiar - look at the Amazon asking price for this CD + a few of Kent's other solo titles. Mind-altering tracks include the seven-minute tribal "Mabo", the pure ambient "Anthem For The People", the brain scambler "Charm", the somewhat odd "Yekke", the nine-minute epic "Landing" and the {wonderful} new age "White Tree". Personnel: Stephen Kent - didgeridoo, tuba, sampling & arranger, fellow Lights In A Fat City member Kenneth Newby - sampling, John Loose - drums, Suru - djembe and Robyn Sean Peterson & Eda Maxym - vocals. In all honesty, 'Landing' really could be a Lights In A Fat City album. Highly recommended.

I don't listen to this type of music often at all, but I can recognize it for what it is. A great didgeridoo album. If you are looking for the sound of the didgeridoo, this album is for you. Well made. Hypnotic.
