When I bought this CD I said cool Australian music. But When I heard it I was like WOW!! it was ten times better than I expected. Nomad combines the Australian aborigoanl sounds with our very own Native American sounds. The songs I like best are "Wildlife", "Gathering", and "Trading Ground". The first one is a didjereedo only track that is just awsome. The gathering made me feel in an collective mood like i was part of the whole world singing to this song. and the last one trading ground is the best beacuse it combines the East and the West. I loved the chants and the singing especially in "Tracking" and "Follow the Sun" :>

Mixing the raw sounds of Africa, indigenous America, and aboriginal Australia results in a soulful blend that is different, yet familiar. Though I've never experienced Australian aboriginal music before Nomad, I connect quickly because it's so familiar to the sounds of my Native American and African tradition. Prior to my purchase, I only knew of one track ("Gathering") that was played at the concert of Australian-born Rick Springfield. Glad I purchased the CD, because it's so much more rewarding to experience it in its entirety.

I run with this music. I never heard of this group before. I bought the CD because it was recommended. Very tribal. The native lauguage with the traditional instuments and other worldly sounds.........all I can say is with this CD I am not running in the 20th century.

Addictive, powerful, smooth... FFFFFFFFFFFFFUN! The exotic sounds of the didgeridoo compel you to listen, the eruption of flutes and drums drive you into hypnotic trance with the smooth pulsation of voices waking you back up. What a plethora of sounds... It all draws you in. My curiosity turned to awe as the music invaded and stirred my soul. Load this into your MP3 player for your next walkabout.

I have had this CD for 6 years. I don't even know how it ended up on my shelf. I have listened to it regularly for the entire time that I have had it. There is a lot of spirit and soul in this music. It will make you want to move. It is awesome. If you like "world music", drum beats, tribal styles... you will love this CD.

This was my first CD of Australian aboriginal music. A Fitness Center Spinning instructor used the "Nomad" track from this CD as one of her spin class tunes. I found it inspiring! What a unique change from the musical sameness so common in the American music industry. We'd do well to look around the world for the kind of excitment the music on this CD creates. Allow yourself a treat and try this one looking for a new musical experience! I ordered it used from Janie Dvorak Compton and it came the day after I ordered it. Both cover and CD were in great condition.

I saw this CD used at a local record store and grabbed it up on a whim. It's Australian aboriginal music. You've got flutes, percussion, didgeridoos, chants in indigenous languages, and shouts. It's a great meditation CD. Just bliss out.

Ever wonder where the "Domah" sound played on "Due South" came from? It's here on Track 9, "Trading Ground."

Probably my favorite song of the collection is "Follow the Sun." It's one of those songs you need to play on a Monday when things just aren't going right.

If you enjoy varietal world music, "Nomad" is definitely going to be worth the money. It's so well done I'm planning on taking it with me next time I audition speakers.

What can I say?! This album is truly wonderful from start to ending. I've listened to this album since it's release and have never gotten tired of hearing it. Definitely a "must-have" for New Age listeners.

That's not mistake when I'm using word WHO. Every song has a soul... As a everything for the Nomads...

"Keep Your Face to the Sunlight, and You Will Not See the Shadows." I am drawn to the Native American chants and drums. Melodic flute compells me, the tempo moves me, the digeridoo reaches inside me. I have been listening to this album for years, and I still can't get enough.
