Australia: Sound of the Earth is a 1991 album from Steve Roach, documenting Roach's second trip to Australia. David Hudson's didgeridoo and cellist Sarah Hopkins were also featured.
Just as the mythology of the Australian people and their continent was personified through the complex Aboriginal creation stories called The Dreamtime, the land also gave rise to a rich musical culture unlike any other. Australia: Sounds of the Earth captures the primordial hums and rhythms that have emerged from and moved across this continent in the four directions, like the winds themselves since The Dreamtime began.
This recording features the didgeridoo, an Aboriginal wind instrument of remarkable flexibility and power, in traditional and innovative formats. Virtuoso solos by Aboriginal artist, David Hudson, are complemented by performances of up to four didgeridoo players accompanied by drums and electronics. Tracing the development of an indigenous music firmly rooted in patterns of existence dictated by the rhythms of the land, Australia: Sounds of the Earth embraces Australia's musical past and present.
The riveting performance of cellist Sarah Hopkins, acknowledges the debt 20th century composers owe to the influence of Aboriginal music. By utilizing a combination of bowing techniques and overtone singing, the Australian cellist emulates sounds of the didgeridoo. Producer, Steve Roach, blends the recordings from the outback with their haunting modern echoes by creating evocative soundscapes and the illusion of a journey through time and space to the origins of these primal sounds.

David Sylvian (born David Alan Batt; 23 February 1958) is an English musician, singer and songwriter who came to prominence in the late 1970's as frontman and principal songwriter of the band Japan. The band's androgynous look and increasingly electronic sound made them an important influence on the UK's early-1980's New Romantic scene.
Following their break-up, Sylvian embarked on a solo career with his debut album Brilliant Trees (1984). His solo work has been described by AllMusic as "far-ranging and esoteric", and has included collaborations with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Fripp, Holger Czukay, Jon Hassell, Bill Nelson and Fennesz.
While his recordings of the 1980's and 1990's were a mixture of pop, jazz fusion, and avant-garde experimentalism mixed with ambient, his more recent compositions have drawn increasingly on musical minimalism and free improvisation.

Upside Down At The Bottom Of The World - "The first seven tracks of this CD were commissioned by ABC Radio National to celebrate the Centenary of Federation. The last five tracks were written for a show called "The Enormous Club" by Melbourne theatre company, Born In A Taxi. The CD divides roughly into two halves. Tracks 1-6 include some more boisterous tunes, good for doing the housework to. If you want some late night chill out music, you might want to start at track 7 and play to the end."

Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell are best known for their work as members of legendary band Dead Can Dance. Gerrard is also celebrated for her contribution to the soundtracks of huge Hollywood blockbusters like 'Gladiator' and independent gems like 'Whale Rider'.
Jules Maxwell is an Irish composer, whose work has featured in London at the Royal Opera House, the National Theatre and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
'Burn' began its journey more than seven years ago, when Gerrard first met and began working with Maxwell. Things really took root when Gerrard and Maxwell began writing songs for the 'BooCheeMish' album by The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices (Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares). They were later introduced to Chapman and asked him to produce this album, which represents a stunning departure for all three of them.
"‘Burn’ was never planned to be an album. Like many joyous things in life, it grew slowly and unexpectedly. One song at a time. Lisa Gerrard is in my opinion one of the most important singers of her generation and it continues to be an enormous privilege for me to be working with her. What we have created still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up from time to time," says Jules Maxwell.
