| Gondwanaland Project |  Terra Incognita Reviews |
| "One of the hit picks of the year." Stiletto magazine May 1984 |
|
"Terra Incognita is a wonderfully sustained and coherent example of ambient music.......... ....that same sense of irresistible rolling power drone is evolved into a talking, dancing, singing evocation of primal creation that weaves in, out and through the new technology...." Terry Byrnes Ram magazine June 1984 |
| "They aim to give expression to the spirit of Australia in a series of compositions that feature
a blend of ancient sounds from the didgeridoo and the electronic synthesiser..... The combination of instruments is stunningly successful........ You can put your own images to it. There are rugged mountain ranges, sweeping plains, far horizons and jewelled seas........." Bob Hudson the National Times June 1984 |
| "The combination of didgeridoo and synthesiser is the crux of Gondwanaland Project's music
and the linking of old and new, natural and technical, is crucial to the timelessness of the images conveyed........ The compositions are often symphonic in their construction and delivery while maintaining a natural and spontaneous feel....... The sheer majesty of the music is frequently overwhelming. At times the pulsing solemnity of the sound generates a feeling of spaciousness and grandeur that is entirely cerebral....... It combines the cerebral and the physical in a dynamic celebration of life and living........." Mark Dodshon Didgeridooing August 1984
