Oh, that's why I couldn't play the didgeridoo when I was In Australia. I didn't get the "oscillatory flow" correct and my circular breathing was all out of whack. I'll just stick with the guitar. I just wish I could play one, and so do my friends. |

| Ahnyer_Keester (Chicago Il) | Posted: Jul 12, 2008 - 20:41 This is really cool! |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jun 11, 2008 - 08:30 Hmm. On this showing, guitar and didgerydoo go together like a horse and cabbage. Nice effort, but I don't think it works. |

| copymonkey (in the northeast, but not near anywhere cool) | Posted: Apr 09, 2008 - 10:01 Anybody ever see the movie "The Coca-Cola Kid" with Eric Roberts? In it the members of Split Enz come up with a down under version of a Coke jingle that includes a dijderidoo (sp?)--and it's AWESOME! |

I had to look it up to see what it was. Learn something new everyday! |

| stickers11 (Burnaby, BC) | Posted: Jul 06, 2006 - 00:10 I agree the didgeridoo gets a little tiresome after a while....throw in a bull-roarer, then we're talking! |
| ave (Winnipeg) | Posted: Jun 21, 2006 - 08:34 Catchy. Loving the variety. |
| thugdrummer | Posted: May 08, 2006 - 14:30 My initial thought when it first started was "HEY EVERYBODY CHECK IT OUT! IT'S A DIDGEDEROO!" Never really got into the hoopla about the instrument. The rest of the tune is ok. |

Or, if you google didgeridoo together with, say, funk, you'll realize that maybe the world needs fewer. ![]() |

| araja | Posted: Oct 15, 2005 - 19:48 I bought a didgeridoo at an art fair after hearing this album. I couldn't get a sound out of it. My son, who plays the trumpet, can blow it like Miles Davis. Go Figure. BTW, this is the best of Baka. Baka Beyond is also cool though more Afro-Celt. |
| janellish (vroom) | Posted: Oct 15, 2005 - 19:36 nice for working to. which, um, is what i ought to be doing. i like the mix of instruments! |
