Album Notes

NOMINATED FOR BEST WORLD MUSIC ALBUM IN THE 2007 ARIAS!

Australia’s internationally award-winning ‘magical purveyors of the A Cappella art’ have released their sixth album Blueprint to critical acclaim and an ARIA nomination for Best World Music Album 2007. Recorded in between stints touring throughout Australia, Asia and headlining the 7th International Taipei Choral Festival, Blueprint is the finest creation so far by the innovators of original Australian vocal music. Featuring some of Australia’s finest improvising vocalists, this album is testimony to the ensemble’s history as storytellers and composers of brilliantly crafted songs that speak to the soul, and carves a blueprint for honouring the earth and one another.

Roger Mitchell, Sunday Herald Sun 2007
