This CD came as a total surprise to me on both counts. This is a dance CD and a good one. Starting off with Midnight Trance, the CD just compels one to get up and move. All the track lengths and tempos are on the money for a night out clubbing. The use of the didgeridoo with electronic dance music is not a new idea by any means. But a lot of the genre is not that musical or listenable unless under some influence chemical or otherwise. This one, however, works for me on all levels. The second track,. “Thunder Feet” is true house. Four on the floor, slamming kick drum and everything that is good house. The didge comes in deep rapid fire bursts, very reminiscent of Gondwana Land CD’s. The congas and high hat are very tight and there are some thrilling breaks. “Feeding the Sharks” features nice rhythmic vocal work alternating with some very clever synth melodic work. “Tantric Ecstasy” has some nice bass perculations, synth pads and brilliant melodic synth passages. The use of the didgeridoo as a proper member of the pallette of instrumentation on this is very intelligent. Rick’s tone and timing are very sharp as the dideridoo sneaks in and out of the various rhythmic themes. The production on this track is superb. The strings appearance at about the 3 minute mark is especially thrilling. “Mystic Valley Woman” is a high point of the disc. Using thrilling effected vocals and quick hitting sneak didge patterns, it’s a very tribal sounding effort which is chilled to just right temperature by some jazzy keyboard pads. If you like your didges DEEP then “Chasing Coyotes” is the track for you. Deep didge, but fast tempo. Some really nice conga work on this one as well. “Voodoo Dance” is very mystic sounding with a kind of down temp island feel, very exotic sound! The final track is “Cosmic Crickets.” A great finale it is too, with a drum track which sounds like it’s right out of a ballroom latin soundtrack and lots of mysterious sound effects. This last track would be right at home in a movie soundtrack.
