This is unusual... both Lights in a Fat City albums are on City of
Tribes records which can be found in any Tower Records world music
section (but recently, Tower Music geeks have been grouping world music
stuff with the techno).

Specifically, "The Sound of Australia"... to me, it's like Biosphere
meets LiafC. Heavily effected Didjeridu playing with pretty minimal
rhythm parts and very mellow melodic pads. There's also a double ablum
of his that seems to be inspired by the Aboriginal culture (entitled
"Dreamtime" or something to that effect... I'll be getting this soon,
so if there's interest I'll post a review).

I _love_ orbital. I HATE looped Didjeridu samples. It's ruins the
purpose of the instrument... The Didjeridu is one of the most expressive
instruments in the world (try playing one), and to simply loop a sound bite
seems a waste to me.

Hmmmm, a distorted Didj. sounds strikingly similar to a 303 eh?

David Hudson is featured on "Sounds of Australia" and I believe can be
heard on "Dreamtime".
The didjeridu player on "Alien Dreamtime" is Stephen Kent who is
1/3rd of LiaFC, and is a MUCH better player than David Hudson. I hope
I can one day play with his amazing varience.
My best advice for anyone wanting to get into the Didjeridu is to buy
the second LiaFC record "Somewhere". The last track still puts me in
orbit (MMmmmmm, delayed Didj... wow). If it sparks further interest look
into Steve Roach, Outback, and some recordings by the BBC.
Hope that helped somewhat...
