Anyone else getting notes of Norwegian Wood?

If you don't get a song like this, try drumming to it or dancing to it
Then the trance sets in and those 2 minutes can feel like super tight 30 seconds

I had the pleasure of meeting Xavier Rudd at a folk festival. Really nice fellow. But experiencing his performance (he's a one-man band, did you know) under the right influence during a warm summer night was unforgettable. Some of his politically-bent songs are quite moving.

You should really check out San Francisco local band Trance Mission.  Very much like this but even better.  Listen to  the"A Day Out of Time" album.

Isn't that opening borrowed from Jefferson Airplane's Crown of Creation?  Then the song transitions to Jingo by Santana.

The didge of Stephen Kent with Trance Mission from San Fransisco would also match perfect in a flow like this. Not one Trance Mission song on RP!?

The fact that you describe "world music" as a genre means you're not really tolerant.  World music might have made sense as a label briefly in the 1980s, but it is utterly meaningless now.

gotta love the didge!!! But I am Australian..... any of you doubters out there, please take a listen to a traditional Aboriginal song, I find this sound so incredibly haunting.  Especially when you consider they were only recorded last century. This sound is so much of the landscape, haunting and energising... IMHO

Pyro, you can play a didgeridoo? That's rather awesome... How'd you learn? Where'd you get one on which to practice? Sorry for all the questions, but I love exotic instruments and the sounds they create. (I'm stuck with guitar and piano. And occasionally, my own nose-whistle, although I'm trying to unlearn that one.)

I agree - Xavier Rudd is extremely talented! (And sorta cute - I like his macramaed ankle-bracelet.)

Xavier Rudd comes from my local town. I was shocked to hear him on an great, worldwide radio station such as Radio Paradise.
Although his music isn't really to my taste, I can still appreciate it - because he's amazing at what he does.

After that Gogol Bordello travesty, not sure I've ever dished out back-to-back 2s during my decade of listening to Radio Paradise. I know some people love the didj, but it's an automatic cringe from the Asheville jury. (Which is ironic if anyone knows about the Asheville culture).

That song would be the best song ever if I had just taken enough LSD to send an elephant to the moon.  Minus chemical alteration...  interesting but not something that I'd seek out.

There is something so primal and cool about the music of a didgeridoo.  And circular breathing is always fascinating.

I just saw them play WOMadelaide. What a great rhythm section! They were so tight. They're called Izintaba and they're from South Africa.

You basically yell into the didg while playing. That is the basics of it. What Xavier does is the art!!!!

Posted 15 years ago by fireboydan    [ Reply ]
The didg is one of the most difficult instruments to play. You have to be able to breathe in and out at the same time. Try it.

Posted 15 years ago by Grammarcop    [ Reply ]
Nice to hear something from this talented musician on RP! (Though I'd recommend other tracks - when he sings and there's less didgeridoo.)
