Comments:
Excellent compositions for virtuoso guitar played by Martin Cradick and didjeridu. Graham Wiggins' pleasing rhythyms and Martin Craddick's fine guitar work complement each other enourmously in this fine recording. This recording is full of engagingly melodic songs of a moderate energy, not too fast, nor too meditative.

If you enjoy jazz, and relaxed gypsy style music, then you'll like Outback a lot. Graham and Martin are both classically trained musicians. Martin's classical guitar education shines through in Outback's work. I'm struggling to describe their music, but if you've every heard the South African band "Tananas," (unlikely) and liked them, then Outback is for you. Don't forget that Graham Wiggins went on to become Dr. Didj., so check out that entry in the discography.
