Digeridoo music?
I'm looking for some recommendations for some good digeridoo music. Perhaps with some drumming etc. - kind of trancy stuff. I've listened to some Xavier Rudd and really enjoyed his stuff.
If you know of anyone who has some legal mp3s online to sample that would be even better

For Christmas my brother got me a didgeridoo - completely unexpected, but a cool gift nonetheless. He says the ladies'll love me for it and I'll be known as the "Didj Guy." I can make some of the sounds, but I really need to pick up the circular breathing technique.
But to answer your question, Aphex Twin has a cool song called "Didgeridoo." Other than that, though, I can't really help you.

When my realtives went to Australia about 6 years ago they brought me back a tape with all digeridoo music on it. I still have it somewhere, I could give it to you for price of shipping if you wanted it.

Dr. Didg = http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...=Blgjc7i38g7dr I've got their first two albums - fantastic stuff.
I also picked up a cd back in 1994 by someone called NOMAD, but I can't find any information about it.
But you should check out Dr Didg. It features Graham Wiggins, who used to be in the band Outback, which also has Didg stuff in it.
Cheers.

I was also going to suggest Dr. Didj. Saw him live a few years ago, and he's really interesting. Certainly not "standard" digeridoo music but really likable and even catchy at times.
By the way, he really is a doctor. Apparently has a doctorate in music for playing the instrument.

"Garden" by the Levellers has some didgeridoo (just listened to it again today at work) -- they may use it in some other songs as well, but I can't remember offhand.

Yothu Yindi is an Aboriginal Australian band that mixes traditional (including loads of digeridoo), rock, and house/techno into very interesting music. They had a minor hit in the U.S. a few years back with "Treaty" from this album:

If you're looking for something a little less modern, check out "Dead Can Dance - Spiritchaser" while not didj focused, it has some didj in it and is a lot more trance inducing than stuff like the australian Dave Matthews aka Xavier Rudd. DCD uses a lot of traditional tribal instruments in their music, lots of drumming. If you like Spiritchaser, check out "Toward the Within" and "Into the Labyrinth" as well.
You can check out free sound samples at amazon.

I have a Didj myself and have looked around for some good music and really haven't found much. I have a friend in australia, maybe I'll drop her a line and see what she says.

As for Lisa Gerrard, i've never heard or seen any of her interviews so i really have no clue at all how she is as a person.

One of these days i'll learn to play one of them (didj or one of the hand drums).
