Notes/Reviews
Adam Plack (Nomad), together with Aboriginal songmen Bobby Bunnungurr, David Gulpilil, and Jimmy Jidamin, created Songman in the Aborignal territory known as Ramingining. A cohesive blend of ancient traditionals, landscape-influenced sound, and contemporary groove, Songman is a strange and enchanting mix of chant, phat funky club beats, didjeridoo, horns, and Hank Marr-styled jazziness, along with Nomad's Phil Collins-eque vocals. This heady song cycle incorporates vibes, whirring organ, drum loops, and electric guitar as well, resulting in a very ambitious rave up. Overwhelming in some instances, Songman is intoxicating, lively, and endlessly unfolding. Of particular beauty is the traditional chant: potent, raw, and intriguing when mixed in with dense grooves. An appealing if not altogether even recording. --Paige La Grone
