This album was briefly mentioned in my Opus 3 overview in issue 8, but I feel it requires a fuller examination. As I noted, the sounds are suggestive of the best of ECM's jazz recordings, with Ari Haraldsson's sax sounding like a less disconsolate version of Jan Gabarek's. The music is a pleasant mix of, evocative, new age with a hint of the avant-garde. The occasional appearance of the Didgeridoo brings an ethnic feel to the proceedings - Nordic trolls and dragons go down-under!

来自Cirrus的Lands End（Opus3 HDCD）这张是我经常听的一张CD，值得注意的是它让我有听ECM中那些好作品的感觉不过更加温暖一些不像Jan Gabarek那么寒冷，没有Keith那么深邃，没有Terje那么孤高一个孤独温暖的欧洲爵士搀杂着点NewAge和先锋派的影子特别有趣的是第五首，开头使用了didgeri-doo （那个澳洲的土族乐器，一根空心树干顶在地上吹），然后曲风转向探戈，好是温柔野性。

其实澳洲没有我想象中的西方化，很多的亚洲人在这里居住(据说如果在市中心附近的话，完全不用英语也没问题的，很多店铺都有华语或者第二语言服务)。

The Northern Territory government announced its plan recently for Docker River, a town of 350 residents where thirsty camels have been arriving daily for weeks.
