Yay thank you! Well done on some excellent reviewing by the way. I hope that I can extensify my music tastes in such a way as you and other members have here.

Basically, Beds Are Burning = how you deliver a message and get loads of people to listen
They are just brilliant all round, people should listen to them it's well worth it! I totally agree about Beds Are Burning, listening to their lyrics actually makes you think about the situation and want to know more, and I feel the album continues this education of how people of native culture are treated in their country.

I think the song One Country from Blue Sky Mining seals the deal by suggesting - what does the listener think about what is really going on?
