Description:

The Australian outback, with its spectacular scenery and primal mythology, has long been revered as one of the most beautiful and spiritual places on earth. This DVD pays lavish tribute to the outback by combining spectacular nature photography with ethereal "tribal music" by the Australian ambient group Rivertribe. Landscape photographer Michael Scott Lees contributes the visuals, gorgeously shot images in panoramic format of magnificent mountains, lush rainforests, craggy coastlines, even captivating scenes of modern urban Australia. As the camera slowly pans across the detailed panoramas, Rivertribe's didgeridoo and other instruments cast a meditative spell. A remarkable segment lavishes attention on ancient aboriginal cave paintings, and a contrasting montage portrays modern man's incursion into the Australian wild by elegantly framing such scenes as windmills and the remote fences marking boundaries of sheep pastures. This splendid feast for the eyes and ears elegantly captures the essence and raw beauty of the outback. -- Robert J. McNamara
