"THIS IS A GERMAN IMPORT LP BY THE AUSTRALIAN "NEW AGE" GROUP; "GONDWANALAND". THE LPs TITLE IS: "TERRA INCOGNITA", & IT WAS THEIR 2ND LP! THIS WAS A RE-ISSUE THAT CAME OUT IN GERMANY IN 1988 & HAS A DIFFERENT COVER THAN THE ORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN ONE. THIS GROUP FEATURES (2) DIDGERIDU PLAYERS, PLUS SYNTHESIZERS, GUITAR & DRUMS. THE LEAD ARTIST; CHARLIE McMAHON WAS A MASTER OF THE DIDGERIDU, WAS CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER IN A BARROOM BRAWL & THAT ENDED THE GROUP AFTER ONLY FOUR LPS! NONE OF THEM WERE EVER ISSUED IN THE USA, JUST IN AUSTRALIA & RE-ISSUED IN GERMANY LATER. THE COVER IS THIN & SLIGHTLY BENT ALONG THE BOTTOM & ON THE BACK, BUT THE DISC IS STILL IN N.MINT SHAPE, WITH JUST A FEW IMBEDDED DIRT SPECS THAT DON'T AFFECT THE PLAY MUCH? THIS LP IS ON GERMAN W/B LABEL#255411. SHIPPING IS "FREE" IN THE USA. ***NOTE: THEIR MUSIC HAS BEEN USED ON LOTS OF PBS DOCUMENTARIES ON THE AUSTRALIAN "OUTBACK" & IS EXCELLENT! "

Charles McMahon
Biography

   Charles MacMahon is the didjeridoo player for Gondwanaland, an
   Australian band that combines didj, drums and synth. Besides being
   very talented, he is best known for almost being Australia's first
   terrorist. He grew up on a station in the Outback, and being very
   angry at the way the aboriginals were treated, put together a large
   pipe bomb to detonate at some government office. The bomb detonated as
   he was building it, costing him his arm. He plays with a harness to
   hold his didj. He makes didjs out of PVC pipe (he may have originated
   this practice) with sliding parts. These are light enough for him to
   manage with his prosthetic arm, which he uses to slide the pieces.
