Mushroom Records released the demo as it was as Yothu Yindi's first album, Homeland Movement.
Mandawuy's family has a long and proud tradition in the struggle for aboriginal land rights and at the beginning of the 1990s there was political talk of the possibility of a symbolic treaty between fl and white Australians.
Initially, Mandawuy used his music profile to further the cause of his "other" job, as headmaster of a culturally mixed school in Arnham Land, but he ended up being forced to apply for leave to concentrate on his music career.

The album "Khaled" - recorded partly in Brussels with the aid of producer Michael Brook, partly in Los Angeles with the legendary Don Was - would generate a whole string of hits for the Rai star including the best-selling "Didi".

With the Raï movement beginning to lose some of its initial momentum and rumours circulating that Khaled’s voice was no longer as powerful as it once was, the singer decided it was time to make a comeback.

Mushroom Records either thought the tape was so good it didn't need any more work or decided it was good enough for aboriginal music, and released the demo as it was, as Yothu Yindi's first album, 'Homeland Movement'.
The other side of the album concentrated on traditionally based songs like 'Djapana' (Sunset Dreaming), written by former teacher Mandawuy Yunupingu.
The version of 'Treaty' which became a dancefloor sensation, took the band into the sales charts, and raised their profile internationally, turned the tables on the song's original intention - favouring the musical message over the political one.

Originating in the Yolngu Aboriginal homelands on the northeast coast of the Australian territory, Yothu Yindi formed in 1986 just two years before the controversial Australian bicentennial celebration.

 Yothu Yindi - the band   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Yolngu members of Yothu Yindi live in the tribal homelands of north-east Arnhem Land 600 kilometres east of the Northern Territory capital of Darwin.
A move pioneered in north-east Arnhem Land, the homeland movement has seen Aboriginal people returning to their traditional lands and lifestyles- relying less on the trappings of Western society and more on traditional activities such as hunting, fishing and cultural and ceremonial education.
Consequently, the birth of the Aboriginal land rights movement can be directly traced to the actions of the fathers of two of Yothu Yindi's founding members, Mandawuy Yunupingu and Witiyana Marika.

 Neil Young Clobbers the Thought Police - Center for Media and Democracy
This rousing, upbeat song is backed by a hundred voice choir, as is much of the album, and is filled with audio clips of President Bush's 'flip flops' and false and misleading claims, snipped from news conferences and speeches.
The entire album is a pro-American, pro-family, pro-troops challenge to citizens in the United States, Neil's adopted homeland, to get it together and make change happen.
The challenge is to amp it up and take the movements for peace and justice to a new level, riding again the wave of unity and love of country that went up in toxic smoke after Bush and Cheney hijacked post-9/11 sentiment and flew America into the lies, damned lies and mess of Iraq.

They are predominantly sung in English, although the themes are Yolngu, such as in the song 'Homeland Movement' which deals with Yolngu people returning to ancestral areas from settlements to which they had been forcibly moved.
On Homeland Movement the integration of the two main music influences is limited, and somewhat stilted at times, but indicates future directions.
Throughout the album and Website packaging there is consistent emphasis on the interconnections between land, music, art and Yolngu, and the possibility of 'both ways' co- operation between Yolngu and Balanda (Europeans).

 LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Tarentel: We Move Through Weather
We Move through Weather is the most recent album on the Temporary Residence label by Tarentel, a San Francisco band known for playing tight, slowly developed, rhythmically driven epic-length instrumentals.
Where on previous releases Tarentel might anchor the rhythmic and thematic movement of a piece in a tightly-wound, interplaying guitar line, here we get heavy, off-kilter percussion that stumbles forward, as delirious drones and lost melodic elements drift in and out of surprisingly chaotic sound collages.
The album as a whole evokes everything from the uncaring unpredictability of natural disaster to a sense of post-homeland security spies-in-the-wires dread.

Her use of keyboard on this album generates moments of spaceman sounds similar to Radiohead or Flaming Lips, while her arrangements would make Zappa and Beethoven grin and nod their head in time, P-Funk style.

 Amazon.ca: Living With War: Music: Neil Young   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
But that's not what elevates this album: it's his pure, naked, visceral reaction to the Bush administration's foreign policy, building on a canon of outrage that he began with 1970's "Ohio," penned in the wake of the Kent State student deaths.
On this album, Neil Young makes his feelings about these issues painfully clear, he is clearly against the war, and his outspokenness on the subject should endear him to the left wing/anti-war movement everywhere.
If the album were acoustic and the songs written and played and arranged more along the lines of his most recent albums which are fantastic in everyway, then this album might be excellent but its only interesting and mildly exciting for my taste.

Defined as the mythic homeland of the Aztecs before they set off to found Tenochtitlán (present Mexico City), during the Chicano Movement Aztlán became synonymous with the United States southwest and Chicano nationalism.
Though Gonzalez’s poem speaks of the loss of the Southwest by Mexico, the image presents an optimistic view of Aztlán’s rebirth and reclamation by the Chicano Movement and is visually represented by the merger of the United Farm Worker union flag into the rising sun over a rural landscape.
