about

By the 1850’s only the last vestiges of the Aboriginal people who populated the Adelaide Hills were left. At the time Michael O'Loghlen and his family left Port Adelaide to travel to Kapunda in 1854, the Peramangk people, who lived on the land over which he travelled, had almost ceased to exist. Wracked by white man's diseases, they were reduced to small camps dotted about the Adelaide Hills working as shepherds and labourers. Their way of life had been destroyed forever. I now live in Peramangk country.

lyrics

Time there was when I felt free so wonderful to be
Sounds and songs and signs lived here, so wonderful - so free
Time there was when I held dreams so wonderful to see
Tales of ancient lands so real so wonderful to me

Ngadjuri language:
Alawara bunga bera
gadla be:la mutanga
wadla, budna
wala, bilda
nakuka’idla wadli
bungari janduwitjanu
bungari juru indata

English Translation:
Evening shadow moon
fire embers dance
wallaby, goanna
bustard, opossum
look at the camp
tribal country sunrise
tribal country blackfellows dead

Time there was when I lived here so wonderful - so free

Enter the Ghost of Bandcamp Friday Past: "Did thou not promise to dig deeper into this discography then?" Answers: "Er, yeah, but I couldn't decide where to start..." Enter the Ghost Bandcamp Friday Present: "So thou shalt buy the whole discography!" And so I did :-) HIgh quality RPI, 4 album spread over 3 decades. Beginning with very classic Genesis influenced neo prog and later on modernizing their sound, not afraid of edgier stuff. This is their 4th album from 2020. Some say their best yet Carsten Pieper
