After all these times of listening to 'Capricornia', I still haven't =
heard any didgeridoo...=20
But now when you say it, maybe... I'll clean my ears till next time! :-)

Whatever it is, it's a nice sound.

         Hey all. There's this troublesome little rumble in the =
background of Luritja Way. I've wondered if it was something Bones is =
running through - kind of a wah-ish drone in the bass line, most =
noticable during the turnaround bits between verses. Then it struck me =
"could it be a Didgideroo?"

    Bruce-----  As Luritja Way quickly became my favorite Oils song when =
the CD came out, I played the song over and over.  The song must have =
been on repeat mode in my car stereo for weeks.  It wasn't until =
listening to it for the 200th+ time (and I thought I'd listened to it =
carefully and had picked out most of the song) when I heard the faint =
didgeridoo.  It just was there, and I was amazed I hadn't heard it =
earlier.  It's just after Peter sings 'it's better than drinking alone' =
and then does his little wail.... and ends just before Bones starts =
singing "O Guiding Light'.  It's like 2:24 - 2:30 in the song.   But =
it's definitely a didge, although the album liner notes do not mention a =
thing about the didgeridoo or who is playing it.  Maybe it's a synth or =
a sample...  I don't know.   But it blends in real nicely there.... I =
like how subtle it is. =20
