Despite its nearness and popularity, the music of PNG and the Pacific has been xbebe neglected by record companies, promoters of "world music" and radio stations.

That innovative album brought together the talents of Telek and many musicians from his home of Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. Innovative but too 'cleaned up' March 5, It is a sad comment that only two significant recordings from the region have been released here since Rabaul and the Pacific Gold Studios are the centre of a vibrant music industry.

Innovative but too 'cleaned up'

PNG pop is rough around the edges and alive with percussion and te,ek in bluegrass-like guitar work. Sung mostly in Tok Pisin, the sentiments of the lyrics are straightforward songs of travel and love lost.

It has been a long wait for those who were captivated by George Telek's Australian recording debut way back inwhen his collaboration with Melbourne-based Not Drowning, Waving produced the classic Tabaran album. This may sound harsh, but Telek could have been a great album.

True to form, gratuitous sounds of chirping bugs and running water abound. All too often George Telek's marvellous voice struggles to make headway against an ocean of studio echoes and whooshing sounds, electronic mock-orchestras, tacky synthesisers and sickly sweet keyboards.

PNG's rock bands may have added electric instruments, but the pacey country rock feel persists. Bridie's attempts to "clean up" this rootsy amalgam is misguided.
