Blood - When Midnight Oil toured the US in support of Diesel And Dust
in 1988 they brought along the great Aboriginal band Yothu Yindi. So

In
2010 the authors of the book 100 Best Australian Albums ranked Diesel
and Dust No. 1. In 2021 it was listed at No. 5 in Rolling Stone
Australia's "200 Greatest Albums of All Time."
The
sound at the start of the song Bullroarer is made by a bullroarer,
which is a piece of wood attached to a length of cord and whirled
around in the air, making a sound capable of traveling long
distances..According to some anthropologists it is one of the
earliest artifacts that can be classified as a musical instrument,
having been used by many different cultures over nearly 20,000 years.
