'Much has been made of the search for the lost chord. But chords are sophisticated structures. Earth Dances documents Andrew Ford's intrepid quest for the lost thud, and the lost scream ...Music can't survive without primitivism. It is the bushfire clearing overgrown and cluttered musical landscapes, paring them to essentials. This results in fresh structures, materials and practices that lead us to the place we belong.' Brian Ritchie, Violent Femmes, Mona Foma 'The perfect, knowledgeable, enthusiastic friend ...I couldn't put it down!' David Robertson
