Hinewehi (Hine) Mohi (ex-Moana and the Moa Hunters) and Jaz Coleman (ex-Killing Joke - now Auckland resident) have struck gold with this unique blend of Maori culture meeting the modern world. Excitingly new yet familiar at the same time, Oceania stirs a new mix of sonic possibilities. Different, emotional and successful.
The follow-up to the very popular 1999 debut (simply titled 'Oceania'), Oceania again consists of singer Hinewehi Mohi and composer Jaz Coleman (once of Killing Joke), with Irish producer Rory Carline added for this project. Again linking the Maori language and spirituality with lush contemporary rhythms, Oceania retain their beautiful and unique sound which made the first album so appealing. If you have enjoyed music from the likes of Enya, Enigma and Deep Forest, or the original Oceania CD, don't hestitate you will be richly rewarded.
