The Return - Out Now!
This is the band's latest recording which took place at Neerim South Recording Studios in West Gippsland, Victoria, Tribal Studios in Hallam Victoria and CHM Supersound Studios in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our mum Jennifer Andrew, Lenah (Dickson) Dawanikura, Ataia Andrew, Siemu Bate, Stephen Dawanikura, Uncle Pokali for their support, including our Victorian families and our dad Wallace Andrew, our sister Tina Andrew, Tim Worth and Kris Parker. To uncle Hetei Dickson for his generous gift of songs. Our thanks also to Dika Dai for his dedication to this album and to Douglas Lamo for his valued input.

This album is a mixture of reggae, light rock, ballads and Pacific style songs. Most of the songs are original compositions by Andrew family members, with one composition by Kamilo Kwaudi and two classic Milne Bay songs by Hetei Dickson.

To our loyal fans we hope you enjoy this album.
Our Hometown
Recorded: August 1988, NBC Studios, Port Moresby, P.N.G.
Released by: Kalang Cassettes
Engineered and Produced by: Geoffrey Kamish

After many requests from tourists and Samarai people we decided to do a recording of original compositions
and Samarai favourites in 1988. This recording took place at NBC studios in Port Moresby, with the assistance of sound engineer, Geoffrey Kamish. It was a great experience, made possible
with the support of family and friends.
We felt that this was just the beginning of a series of recordings.

Now, 16 years on, we have all evolved as musicians. The music has matured although its vibe and atmosphere still captures that melodious Milne Bay sound.
