The Falls Festival is synonymous with the passing of each year and the two-day event, now a national tradition, has been in existence for more than a decade. The Falls, a 38 track compilation, is the best possible celebration of the music, both local and international, that has turned Lorne, Victoria into an unlikely Mecca of live performance. The Falls is a fitting retrospective journey through highlights of the last 11 years mixed with exclusive tracks and the best tunes of impressive newcomers. The mix of home-grown talent and overseas visitors proves the worth of our local product; especially when you see 1200 techniques on the same disk as Spearhead, The Living End and Pennywise, Jet and The Hives, John Butler Trio and G Love & Special Sauce, The Tea Party and Butterfly Effect. There's no need to be concerned about the retrospective vibe of The Falls; you'll also find exclusive tracks from Xavier Rudd, Brad, G Love & Special Sauce and Ozomatli to add a taste of the new. The other consolation is the fact that the 'oldies' are definitely 'goodies' with the majority of tracks being well-known releases from 2003. Artwork by renowned designer Ben Brown adds the final winning touch to a fitting look back at a festival that has convinced so many Australians to spend their New Years Eves in the relative wilderness of Lorne.
