Music at the Borders provides a detailed history of one remarkable facet of their career, their long-term engagement with the music and musicians of Papua New Guinea. Individual chapters analyze the Melbourne music culture from which the band emerged; the musical style they developed; their work with musicians associated with PNG's Pacific Gold Studios; and the band's reunion for the 1996 Sing tour.
Music at the Borders is extensively illustrated and was researched in conjunction with members of the band and leading Papua New Guinea musicians.j 1
