Corroboration: A Journey Through The Musical Landscape Of 21st Century Australia is a captivating album that showcases the diverse and vibrant music scene of Australia. Featuring various artists, this album takes the listener on a journey through different genres and styles of music that have emerged from the country in the past two decades.

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Emma Donovan in "Dawn" to the upbeat and funky rhythms of "Stolen Rhythm" by The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra, Corroboration offers a unique and refreshing perspective on Australian music. The album also features tracks by well-known artists such as Paul Kelly and Archie Roach, as well as emerging talents like Electric Fields and Thelma Plum.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Treaty 18" by Yothu Yindi and Gavin Campbell, which is a reimagining of the iconic song "Treaty" that was originally released in 1991. The new version features the powerful vocals of Yirrmal and the electrifying guitar riffs of Campbell, making it a powerful and timely anthem for Indigenous rights.
