About this album

Beyond is Ayers Rock’s boldest and most distinctive statement, pushing Australian rock into ambitious jazz-fusion territory. Released in 1976, it combines the group’s progressive instincts with improvisation, jazz harmonies and a more experimental edge, giving the album a restless, exploratory feel. Built around long-form pieces such as “Moondah (Beyond)” and “Song For Darwin”, the record shows why Ayers Rock became one of the country’s most interesting crossover bands of the mid-1970s. Its blend of rock drive, instrumental sophistication and open-ended composition helped define the group’s reputation beyond the local scene.
