Corroboration, or Corroboration: A Journey Through the Musical Landscape of 21st Century Australia, is a 2001 compilation album by various artists which was released on the Festival Mushroom Records imprint, Sputnik.[1] It was the result of a project put together by Kurt Luthy. It brought together indigenous and non indigenous musicians and bands from various genres.[2] The majority of the songs were written for this compilation.[3] It reached No. 92 on ARIA Top 100 Albums chart.[4] In 2002 it received an ARIA Award nomination for Best World Music Album.[5]

Noel Mengel wrote in The Courier Mail that "it succeeds not just in the way it crosses genres and cultures but because of the quality of the music that results."[6] The Australian's Sandra Bridekirk gave it 4 stars calling it "the most unconventional snapshot of Australian music you could get – miles further down the track than predictable Oz rock samplers".[7] Peter Lalor of The Daily Telegraph also gave it 4 stars calling it "one of the more interesting "project" albums to have come from these shores."[8] In Michael Duffy's 4 star review in The Advertiser he states "this album is pleasing to the ear and an important step forward in the reconciliation process."[9] The Sunday Mail called it "a work of art" saying it "mixes culture with music, heart with soul, black with white, sweet with sour."[10]

On 12 October 2001 SBS Television broadcast an episode of ICAM, "Corroboration", which detailed "the coming together of Indigenous and non-indigenous musicians to record the new Festival Mushroom Records Corroboration CD."[11] The episode was also issued as a music video of the same name, produced by Karla Grant and Darren Dale.[11]
