V/A: True Colours, New Colours
Various Artists: True Colours, New Colours Warners Of all the cruel jokes in the world, tribute albums tend to be a specially crafted insult. But this one, this is different. This one is brazen as all fuck. Warner Music decided to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Split Enz’ dynamic and dynamite True Colours – our […]Archive

Noel Crombie, My Voice Keeps Changing On Me [Single] (1983) I wonder if maybe Noel Crombie is the most underrated/under-valued member of Split Enz. By virtue of his role, or various roles, he helped them achieve such weirdness and within that or around that the stagecraft. You could argue that by costuming the band he […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 105
Split Enz, Waiata (1981) I like this album – it’s always been one of my go-to Split Enz records – obviously the big hit, the shining gem of a single is One Step Ahead (and I have the 45 of that) but this was my second favourite from the ‘silver’ box-set of CDs (when I […]Archive

The Swingers, It Ain’t What You Dance, It’s The Way You Dance It [Single] (1981) I remember it being such a revelation to find out that the Swingers did more than just Counting The Beat. By which I mean simply that I was young when that was a hit – I loved that song, and still do – but it was about finding the […]Archive

Split Enz, Frenzy (1979) I’m so into the Split Enz catalogue – the need to collect it all, that some of the albums I have several copies of, others I’m still hoping to collect – I won’t go about trying to get all the different pressings/editions – I’m not like that – but I don’t mind buying another copy […]Archive
