The best song on this album is Albert of India, IMO. I love the entire album, the music is completely ORIGINAL and fantastic. It's a shame that no one really compares to the "Enz".
Heavy on the synths at first, but it keeps building, then Neil plays a white-hot guitar solo and the whole thing lurches to a crazed finish. I love this song. And the album is a true classic.
I just bought this CD the other day for about $10 and I am thrilled!!! Back when it came out....I went to a sleep-over party and I slept with the album cover because I loved Split Enz so much. I must admit...much harder sleeping with a CD now...lol!!!
There was a good handful of videos that did not make it to the DVD collection. WHY!?!?!?
Can anybody list all the clips that are missing? I'm curious what else is out there. I've just discovered Split Enz over the last year, and I cannot get enough!
I know, they have them all, I don't know why they couldn't've put them all on.
They skipped Never Ceases to Amaze me, Maybe, Crosswords, so probably heaps more. Not to mention they didn't use the original audio for the Late Last Night clip. Just because they HAD to have remastered sound right?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I saw the vids, I am now sorry I considered myself a fan. No, I'm not a Republican, Hank Hill is a character that I consider 'cool'. So, in closing, it is no wonder the band met its demise.
..also for duderood...mal is alive and well living in sydney...he spent some time back in uk,,I had the pleasure of working with him between 2002 and 2005with the Hippos..(sydney blues outfit fronted by John Power) you can see us do a cameo in a local Bmovie "the Crop"
...dj is the manager of enz at the time,,Nathan Brenner..also the guy who took Men At Work to america as support on the enz tour(..typically i was mug enough to tell him not to ..ahhh there a good pub band but not many songs...just shoot me
lastly....I see this is around the time Nigel took up full time drums from green...they worked so good together...the drum beats of True Colours...just magic..and Green drummed for Wiata as well...Just left young and in a hurry ..wonder why??...and I wonder how he is now???Great drummer..Not that Nigel isn't the best!!!I mean Time and Tide!!! My favorite of all!!!
I think you mean Noel. According to "Stranger than Fiction," a story of the band written by former Enz bassist Mike Chunn, Mal was kicked out of the band because he was letting his extracurricular activities (in this case, writing and creating songs in hope of making it big as a solo artist) hamper Split Enz' performance.
and the punks were getting tired of the hating england and life so to say...and the Enz ..so talented and positive..and ..hehe dance music!!! Just love the hypocrisy of this song!!!!Always a class act!!!
this is a brilliant song, its one which gets better on repeated listens.....but it's got catchy riffs and a great tune and great musicianship....it's great!!! I also think this should've been on their dvd, it looks more than fine for a 1981 video to me... cheers for the upload!!
Have to agree with you misterpunk. This is my all time favourite Split Enz song, and that is a big call. Oddly enough, my second favourite song of theirs is "I Walk Away" from 1984. Then "Dirty Creature" in third! I had an LP called "1981..Rocks On" as a kid and "I Don't Wanna Dance" is on there and I used to play it continually.
One of their best ... no doubt ! ... Wayne
