Neil & Tim Finn

[CRAZY-HORSE]

TIM FINN "imaginary knigdom" 2006.

this one is Tim's best solo album to date and there are no 'fillers' on this one....unlike most of his solo output in which there always seem to be a couple on each album.
the album opens with the instantly catchy "could'nt be done"...the likes of which he hasnt achieved since his first solo record, and a very Split Enz type video to promote it...
other than this track there are no real catchy tunes in sight but instead, a solid group of piano based tracks that are atmospheric and have a warmth to them that he has so often lacked as a solo performer, the songs are sung with an honesty and conviction that also sadly are so often missing when he is without Neil to help out. luckily though this album does manage(like all his albums) to grow on the listener over time.
"still the song" is farily upbeat for this album also and along with the opening track/lead single and the"chronicles of narnia" theme song "winter light" are the standouts here. "outstanding moon" appears to be a song for his youngest son Richard from his second marraige.
although major chart success has always aluded him, Tim is still a great songwriter and a serious musician.

why is it that there are always very few links to Tim Finn's music???...its really quite frustrating!!!!
