Neil's first solo album(under his own name) in twelve years...
that doesnt mean he was silent during that period, he recorded two albums under the name 7-Worlds Collide, one under the name Pajama Club, went on tour with Paul Kelly on a number of occasions and released a live set with him...he also managed to score the soundtrack to The Hobbit movie(only one of them,not sure which one though)...
anyway, this album...
i sounds are very dreamy here, some similar in style and vein to Lennon's "#9 dream" type sound, others sound similar to the material he was doing in the latter years of Crowded House...
i note that there is very little on here that is 'catchy'...like the CH and Split Enz material...
i like it, but it just hasnt grown on me much over the last twleve months, but it is still okay for a guy who is almost forty years into his career
