This is a great thing, with Garrett they would still be Midnight Oil. Sadly, I thought the Oils had reached their zenith a long time ago as far as writing (Diesel & Dust), although they still put on a fantastic show as we saw at the Brush Fire benefit last year. It will be nice to focus on the music and leave behind the social and political issues that were such a big part of Midnight Oil's presentation.

I think I really liked all of Midnight Oils album immensely except Redneck Wonderland (which has some good cuts on it) and the first two (they don't sound as crisp to me but once again had some good cuts on them). |

Thanks for all the news posts for a group that I suspect as being one of the great Break-out surf bands this year,and hopefully for years to come. I too can't wait to hear the debut new album. —Reverb, It's A Way Of Life! |

I just ordered a CD from Bombora after reading Moginie's track-by-track description. This is the best thing since Vegemite. |
