Active compensatory factors: I went to JB Hi Fi on my birthday to find a record and this one leapt out at me from the under $30 bin (I like a bargain).

Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner are of course well-known names in Nu Zild, being members of Split Enz back in the day. This album reunited the pair along with Noel Crombie (percussion and drums) for a set of new songs (written by the pair), some of which contain echoes of old Split Enz songs. It's a fun activity, listening out for them.
It works pretty well, too. Although I'm not a huge fan of Tim's spoken vocal style that he's adopted of late. Best bits are the ones with those echoes, but Eddie's band - called Double Life, also provide some stellar backing on some songs.
Where do they all belong? A nice addition to the Tim Finn collection.
