Full review

As you may have guessed by now, i am a very big fan of Neil Finn, and have been recently searching back through time, to find some of his rare cd's. It seems a few weeks back, i made a breakthrough when i found this cd.

From what i gathered from the "Interview with Neil Finn", which is the second cd, this album was made up, partially of B sides, and with songs that Didnt quite make albums like "woodface", and "Together Alone". These were all songs that Neil Finn felt have changed with the passage of time.

Having listened through the cd a few times, and gone over the interview cd, it seems there are a few personal songs from Neil Finn on this cd. Songs like "I love you Dawn", which was written for his wife, and "Lester", written shortly after an incident which envolved his dog. Quality music again, with the help of the exceptionally talented Mark Hart, bringing Keyboards, Guitars, and Harmony to the band.

I did find that the cd was great value for money. Although im not sure how much the cd is in most stores, i managed to pick up the cd for £9.99, this included the interview cd, which is great!!!

I would recommend this cd to any potential buyer. It is a must have for all Neil Finn, and Crowded House fans. The Track listing, runs as follows:

1. I am in love
2. Sacred Cow
3. You Can touch
4. Help is coming
5. I love you dawn
6. Dr Livingstone
7. My telly gone bung
8. Private Universe
9. Lester
10. Anyone can tell
11. Recurring Dream
12. Left Hand
13. Time Immemorial
