Not quite a comprehensive split enz best of cd. You need to add a few more of their gems of tracks for it to be so. i.e. nobody takes me seriously, and one of my favourites, the woman who loves me. Great band. i was lucky to see them perform live in portsmouth in the seventies.

A Nice Collection Of New Wave From Split Enz!
18 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
New Zealanders, Split Enz scored big in the U.S. in 1980 with it's hit "I Got You". The core of Split Enz were the talented brothers Neil and Tim Finn. Neil's guitar playing and Tim's vocals made up the Split Enz melodic pop rock that made them popular in the new wave circuit. This cd includes some brilliant songs such as "History Never Repeats", "Six Months In A Leaky Boat", "I Got You", "One Step Ahead" and the funky "Dirty Creature" to name a few. Split Enz were also known for their outragious hairstyles as well as clownish uniforms that definately fit the "new wave" mold. Although Split Enz no longer exist, this cd represents the best of their hits. Younger brother Neil Finn formed Crowded House in the late 80's and had a string of successful hits.

Is Neil Finn the greatest living songwriter?!
21 July 2002
Format:Audio CD
Is it just me, or has Neil Finn written more catchy, moving songs than anyone else? True, Paul had John, but they often wrote some of their greatest moments separately. When I first got this compilation in the late 80's, I was only familiar with "I Got You," but many songs on this CD soon surpassed that. "Message to My Girl" has to be one of the most moving songs ever, with "I Hope I Never" and "One Step Ahead" being right behind. Combine those with the buoyant (no pun intended) "Six Months.." and "Hard Act to Follow" and you've got pop nirvana!! A wise investment!!!

A greatest hits compilation from under a rock
3 Aug 1999
Format:Audio CD
For those bereft fans of Crowded House who start checking out Neil Finn's back catalogue, and who seek only the later, more accessible songs from the clever art-rock team that was Split Enz. Neil has at times appeared reluctant to perform 'I got you' live; but here it has pride of place, in all its rhyming glory! This is a hits compilation (well, they were hits down here) rather than a true cross-section of the act's material like the double CD 'Spellbound'. The melodic electronic sounds betray the fact that almost all the songs come from three albums produced in the early eighties. From an act known for their inventiveness, and much recorded live (look out for the excellent double CD 'The Living Enz' and the not-so-good 'Anniversary') these were the songs that got airplay. Notable for its absence is 'My Mistake', a 1978 collaboration of front-man Tim Finn (Neil's older brother) and maestro Eddie Rayner (who toured with Crowded House in '87). My favorite is the title track, with what what we now know as a typical Neil moment: 'Deep in the night it's all so clear/I lie awake with great ideas/Lurking about in no-man's land/I think at last I understand'
