Free Music Review: Another beauty from Finn
Hit: 5 Stars
There is something so classic about Tim Finn's sound. While he dabbles in new terrain time and again, he never strays to far from the sound that is exclusively all his own. A mix of the familiar and the far from ordinary, Imaginary Kingdom is a gorgeous effort. Like the reviewer before me, it took sometime to find the diamond in the rough. But after a few steady listens, there is no doubt this 2006 release has Finn back in perfect form. Love the sounds, the melodies. Can't wait to see him back on the road and back in the states. His live performance is even better than the disc. That is why the man is a legend. Free Music Review: A slow burn suprise
Hit: 4 Stars
I'd just come out of a fairly constant 3 week rotation of The Killers 'Sam's Town' in the car... I do a lot of driving. So it came as a bit of a gear shift to load up 'Imaginary Kingdom'.
I always have a soft spot for Tim Finn. Split Enz toured my university campus(La Trobe Bundoora Melbourne)in my first year there and I have never forgotten the experience. I've enjoyed a number of Tim's solo outings over the years particulalry the now impossibly hard to get 'Big Canoe' (great songs). So it was a delight to discover something new.
My first impressions were of mild disappointment. I guess the music felt a little 'old school', a little predictable, a little lacking in energy...but then by the third listen it began to unpack more in my head. I heard more, enjoyed more and found the inevitable 3am dancing music in my head as the clear sign of good work.
It's now into it's second week in the car. I'm not over it yet. I'm finding my way into the subtlety I missed the first couple of times through and I'm glad I made the investment.
