Always quite political singer Peter Garrett served in Australia&#8217;s government for a while.  I first saw the band play &#8220;Power And The Passion&#8221; on TV show Thike Of The Night in 1983 with singer Peter Garrett doing a spastic dance and someone playing the didgeridoo. Of course I threw in a VCR tape and recorded it but I threw away all my VCR tapes a while ago. Bought their record Red Sails In The Sunset in 1984 and four others after that as well as 2 or 3 cassettes but were all sold in 2013. I have 3 CDs, this is from 1998. The same line-up as their first release although bassist &#8220;Bones&#8221; Hillman left for ten years. First time listening to this one, there are some heavier riffs and some electronics not present in their earlier music. &#8220;Cemetery In My Mind&#8221; sounds like it&#8217;s from the 60&#8217;s while &#8220;Comfortable Place on The Couch&#8221; was another one I liked. The rest are OK, not crazy about this new style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midnight Oil are from Sydney, Australia and formed in the late 70&#8217;s.
