ForENZics will be releasing an album according to Eddie.

Hi all, my first post here. I've been reading this subject with great interest. I love making rarities compilations for my favourite artists and recently decided to re-research Tim's rarities and update my compilation discs. Your information has been of great help. Thank you. I guess we all approach these things a little differently, my criteria is usually just to have everything where the artists vocals are prominent, and thats how I've been collating my Tim Finn discs. In doing so I have...

Curious about "Quasimodo's Dream"; the other versions on youtube indicate it was a hit for the Reels. Did Tim write it? If not, odd that Tim would be doing a cover on a show where the host calls him one of the best songwriters around. Also, has anyone heard any buzz about when Forenzics may be coming out? And David, I agree that more of Tim's "projects" deserve more wide release. Not everyone can see a stage show in Australia. And the sound quality of Fiery Maze left a lot to be desired.

The sound quality is very bad; the seat-of-your-pants energy and performance makes up for it in my opinion. Id be happy with White Cloud Black Shadow of similar quality. Ladies In Black seems more a traditional musical than Fiery Maze or White Cloud... so not burning as badly for it. Star Navigator, though, would be nice.

I’m sure I bought Mary of the South Seas on iTunes years ago? But I can now only see two cover versions... Maybe I’m thinking of The Land Torments the Sea, but I don’t see that either.

Ok, here's my latest effort. I've corrected mistakes I had made and included some things I had overlooked before. I also added "Quasimodo's Dream" (even though it's unreleased, I have a few other unreleased but available curios here, as well.) STill not really complete: there are some Split Enz live rarities and demos that are on YouTube that I haven't bothered to get into here. So still a work in progress, but very close to definitive, in my opinion. I have not included songs that Tim...

Hi @Lance LaSalle . Tim had nothing to do with 'Quasimodo's Dream' (ie writing credits). I've got The Reels album and the lyrics were all written by the lead singer David Mason. David Mason was also interviewed back in an Australian music documentary about the song and he admitted the lyrics were absolutely nonsense!! It was just nice background sounds with the synthesizer, which was all the thing back in 1981.

I know it is a Reels cover; Ive included it for the same reason as Ive included “The Lonely One” and “I Shall Be Released”.

Hi. I'm a newbie to the Split Enz Crowded House family and I was curious if there are any collections of their improvs and covers that they've done over the years? Also I hear the Ventura show from 1991 is really great. Would anyone know where I can find that?

Excellent list. Are there any fan made compilations that include the 12" mixes B sides and Coco cola Kid soundtrack songs?

There was a Crowded House fan club cd called Homebrew that was made up of live covers, improvs and live rarities.

Definitely. That is pretty much the only way to hear them.

I didn't know that. Thank you. Now to see if I can track one down.

Here's my latest update. A few corrections due to new info and a couple of additions at the end. 1975 Lovey Dovey (live, released on Oddz and Enz) Matinee Idyll (live, released on Oddz and Enz) Walking Down the Road (live, released on Oddz and Enz) Under the Wheel (live, released on Oddz and Enz) True Colours (Lets Rock) (live, released on Oddz and Enz) Nightmare Stampede (live, released on Oddz and Enz) 1977 Outa Mongolia - (demo, releaesd on he Nineez, neilfinn.com) Horse to Water (demo,...

Very good track list, almost matches mine exactly, great songs!!!

I always loved Dr. Livingston and the slew of Woodface and TA outtakes. Combined with the post TA tour singles and tracks worked on, I came up with two versions of the same 5th album. Kind of in the spirit of how 'Walking On The Spot' was a Mullanes track that finally made it on to TA. This even has Finn and Neil Solo output on it. The first 15 track album would've been released around early 1996, but suppose it was rejected by the record company and included some tracks he would have used...
