I noticed Intriguer has gone from Spotify, in both standard and deluxe version. Doesn't seem to be on Amazon either, so I guess it's been taken off all digital platforms. All the other albums are still available, in both original and remastered version. Anyone any idea what might have happened to Intriguer?

Intriguer may be gone, but this is still here:
Which to me, is better than what ended up on Intriguer, and one of the best Neil Finn compositions/performances of all time.
It's still here in the Netherlands. Could be a recordcompany contract thing for some region.
Still on Google play in both versions mind you.

Has there ever been a thread to determine just how many significantly different versions of Twice If You're Lucky existed from 2008-10? Personally, I think THIS is the best incarnation of TIYL that I've heard:
IMO this is the most warmly emotive atmosphere they have captured since Together Alone, right up there with something like Private Universe. The random Kinks improvisation is a fun little bonus.
Love this version!
The album has disappeared from Spotify in Germany, too.
In Spain it's impossible to find it in Spotify or Tidal.
It’s not available in the Dutch version of the iTunes Store. And no longer available for streaming in Apple Music.
The licensing period expired for this album. Universal is investigating.
Interesting, Jaffa. Thanks for clearing up the mystery.
It’s back online on Spotify and iTunes in NZ. Anywhere else?
Back in the Dutch version of Apple Music.
Yeah, back on Spotify UK now too Although Turn It Around was still unavailable at first. Thanks for the update Jaffaman. I've always had a soft spot for this record and, whilst I bought it, Spotify's become indispensable when I'm on the move these days.
I did think it odd that it wasn't on Spotify. Great to see it back. Once I've given Jim Mogainie's recent EP 'Armies of the Heart' a listen, I'm going to listen to Intriguer again.

It looks like Intriguer has also disappeared from Tidal in the US..
How, um, intriguing.
Still gone from Amazon, Google and Spotify in the US. I broke down and bought the deluxe CD.
You're probably all aware by now, but Intriguer returned to streaming services a few weeks ago.

I noticed this the other day and smiled. Also Farewell To The World is available on streaming services in the U.S. for the first time (not sure what its status was in the rest of the world).
Management's been working on this a while. So good to see the Crowded House and Neil Finn albums streaming again in the US and Canada, although there are still some gaps. US doesn't have One Nil, for example, but Canada does.
