This is interesting... It looks like a series of EP’s will be released as they have 20 songs to get out there.
This appears to be in addition to the Forenzics songs.
2021 looks like being a bumper year for Finn songs!

Thanks for sharing the news Whysus. If not for your post, I wouldn't have had any clue this was happening. Similar to the Forenzics project, this hasn’t had any major media coverage which honestly makes me a little sad. I guess its a reminder of how out of touch I’ve become with regards to the music scene.
More importantly, I’m very excited to see Tim actively making new music; for a minute it looked like he was retired from Pop music, and would only pursue theatre music projects.
I liked the vibe of this song, the arrangements are interesting, and even the cheesy percussion gives it a nice future-retro vibe (although Latin music it is not. Trust me, I’m from South America).
No worries. Uncut have an article https://www.uncut.co.uk/news/h...il-manzanera-130320/
So I am wondering if it will get a bit more press in the coming days. It hasn't made any NZ media yet... but then again, there was basically nothing about Forenzics either, and I thought that warranted a bit of press here .
I agree, its really good to see Tim making albums again. I do wonder what this means for a Forenzics release though. I discovered this because Phil tweeted photos of him and Tim in the 70s and said "What we did in the ’70s. The look might have changed but the musical sparks continue to shine brightly! As will be revealed in a few days.". I got excited because I thought they were going to formally release the Forenzics album.
From what I can tell, the Forenzics songs were done before these new ones (the Walking video has been around for well over a year now). It seems a bit odd that these newer songs with half the 'band' are now getting a formal EP release, and there is still no word about a Forenzics release. I guess this is a Tim and Phil project while Forenzics is probably Eddie's baby and he is overseeing its release.
Time will tell I guess...
I like the positive vibes of the song, seems like a good collaboration going on. Would like to hear the Forenzics album though, because all the 5 songs already surfaced were great.

5 songs? Hmmm, I've only come across 4. Walking, Strange Stars, Premiere Fois, and Chances Are. What have I missed and where did you find it?

Thanks, Whysus
Great interview with Phil Manzanera where he talks, and gushes, about Tim Finn and stories about early Split Enz, Neil coming to him to work out how to play electric and more
Got this (Caught by the Heart) for Christmas! Listening now, not your usual Tim stuff, but I am enjoying it. Liner notes say 23 songs were written, refers to this as the "first" album, so hopefully more to come!
Phil Manzanera has confirmed that the second lot of songs will be released as an album in March. And Tim, Noel, Eddie and Manzanera have an album out in February as ForENZics.
Thanks for the confirmation, Jeremy. I knew about ForENZics; can't wait for that!
You're welcome. And some time in 2022 we get a Tim Finn/Andy White album too.
Finn/White IS news to me! Glad something good has come out of this lockdown, it has sparked a lot of creativity in the Finn brothers!
Had no idea of a new collaboration between Tim and the great Andy White. I just tried looking for any news or updates and couldn’t find anything online. What I did find was a great article that mentions a reissue of the Altitude album (following the release of the live recording last year). Couldn't find anything about the reissue either. I would live to get a copy of the reissue and will look out for AT (Andy Tim) next year; although ai really wish it were another ALT album (with Liam).
Hey guys … definitely worth checking out this chat that Peter had with Andy. https://youtu.be/u_0G43KVtAA
He covers off a few things. It sounds like the intention of the AT album was to be an ALT one but Liam didn’t get around to contributing (other than the cover art)! … At least I think that was the gist of it.
I've only just caught up with the Tim and Phil album, now the Forenzics singles available. I can't wait for the full album. Tim is in fine voice from the tracks I've heard so far.
Yep. Exciting times. ForENZics debut album in Feb. A second Finn/Manzanera album in March. And sometime this year the Tim/Andy album.
I downloaded this and am really enjoying it - something really different from Tim.
when is the second volume of tim and phil songs coming out

Manzanera said March. But possibly a bit later now to allow the ForENZics album (which only came out last month) a chance to shine and sell. I don't think it'll be long. And toward the end of the year there's also the Tim Finn/Andy White duo album.

It's kind of odd that the cd booklet refers you to the website Finnmanz.com but when I went there yesterday to see if there was any update on the second album, the first isn't even shown, only the four-song ep which had the same artwork as the full first cd. Looks like no one is keeping this website updated. Anyone heard any further news?
The tim finn andy white album is complete I asked Rose at andys fan club.
Altitude is doing well so she does jota know when the duo will release the album.

It's now June and not even a mention of a release date yet?

We're getting vinyl and CD rereleases of Altitude and Finn. The first ForENZics album is only a few months old. I'm sure we'll get Finn/Manz 2 and the Tim/Andy album soon enough. It's not like we're being deprived.

Told you we wouldn't have long to wait buddy 😉.

Awesome, thanks Jeremy!

All good. And after that we've still got the Andy/Tim CD some time later this year. It's a good time to be a Tim fan.
