The featured song from the new Forenzics album SHADES AND ECHOES is the delightful duet “Unlikely Friend” with guest vocalist Megan Washington joining Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner. ALBUM REVIEWS |
“ | “Tim’s voice has never sounded better or more emotive. His lyrics are personal, yet universal, with plenty of Enz eggs to keep hard-core fans happy for months. Meanwhile, Eddie Rayner’s production work is simply breath-taking…lush, inventive, dramatic and intimate. This is a rich, sumptuous album that will reveal new musical pleasures with each spin of the disc. Here’s hoping there’s more gold to be mined where these Shades and Echoes were found.” – Marty Duda (13th Floor NZ) |
Eddie was one of the few original members of Split Enz to go the distance. This included endless touring, recording, demoing, jamming and did we mention touring. When the band came to an end in 1984 Eddie turned his many skills to developing a variety of new initiatives including the new entity The Makers with singer songwriter Brian Baker. Rayner and Baker had collaborated on the soundtrack to the Australian feature film Ricky & Pete which sparked the new collaboration.
