Recurring Dream (The Very Best Of Crowded House)

When Crowded House said goodbye to the world from the Sydney Opera House in November 1996, 120,000 people turned up to sing along, cry, and wave goodbye to the band that for many produced some the most inspiring music they'd ever heard.
Made up of four songs from each of the Crowded House releases plus three additional tracks, RECURRING DREAM is an essential primer for newcomers. The strength of the songwriting, the beauty of the harmonies, the intelligence of the lyrics--all Crowded House givens by this point--are evident on song after song. Old favourites "Don't Dream It's Over", "Better Be Home Soon", and "I Feel Possessed" demonstrate that Neil Finn wrote a great song right from the offing. After working with producer Mitchell Froom for seven years, Crowded House changed direction and hired former Killing Joke member Youth, a move that brought about more of a world-music flavour. The swirling "Pineapple Head", haunting "Private Universe", and "Distant Sun", the group's last single, are three of the beneficiaries of this later partnership. RECURRING DREAM is a must-buy for anyone who ever loved a great pop song.|
