TIM FINN The Conversation (2008 Australian exclusive 13-track CD album - the word 'icon' does not seem to hold enough gravitas when looking for something to describe Tim Finn's standing in the Australian music community. Many artists withacatalogue as strong as his would be happy to rest on their laurels & just play endless 'Greatest Hits' shows, content with the contribution they have made. But then there are others who continue to chase the muse & who keep writing & recording, pushing the boundaries & striving for something new. Tim Finn is one of those artists. With 'The Conversation' Tim has delivered his most intimate album to date. Recorded at Roundhead studios in Auckland & featuring just vocals, guitar, piano & violin, the record was conceived to be almost like chamber music, where the individual instruments come together to create something much greater than the sum of it's parts. Co-produced by Ethan Allen & former Split Enz member Eddie Rayner, the 13 songs that make up 'The Conversation' are fragile, yet self assured, with Tim's distinctive vocals & lyrics being the primary focus)
