All beautiful things come to an end. Unfortunately, this also applies to Crowded House. Neil Finn, the driving force behind the New Zealand band, has decided it is time to turn his creativity to other projects. And that's a shame, because since the band's foundation in 1984 we were spoiled with beautiful songs like Don't Dream It's Over and Into Temptation. Crowded House originated from the ruins
… of Split Enz, the band founded by Neil's brother Tim. He managed to build a fairly successful solo career (including the hit Listen To The Radio), but also regularly contributed to the Crowded House albums. Unfortunately, that is now a thing of the past. It is hoped that the brothers' new projects will produce equally beautiful music. Fortunately, we are not left empty-handed: Recurring Dream is the ultimate Crowded House album, with all the big hits and a bonus CD with 15 beautiful live tracks. It makes up for a lot, but not everything. Saying goodbye just hurts.more
