"HUNTERS & COLLECTORS" "hunters and collectors" 1982,cd. #21 AU, #14 NZ
debut set from these Aussie music icons from the 80s and 90s...
touches of Krautrock/New Wave mixed with some 'funky' basslines. also similar to the stuff Talking Heads was releasing in the early 1980s(Remain Into Light) specifically!
only one single off this one, the seven minute epic "talking to a stranger" which peaked at #59 on the charts here
half the tracks are ok, the other half sound like crap and havent stood the test of time well at all...!
H&C were never a big singles or album seller but had a loyal band of followers on the live circuit..never got to see these guys live but have seen vocalist Mark Seymour a couple of years ago as support act for Elvis Costello...
I DISLIKE THIS ALBUM:
