2009 two CD release from this project led by Neil Finn and featuring members of Radiohead, The Smiths, Wilco and others. Seven years ago, Neil Finn and friends first got together to perform some live shows and release the resulting live album. In December 08/January 09, Neil did it again, only this time bigger and better! He assembled a group of his friends and fellow artists in Auckland, New Zealand to record a brand new album of all new and original material. The cast list this time includes Neil, Sharon and Liam Finn, Bic Runga, KT Tunstall, Johnny Marr, Jeff Tweedy and Glenn Kotche (of Wilco), Ed O`Brien and Phil Selway (of Radiohead), Lisa Germano and if that does not bait ya to check out and listen below, you most certainly not a Neil Finn fan.

The result is a lot of fun, although possibly not quite as much fun as the musicians themselves appear to be having. Rare is the double album that really justifies its length, and at times this collection of 24 tracks sounds like it has been expanded so that none of the participants felt left out. I am not sure if anyone but the players themselves will get a great deal from a percussion instrumental featuring three drummers, but there is too much talent in the studio for things to go far astray, especially with the likes of O�Brien and Marr lifting even the most pedestrian of songs with flashes of guitar genius.
What is odd is how much it sounds like a Crowded House record. Finn only contributes four lead vocals and has as many writing credits but his oeuvre and personality imbues the proceedings, so that songs are driven by lots of gorgeous chord sequences and an ever-so-slightly bittersweet melodiousness.
His and Wilco mailman Jeff Tweedy�s contributions are predictably touching and clever, but who knew Phil Selway was a closet Nick Drake, plucking soulfully away on his acoustic guitar?
If you are an admirer of classic, melodic, lyrically poetic, slightly left field post-Beatles songwriting, then there is at least an album�s worth of real gems to be uncovered here." - The Telegraph UK
