 Split Enz, Crowded House and Finn Brothers: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
ENZSO was the brainchild of Eddie Rayner, always the musical virtuoso of Split Enz, who re-recorded some of the group’s catalogue with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the National Youth Choir.
While Rayner claims in the liner notes that some of the songs were “begging for an orchestral arrangement”, I’d still rather listen to the original versions in most cases; the synth bleeps of ‘Poor Boy’ are more interesting than the string backing on this record to my ears.
On the positive front, Rayner’s learned from the experience of the first album, and as a result the sequel has richer orchestration, with brass and woodwinds playing interesting lines rather than the piano and strings approach of the first record.

second solo album, Rayner began working on solo projects and production work for other artists, Crombie continued his side career as an artist and occasional video director, and Neil Finn and Paul Hester began working up new songs for their as yet un-named (and un-populated) post-Enz band.
Eddie Rayner would join Crowded House on tour only for the next three years; Noel Crombie designed sets for one of their videos, and Tim Finn even joined the group for the span of a single year before the band decided the house was too crowded with both Finn brothers as full-time residents.
Eddie Rayner has continued to produce and serve as a session keyboardist, and also arranged several Enz classics into orchestral numbers for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra; originally debuted in 1995, the ENZSO project was a combined TV event, concert tour and recording project, with Tim and Neil both on board.

Also, he assumes the voice of a personable, mostly omniscient, sometimes pedantic narrator who is eager to explain the origins of the terms he uses, such as "pitch-fl," "unbridled joy," and "nailing" as well as offering a running commentary on the development of his story as he is telling it.
This second novel, Dreadful Acts, begins one fateful night when Uncle Jack wakes Eddie up to show him that a driverless hearse (drawn by horses) is parked in their driveway.
Due to this encounter, Eddie meets and is enchanted by the "camel-faced" Daniella, kidnapped by escaped convicts with names like Bonecrusher, spends a night in jail, digs up part of a graveyard, and helps to solve a mystery.

 Frenzy (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dissatisfaction with the original mix of the album led to Eddie Rayner remixing the album in 1981 for the North American and British releases.
The sound of the original album apparently suffered from either bad tape stock used for the recording of the album, or misalignment of the tape machines used to record it - which limited what Eddie Rayner had to work with in the aforementioned 1981 Re-mix.
Subsequent developments in recording technology led to the re-mix of album track "Stuff and Nonsense" for the 1997 Best of Compilation "Spellbound", and an entire re-mix of the album by Eddie Rayner released in early 2006.

 Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Split Enz - Time And Tide
At this juncture, we reach the most obvious throwback to the progressive age on the entire album, as Eddie Rayner washes his way through "Pioneer".
And, of course, this prelude soon leads to "Six Months In A Leaky Boat", the [I apologize in advance] flagship piece of the Enz's catalogue, and the track most likely to be recognized by casual listeners today (though it never charted in America).
Driven by Tim's high-range vocals and Rayner's synth treatments, this is possibly the most successful track on the album.
