Crombie was almost entirely responsible for the band's visual imagery, from their distinctive costumes and stage sets to their record covers and videos, while Rayner took charge of the band's sound, working closely with producers on each of their albums.
Crombie, meanwhile, is piecing together costumes and set designs with wife Sally in their Burwood home, an old converted school on the edge of Wattle Park.
Noel's role in the band was very real, and so important to the visual impact that the band had.

 Split Enz - Gig Reviews - Music - Entertainment - smh.com.au
It was on that night in Melbourne when the seminal New Zealand band were recognised for past glories that the seed was planted for the next stage of their haphazard career: a reformation tour that will unfold across Australia this month.
The line-up touring Australia - Tim on vocals, Neil on guitar and vocals, Eddie Rayner on keyboards, Noel Crombie on percussion, Nigel Griggs on bass and Malcolm Green on drums - is the one that coalesced around the release of True Colours in 1980, the band's commercial breakthrough that came eight years after forming.
Crombie's eye for design, which took in the group's stage costumes, videos and album covers, was one of the elements that made them a distinctive presence in the musical landscape.

 Split Enz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The costumes were designed by Noel Crombie, who also designed most of the group's other visual material, such as stage sets, posters, stickers and album covers, as well as directing many of the band's music videos.
Like Rayner, Noel was a crucial addition to the band, and in many ways he became the 'heart and soul' of Split Enz.
Crombie's lugubrious stage presence endeared him to audiences and his trademark spoon solos became a favourite feature of Enz shows.

 Split Enz - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: Best known for their early-'80s new wave pop hits, particularly "I Got You," Split Enz -- after surviving a dizzying array of image and personnel changes and a full decade without any recognition outside of their homeland -- became the first New Zealand band to achieve worldwide success.
The album failed to match the success of True Colours, but it did manage two hit singles, "One Step Ahead" and "History Never Repeats." On their subsequent North American tour, Split Enz were billed equally with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, which stands as a testament to the band's growing popularity.
In 2005 the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the True Colours-era lineup reunited again for a brief but highly successful Australian tour in 2006.

The result of the reunion was the album Conflicting Emotions, an album which many say was the beginning of the end for the Enz.
Before the tour it was decided that Noel Crombie would go back on percussion (something that he says he enjoyed moreso than drumming), & the band would find a new drummer.

 The Sound of Trees, by Schell Fenster
I had high hopes for this one, as three of the members (Judd, Crombie and Griggs) were founder members of Split Enz, which I always thought was an interesting, enjoyable band.
While listening, my thought was, “Wow, they really have that 'eighties sound' down cold.” (Turns out the album was recorded in 1989.) But the songs also lack much in the way of melody, catchiness or personality.
I hope the answer is something cool and interesting, not just the names of their agents or a street intersection or something....

After having loitered in "fairly good" territory for some time, the album finally makes its leap forward to better things with "Lost For Worlds", featuring the quirky rhythmic shifts mentioned in the intro.
For that matter, the entire song seems premised in an ethos of quirkiness -- from the New Wave vocals, to the dominant-at-times keyboards, and even to Crombie's drum/percussion work.
This is another of TF's less-than-entirely- clever moments, promoting a general protest ethos about the state of global affairs, worrying about the legacy for the children, etc. The premise aside, this number does have its advantages -- not the least of which is the drum line offered by Crombie...
