It was two songs from this album that made me a Split Enz fan: "I Hope I Never" and "I Got You." I had heard "I Got You" for years, but I never connected it with Neil Finn.

"True Colours" is their most solid effort, with Tim and Neil Finn's songwriting finding a collective balance.

 SPLIT ENZ / TRUE COLOURS: REMASTERED - HMV Australia - Top Dog for Music CDs, CD Singles, Videos and DVDs
In the case of Split Enz the transition occurred when a very young Neil Finn, baby brother of group founder Tim Finn, arrived with his sharp, Beatlesesque style of pop writing.
This was one of the fastest selling successes in Australian recording history with True Colours, with a variety of different coloured covers, selling over 100,000 copies (double platinum) in less than three months and "I Got You" not only going gold but staying in the Australian singles charts for six months.
The key to their success at the time was that, rare for any group around the world, they had made the transition from art rock to new wave and achieved a previously unknown level of success.

Split Enz: Neil Finn (vocals, guitar); Eddie Rayner (vocals, keyboards); Tim Finn (vocals); Nigel Griggs (bass guitar); Malcolm Green (drums); Noel Crombie (percussion).
Split Enz were New Zealand's homegrown heroes--art-rockers who reveled in theatricality, face-paint, strange outfits, and quirky prog-pop numbers.
They "split NZ" for Australia in the late '70s, and began to focus on material that was more accessible, yet had a new-wave spikiness that retained their earlier sense of daring.

 Amazon.co.uk: The Best of Split Enz: Music: Split Enz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Having previously been a Crowded House fan, this was the record that introduced me to Split Enz and resulted in me buying their entire back catalogue.
One of many Enz 'best ofs', this CD presents the tracks in chronological order and gives you a really good feel of the change in sound over the years as Tim Finn's avant garde arty wierdness was eventually overpowered (at least in the Singles stakes) by Neil Finn's classic pop tunesmithery.
For the full experience, which must be seen to be believed, get the Split Enz DVD, or even better see them live on the next of their sporadic reunions.

Split Enz are probably the most underrated band, basically because they never quite "hit it big" in America.
Split Enz don't sound like Weird Al and their music transcends the "New Wave" moniker.
It was not until the early nineties and years of becoming a bona fide CH fanatic, by this time Tim had come and left the band, a near Split Enz reunion.

 Review of Split Enz's "True Colours"
True Colours (1980) is the sixth album from the legendary New Zealand group Split Enz.
Despite this, though, Split Enz are definitely not the type of band that appeals to everyone.

The band and promoter Michael Gudinski — who signed the band to Mushroom records in the mid 1970s — will announce details of the tour at Prahran's Ormond Hall, where the band played its career defining gig when the hall was known as the Reefer Cabaret Club.
Despite Enz not having toured in more than a decade, fans are fanatical about the eccentric band, which has been an influence on international groups such as Pearl Jam.

What distinguishes the Enz from their peers is the choice of synthesizer over guitar as the lead instrument and a penchant for thoughtful pop or the occasional ballad.
That and a genuine appreciation for their New Zealand roots make Split Enz a unique treat for pop fans, and True Colours an album that can hold its own with anything from the ‘80s.
Of interest to collectors, the album cover was issued in several different color variations and featured laser-etched vinyl as a preventive to counterfeiting (although its visual appeal was likely a factor as well).
