This is the Golden Age!
This version of Capricornia is no exception. Longtime musical champions of the earth and its indigenous peoples, Midnight Oil built their reputation on superb songwriting, topical issues, and their legendary live shows. Familiar Oils' themes of corporate greed, pollution of the earth, human rights, and homelessness are found throughout(no surprise here), but the music is a return to the Diesel and Dust and Blue Sky years. Crackling guitar work and a live feel make songs like "Golden Age", "Too Much Sunshine", and "Capricornia" irresistable. All the tracks are excellent, with "Tone Poem" and "Under The Overpass" other standouts. Bonus tracks are "Kiss That Girl", a typical Oils rocker with outstanding dual guitars, and "Pub With No Beer", an Australian standard. Three CD-Rom videos are "Forgotten Years", "Mosquito March", and "Luritja Way" live at Cold Chapel in 2002. I have always found the Oils' music to be uplifting and inspiring, and this album fills the bill. Never ones to back down, the Oils go out the way they came in- on their own terms. Apparently their last album, this one's a gem.
