songs as well as songs created from jams Eddie did with Double Life. The combination of these collaborations are included on the debut Forenzics album 'Shades and Echoes' (Warner Music). The album was released in early February 2022 nd has received very favourable reviews and response from media and music fans here there and everywhere. Rayner has performed Split Enz songs along with other ex-Split Enz members, such as a 2013 tour that included other ex-members Mike Chunn, Geoff Chunn, Emlyn Crowther, and Wally Wilkinson. Vocalists on that tour included The X Factor victor Jackie Thomas, contestant Tom Batchelor, and guest vocalists Annie Crummer, Rima Te Wiata, Rikki Morris and Jesse Sheehan. Eddie's son Harley Rayner is a member of dub band Mt Eden. Instruments During the career of Split Enz, Rayner used a wide, changing array of keyboards. In the band's early progressive rock incarnation keyboards he used included a Mellotron, but his mainstays during the band's most popular phase were a Yamaha CP-80 electro-acoustic piano, a Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer and a Prophet 5. When he played keyboards for Crowded House on tour during the late 1980s, he was seen to be using a Yamaha DX7 and a Yamaha Clavinova. Later, when touring with the Enz for reunions Eddie used a Yamaha Motif, Ensoniq TS12 and a Clavia Nord Wave.
