Title: The right soul of Australia...
Review: Like many people in France and worldwide, I discovered Midnight Oil through this FM-band killer released in 1987."Beds are burning" and "The Dead Heart" became instant classics, the other highlights including the catchies "Dreamworld" and "Sometimes" as well as the atmospheric "Put down that weapon" (my personal favorite!).You can still hear some of these tunes on the radio today...With its fine instrumental arrangements (electric & acoustic guitars, harmonicas...), intelligent and committed lyrics, "Diesel and Dust" established the Oil's as one of the most popular band of that time, although it sold few copies compared to its Aussies counterparts AC/DC and INXS...Yet it revealed a talented and charismatic frontman: Peter Garrett. With an incredible presence and his cutting voice, this last brings an awesome punk/heavy-metal touch to the songwriting!Included in the great Oil's period (1982-90), this album is on my mind one of their best release at that day!
