A liquid crystal apparatus, comprising:(a) a liquid crystal panel comprising a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of data electrodes intersecting the scanning electrodes so as to form an electrode matrix, and a chiral smectic liquid crystal disposed between the scanning electrodes and the data electrodes, (b) drive means for sequentially selecting a scanning electrode from the scanning electrodes by sequentially applying a scanning selection signal to the scanning electrodes, and applying voltage waveform signals to the data electrodes, each voltage waveform signal including a data signal, a voltage pulse of a polarity opposite to that of the data signal and a pulse of voltage zero, respectively with respect to a voltage level of a non-selected scanning line, in a scanning selection period for the selected scanning electrode, the data signal in combination with the scanning selection signal providing a voltage sufficient to orient the chiral smectic liquid crystal at an intersection of the selected scanning electrode and an associated data electrode to either one or another orientation state depending on a polarity of the voltage, (c) temperature detection means for detecting a temperature of the liquid crystal panel, and (d) control means for controlling the drive means so that a period of the pulse of voltage zero is increased corresponding to an increase in the detected temperature of the liquid crystal panel. 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said control means controls the drive means so that a length of the scanning selection period is constant even when the detected temperature of the liquid crystal panel increases.
3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said control means controls the drive means so that a width of the data signal and a width of the voltage pulse of an opposite polarity are shortened corresponding to an increase in the detected temperature of the liquid crystal panel.
4. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said chiral smectic liquid crystal is disposed between a pair of substrates respectively having the scanning electrodes and the data electrodes, the substrates being disposed with a spacing therebetween small enough to suppress a helical structure of the chiral smectic liquid crystal, and liquid crystal molecules are tilted with respect to the substrate faces.
5. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the liquid crystal molecules are tilted at an angle of at least 5 degrees with respect to the substrate faces.
6. An apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said chiral smectic liquid crystal is in an alignment state forming a chevron structure.
Display apparatus using a ferroelectric chiral smectic liquid crystal have been known as disclosed in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,639,089, 4,681,404, 4,682,858, 4,712,873, 4,712,874, 4,712,875, 4,712,877, 4,714,323, 4,718,276, 4,738,515, 4,740,060, 4,765,720, 4,778,259, 4,796,979, 4,796,980, 4,859,036, 4,932,757, 4,932,758, 5,000,545 and 5,007,716.
It was also found that the above phenomenon also depended upon a change in environmental temperature and particularly was promoted when the environmental temperature was elevated.

FIG. 10 is a drive waveform diagram used in another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a liquid crystal display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display panel 401, a scanning signal applying circuit 402, a data signal applying circuit 403, a scanning signal control circuit 404, a drive control circuit 405, a data signal control circuit 406, a graphic controller 407, a temperature detection element 408, and a temperature data detection circuit 409. Data sent from the graphic controller 407 are sent via the drive control circuit 405 to the scanning signal control circuit 404 and the data signal control circuit 406 and converted into address data and display data, respectively. On the other hand, the temperature of the liquid crystal display panel is detected by the temperature detection element 408 and the temperature detection circuit 409 from which temperature data are supplied via the drive control circuit 405 to the scanning signal control circuit 404. Based on the address data and display data, a scanning signal is generated by the scanning signal applying circuit 40 and applied to the scanning electrodes in the liquid crystal display panel 401. Further, data signals are generated by the data signal applying circuit 403 based on the display data and applied to the display electrodes in the liquid crystal display panel 401.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the liquid crystal display panel 401 and shows scanning electrodes S1 -S6 . . . Sn and data electrodes I1-I6 . . . In which are disposed to intersect each other to form an electrode matrix. FIG. 6 is a schematically enlarged view of a section including the scanning electrode S2 in FIG. 5. Referring to FIG. 6, the display panel includes oppositely disposed substrates (glass plates) 601a and 601b having transparent electrodes 602a (constituting scanning electrodes) and 602b (constituting data electrodes), respectively, comprising, e.g., In2 O3 or ITO (indium tin oxide) on their opposite faces, which are further laminated with 200 to 1000 Å-thick insulating films 603a and 603b (of SiO2, TiO2, Ta2 O5, etc.) and 50 to 1000 Å-thick alignment control films 604a and 604b of, e.g., polyimide. The alignment control films 604a and 604b are rubbed in the directions denoted by arrows A and B, respectively, which are parallel and identical to each other. A ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal 605 is disposed between the substrates 601a and 601b which are spaced from each other with a spacing of, e.g., 0.1-3 μm, which is sufficiently small to suppress the formation of a helical structure of the ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal 605 and develop a bistable alignment state of the ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal 605. The sufficiently small spacing is held by spacer beads 606 (of silica, alumina, etc.).
A ferroelectric liquid crystal display panel of the above-described structure was subjected to continuous display of a display pattern including black display stripes 71 and white display stripes 73 for prescribed hours, after which the panel was subjected to measurement or observation of drive margin, cell thickness, color tone and occurrence of liquid crystal-void portions which are items most sensitively reflecting the occurrence of the liquid crystal molecular movement, whereby no change was observed in any of the above-mentioned items, thus showing good results. The cell thickness was measured at points 7201-7215. The set of driving waveform used was one as shown in FIG. 8 including waveforms (scanning selection signals) applied to scanning electrodes S1, S2, S3 . . . and data signal waveforms including no pause period (period of voltage zero) applied to data electrodes I1, I2, I3 . . . and having a voltage amplitude of 15 volts. The surface temperature of the liquid crystal panel at that time was 20� C.
Good results with no change in any of the above-mentioned items were observed when the panel was driven by using a set of driving waveforms shown in FIG. 9 including a pause period in an overall data signal applied to data electrodes within a period (scanning selection period) for a scanning line of 2Δt + the pause period under two panel surface temperature conditions of 20� C. and 30� C., respectively.
Further, good results with no change in any of the above-mentioned items were observed when the panel was driven by using a set of driving waveforms shown in FIG. 10 including a pause period in an overall data signal applied to data electrodes within a scanning selection period for a scanning line of 2Δt + the pause period at three panel surface temperature conditions of 20� C., 30� C. and 40� C., respectively.
In contrast to the above, when the panel was driven continuously by using the set of driving waveforms shown in FIG. 8 at a panel surface temperature of 30� C. and then subjected to similar measurement, whereby the change in color tone or the occurrence of liquid crystal void was not observed but the cell thickness was increased by 2-3% compared with the original value at points 7211, 7213 and 7215 (rightmost points) in black display stripes 71 and at points 7202 and 7204 (leftmost points) in white display stripes 73, thus failing to provide a good results. At these points, an increase in threshold value was observed corresponding to the increase in cell thickness, thus resulting in an adverse effect with respect to the drive margin. Further, when the panel was driven at 40� C. by using the driving waveform shown in FIG. 8, the cell thickness increase was raised to 6-8%, resulting in a corresponding increase in threshold value and a change in color tone.
Further, when the panel was driven continuously at a panel surface temperature of 40� C. by using the driving waveforms shown in FIG. 9 and then subjected to similar measurement, the cell thickness was increased by 1-2% resulting in a corresponding increase in threshold value, but some improvement was attained than in the case of using the driving waveforms shown in FIG. 8.
The above results are summarized in the following Table 1.

Shelter in Reform - The New York Times
nyregionopinions|Shelter in Reform
Shelter in Reform
JOHN SAMPLES OCT. 29, 2006
WITH the Republican Party beset by scandals and political setbacks of various kinds, Representative Chris Shays, a Republican from the moderate Fourth District of Connecticut, might well expect to be swept out in a Democratic tide next month. In 2004, John Kerry got 52 percent of the district’s vote, while Mr. Shays’s own opponent that year, Diane Farrell, received 48 percent.
If Mr. Shays survives his November rematch against Ms. Farrell, he will owe his political life to a moderate voting record, independence from the Republican leadership, pork spending and, perhaps most important, the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, which he co-sponsored and championed in the House of Representatives.
Before McCain-Feingold, vulnerable incumbents like Mr. Shays faced two significant dangers to their re-election: the first was so-called “soft money,” the unregulated funds allowed for party building. Soft money, ostensibly intended to nurture party grassroots, frequently ended up financing party attack ads in hotly contested districts like the Fourth. In 2002, for example, the national parties channeled a total of more than $3 million in soft money into television advertising directed at voters in one such district in Pennsylvania.
The second danger was embodied by unaffiliated but essentially partisan outside groups, often tied to labor unions, business interests or special-interest groups focused on issues like the environment, guns or abortion. These groups also were willing and able to finance ads criticizing sitting members of Congress.
McCain-Feingold effectively eliminated both threats. The law virtually prohibited soft money fund-raising and prevented unions and corporations alike from paying for attack ads during the 60 days before an election — in other words, the time during which most voters begin paying attention. Mr. Shays, in trouble now, would almost certainly face defeat without these McCain-Feingold prohibitions on spending.
Diane Farrell, in contrast, would probably be on her way to victory had McCain-Feingold not become law. From 1998 to 2002, the national Democratic Party raised as much soft money as the Republicans. Labor unions and other groups affiliated with the Democrats were well financed and active in campaigns. Without McCain-Feingold, both the national party and the affiliated groups would have ample resources to attack Mr. Shays and support Ms. Farrell.
Under McCain-Feingold, however, the Republican National Committee is expected to spend five times more than its Democratic counterpart While the two parties’ Congressional campaign committees have raised similar amounts, the Republicans’ overall superiority in fund-raising gives them a distinct advantage. Ms. Farrell may win in spite of it, but other Democratic challengers who lose tight races will have a legitimate claim that McCain-Feingold contributed to their defeat.
The law undermines Democrats in more subtle ways, as well. In 2004, Democratic partisans circumvented the ban on party fund-raising by exploiting a loophole in the law that enabled groups, called 527’s after the applicable section of the tax code, to raise and spend several hundred million dollars. Yet these 527’s were not part of the Democratic Party; they could not legally coordinate with party leaders or committees.
Consequently, the Democrats couldn’t incorporate 527 fund-raising and spending into their 2004 strategy and the party became less a single-minded organization seeking electoral victory and more an assembly of groups pursuing similar aims in disparate ways. The Democrats did achieve a record turnout in 2004, but the highly organized Republican Party (which largely avoided 527’s) did even better by integrating their strategy with their abundant party funds.
Chris Shays may face some opposition from groups unaffiliated with the Democratic Party. But such efforts will probably prove less effective than an integrated Democratic attack financed by soft money.
McCain-Feingold has also pitted current Democrats’ hopes against their long-term aspirations. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Rahm Emanuel, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, have fought bitterly over the allocation of party resources.
Mr. Dean wants to build up the party throughout the nation, branching out in states where the Democrats are now weak. Mr. Emanuel argues that the future is now, and that Democrats should spend their money to win a Congressional majority in November. Mr. Dean appears to have won the battle, perhaps at the cost of dimming Democratic prospects this year. If party soft money still existed, however, the Democrats would probably have had sufficient resources to finance both their 2006 effort and their party building for the future.
More than 90 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for McCain-Feingold in 2002. That’s not surprising. Democratic activists support campaign finance reform without much thought about its electoral consequences. But at the time, Democratic leaders like Tom Daschle worried that the law, especially the soft money ban, would particularly hurt Democrats. Now we see why. If Chris Shays and other vulnerable Republicans return to Congress in January, they will have McCain-Feingold to thank.
John Samples, the director of the Center for Representative Government at the Cato Institute, is the author of “The Fallacy of Campaign Finance Reform.”

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the spring includes a hollow central portion to expedite hydrogen flow into and out of the apparatus.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the spring is a garter spring.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein one end of the apparatus is sealed.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a jacket porous to hydrogen envelopes the spring.
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the apparatus is connected to means for utilizing hydrogen.
7. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the tube is constructed from a heat conducting material.
8. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the spring is flexible.
9. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein at least one spacer is disposed between the tube and the spring.
TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to the utilization of hydrogen in general and more particularly to an apparatus for storing and recovering hydrogen from a hydridable material.
BACKGROUND OF THE ART Abundantly available, hydrogen has long been employed in many chemical processes. Now, as industry develops new applications for hydrogen, there is a growing need to store hydrogen safely and conveniently.
Hydrogen is stored conventionally as a gas in steel cylinders at high pressures (e.g., 13.79 MPa or 2,000 psi) and at lower pressures as a liquid in insulated containers. Both methods of storage require comparatively bulky storage containers. In addition to their unwieldy size, such containers are inconvenient due to the high pressure required for gas storage in cylinders and the ever present danger of gaseous hydrogen evolving from boiling-off of the liquid form.
Within recent years, considerable attention has been focused on the storaage of hydrogen as a metallic compound, or hydride, of various substances. Metal hydrides, in the form of powders, can store large amounts of hydrogen at low and even sub-atmospheric pressures in relatively small volumes. This low pressure storage of hydrogen is relatively safe and allows the construction of hydrogen containers having forms significantly different than those presently known.
Apart from the storage of hydrogen, hydrides are also currently being evaluated for gas compression, solar heat storage, heating and refrigeration, hydrogen purification, utility peak-load shaving, deuterium separation, electrodes for electrochemical energy storage, pilotless ignitors and internal combustion engines.
During the adsorption/desorption process, the hydridable metal has been found to expand and contact as much as 25% in volume as a result of hydrogen introduction and release from the metal lattice. Such dimensional change leads to fracture of the metal powder particles into finer particles. After several such cycles, the fine powder self-compacts causing inefficient heat transfer and, as a consequence, hydrogen transfer. Additionally, and of even greater significance, high stresses due to the compaction of the powder and expansion during hydride formation are directed against the walls of the storage container. The stress within the powder has been observed to accumulate until the yield strength of the container is exceeded whereupon the container plastically deforms, buckles or bulges and eventually ruptures. Such rupture is extremely dangerous since a fine, often pyrophoric powder is violently expelled by a pressurized, flammable hydrogen gas. Small, experimental cylinders of the aforedescribed type have indeed been found to burst when subjected to repetitive charging-discharging conditions.
In particular, the successful application of metal hydride technology for the recovery of usable energy from low grade heat sources such as industrial waste heat and solar energy has been previously hindered by the following problems:
1. Heat transfer through a metal hydride powdered bed is inherently poor.
2. The aforementioned tendencies of the hydrides (due to hydride expansion when absorbing hydrogen) have been known to produce substantial mechanical forces and therefore have hindered the use of economical hydride containment designs.
3. Hydrogen pressure drops through the hydride beds may become so excessive that gas transfer is seriously impaired.
One current solution to the problems enumerated above is the employment of cylindrical capsules to contain the hydride. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,135,621. When oriented in a horizontal position, this technology has been successful in alleviating the deleterious compaction problem. However, poor heat transfer and excessive pressure drops have warranted continued investigation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, there is provided a hydrogen storage recovery-heat exchanger tube. A prestressed hollow spring, running substantially the entire length of the tube is axially disposed within the tube. A bed of hydridable material is packed into the tube filling the void between the spring and the inner wall of the tube. One end of the tube may be sealed.
The spring acts as a conduit for the hydrogen; the direction of the hydrogen flow being a function of whether the container is being hydrided or dehydrided. Simultaneously, the spring, acting as a flexible spine for the tube, immobilizes the hydride powder and prevents it from shifting about.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a cross section of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an embodiment of the invention.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a partially cut away, cross sectional view of the hydrogen storage-recovery-heat exchanger unit 10.
The unit 10 includes a tube 12 circumscribing a hollow spring 14. It is preferred to utilize a prestressed garter spring 14. The spring 14 axially extends substantially throughout the tube 12. Any suitable hydridable material 16 (for example, the HY-STOR [a trademark of the assignee of this invention] series of metal hydrides marketed by the assignee of this invention) is packed between the spring 14 and the internal wall of the tube 12. Care should be taken to prevent the hydride 16 from entering the hollow spring 14.
The spring 14 provides a distinct hydrogen transport conduit within the unit 10 so that upon hydriding or dehydriding the unit 10, the hydrogen will easily pass through the wire skeleton of the spring 14 to or from the hydride 16. Yet, due to the mechanical prestress of the spring 14, the hydride is immobilized and prevented from flowing about. Moreover, inasmuch as the spring 14 can be bent into any configuration, hydrogen cross over flow will be facilitated since the wire of the bent spring will tend to separate from itself.
If desired, a porous filter sheath 18 may be fitted over the spring 14 to minimize filter pore size and hydride powder leakage. By the same token, a plug 20, preferably made from glass wool, may be disposed at the closed end of the spring 14 to prevent the hydride material from entering the hollow of the spring 14.
A plurality of spacers 36 (only one is shown) may be employed to support and center the spring 14 within the tube 14.
The invention and the manner of applying it may, perhaps be better understood by a brief discussion of the principles underlying the invention.
As was alluded to earlier, hydrogen must be safely and conveniently stored. Moreover, in order to take full advantage of the properties of any hydridable material, the heat transfer characteristics of the material must not be impaired.
The instant invention, by effectively utilizing the large surface area interface between the spring and the hydride, easily accomplishes the above tasks. Firstly, as a result of the physical configuration of the unit 10, the hydrogen is permitted to react with substantially all of the available hydride almost instanteously and thus eliminate the hydrogen "shockwave" that has previously hindered hydrogen flow through a hydride bed. This shockwave has been known to cause container deformation and failure. Indeed, after multiple hydridings and dehydridings (50+) at different rates, there is no evidence of tube distortion or reduced kinetics.
Secondly, since the surface area of the spring-hydride interface has been greatly increased, the hydrogen flow rate between the interstices of the spring 14 remains small, thus minimizing the pressure drop between a hydrogen utilizer (i.e. a storage tank, an internal combustion engine, a temperature sensor, etc.) 34 and the hydride. This desirably low pressure drop capacity effectively increases the heat transfer rate of the hydride container and may enable the utilization of low (more stable, i.e., higher heat of formation) hydrides to be used thereby resulting in the increase of the system's thermal efficiencies.
Furthermore, inasmuch as pressure drops are minimized, relatively long lengths of thin walled tubing may be utilized. In this fashion, the number of potentially troublesome joints may be reduced per given length of tubing.
Due to the relatively large surface area of the tube 12 and the small surface area of the spring 14, the heat transfer characteristic of the unit 10 are greatly enhanced. Moreover, the ratio of unit 10 hardware to hydride may be made sufficiently small so as to not sacrifice high heat transfer rates. For example, a 0.95 cm (3/8 inch) OD tube will display a void space (that is, the distance between the tube 12 and spring 14) of only 0.127 cm (0.05 inches). It is clearly apparent that in this instance heat need only travel a small distance to achieve the desired effect upon the hydride. Indeed, a thin copper tube 12 having a 0.95 cm (3/8 inch) outside diameter exhibits a heat transfer capacity that appears to be about seven times better than a 1.27 cm (1/2 inch) aluminum capsule as taught by U.S. Pat. No. 4,135,621.
By boosting the heat transfer characteristics of the unit 10, low grade heat sources may be expeditiously utilized in heat pumping, heating and refrigeration, and hydrogen compression.
Moreover, in contrast to current configurations, any container configuration is possible since the former compaction problem has been eliminated.
FIG. 2 demonstrates the usefulness of the unit 10. In the example shown, the unit 10 is being employed as a heat sensor and actuator. The tube 12, fully charged with hydrated powder, is connected to the pressure side of an activating piston chamber 22. Upon a suitable change in temperature, the powder dehydrides and releases hydrogen into the spring. Ultimately, the pressure of the hydrogen overcomes the force of the spring 24 to force pin 26 to pierce membrane 32, thus freeing the contents of the cartridge 28 for use via exit port 30. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,282,931.

Theater: ‘All by Myself’; Anna Russell in Revue at 41st St. Theater
June 16, 1964, Page 47 The New York Times Archives
ANNA RUSSELL, the exuberant concert comedienne, began an indefinite engagement last night at the 41st Street Theater with a one‐woman show called “All By Myself,” for which she supplied the sketches, lyrics and music.
She may have been on the stage all by herself—except for the assistance at the piano by the capable Frank Bartholomew—but Miss Russell was not alone by any means. She had the house in the palms of her mobile hands. The first‐nighters howled at every line, at every grimace, at every nuance and at every swivel of her flexible hips.
The applause appeared at times excessive. But Miss Russell, a wondrous performer with a deft touch and witty point of view, deserved the audience's affection. Although most of her material has been previously displayed, it is still vastly amusing.
There are many moments of brightness and musicality in her program. Her sketches of the dilettante president of a cultural festival or of the oddballs at an art exhibition are inspired tomfoolery. She plays the various roles not only with feverish capability but also with great incisive strokes. She crowds the stage with lively images that are at once hilarious and meaningful. She pricks the various foibles with a devastating neatness.
ALL BY MYSELF, an Anna Russell revue. Sketches, lyrics and music by Miss Russell. Staged by Kurt Cert; setting by Robert E. Darling; costumes by Stephanya. Miss Russell assisted at the piano by Frank Bartholomew. Presented by Martin‐Blankenship Productions. At the 41st Street Theater, 125 West 41st Street.
Especially delightful are her portrayals of the prima donna who appears in a modern version of “Carmen” set in Texas, the terribly sophisticated French singer, the flamenco dancer with the bothersome castanets, the fidgety South American vocalist and the collective Soviet ballad singers.
There is hardly a song style that escapes Miss Russell's rapier wit. She unmercifully kids the ballad of tormented love, the sticky and chiklish Christmas number, the maudlin tune where a singer loves a louse (“the lousier he is the more she loves him,” Miss Russell observes), the song with the undecipherable lyrics or the Red Hot Mamma type of vocalist.
Miss Russell's most ambitious—and perhaps most versatile—piece is “Hamletto,” which is reserved for the end of the evening. This is supposed to be a recently discovered version of “Hamlet” by Verdi. Of course, no one is going to believe that Verdi could have concocted such a wild operatic adaptation. But, no matter, Miss Russell acts, sings and gesticulates it with inexhaustible energy, and imagination. It is an amazing demonstration of her skills. She is a cleverly irreverent and gifted artist.

Goin' Your Way (2CD Set) by Neil Finn Audio CD $16.99
Intriguer: Deluxe Edition
Time on Earth (Amazon Exclusive)
2014 release, the third solo album from the beloved New Zealand-based singer/songwriter best known for his work with Crowded House and Split Enz. The long-awaited Dizzy Heights is his first solo studio album since 2001's ONE NIL. Finn recorded the album at his own Roundhead Studio in Auckland and in Upstate New York. It was co-produced with Dave Fridmann (MGMT, Tame Impala, the Flaming Lips). "I didn't want to make it a solo record in a stripped back singer/songwriter sort of way," Finn says. "I had a feeling Dave would be good at adding some odd shapes to the music, which I always welcome - making things a little more expansive. He is good at subverting things, and making things sound a bit messed up and not as obvious, rather than being too tasteful, which is always a temptation."

4.0 out of 5 starsLaurels, uncrushed and disregarded.
ByDingleberryon February 11, 2014
With 'Dizzy Heights', Neil Finn continues what he started with the title and contents of his first solo album, 'Try Whistling This'. And that is, fixing anyone who wants him to become the next Elton John, George Michael or even Robbie Williams with a steady stare while giving them his middle finger.
He will not be going soft on us by merely rehashing Crowded House songs on daytime TV to pad out his retirement fund. No, he's looking forward not back and is still curious about what else his music could be.
I've been listening to this album for a week on Pandora. When 'Divebomber' was first released I was unimpressed and disappointed. That falsetto, the rambling nothingness of it all. No, I wouldn't be buying this album. But the experience of the whole album puts that track into perspective. I'm not keen on it yet but I do now have an appreciation for it and it's growing on me. If nothing else it makes me smile when I think of Mr. Finn picking it as the lead single. As I said, a middle finger to those hoping for easy, charming, beguiling melodies that echo his past triumphs.
Still, there are some 'That Crowded House Guy' gems here along with the more experimental tracks. His falsetto appears in about three songs and I'm not sure if he's pulling it off or not. But it's that spread from conventional to odd that may make this his most interesting and enjoyable solo album so far. There are some truly wonderful moments where everything comes together so perfectly that it makes my hair stand on end - the last minute or so of 'Recluse' comes to mind. Then there are some forays into more 'difficult' music, that you wouldn't normally associate with Neil Finn, that are enjoyable in a totally different way. But it's not like this is a Scott Walker record, most of the tracks are pretty conventional and easily enjoyable.
In this age of the loudness wars I always take a look at the wave form to see if there's any compression on an album. I was surprised to see that there is. The track 'Flying In The Face Of Love' being the worst example.
All in all though, there's much to enjoy here and I hope he doesn't get arthritis in that finger.
Some other good news is that Mr. Finn has dispensed with that really bad mustache that had attacked his face around the time of Crowded House's 'Intriguer' album. Now, maybe, if things keep going this well, he'll remaster and re-issue the first four Crowded House albums in nice digi-paks with some bonus stuff and copious liner notes. C'mon Neil, after all, we did humor you with that 'tasche.
4.0 out of 5 starsLike the Groove
ByLee ArmstrongHALL OF FAMEVINE VOICEon February 26, 2014
Neil Finn's new CD has two great tracks. The title track is lush, melodic with the breathy "ah" background vocals and pulsing keyboard giving a magical feeling, "It never stops, don't like the groove, well call the cops, on Halloween." "Flying in the Face of Love" is another pulsing midtempo track with Neil's vocals expressive with strong guitar parts, "It's just a feeling that gets in the way sometimes, every distraction you can imagine, like a disclaimer, it's turning you off." The other songs are certainly interesting and quite listenable like rocking "Better Than TV," the airy "In My Blood," and the throbbing "Pony Ride." This is a disc well worth discovering. Enjoy!
3.0 out of 5 starsClassic Finn
ByRobert Con March 22, 2014
Many of the reviews of this CD categorize it as "Hard to Listen To". I think some of the tracks hold up better then some of the songs on the last two Crowded House CD's. In some cases it sounds as if Neil is embracing his Split Enz past and writing some tunes that seem more in the vein of what his brother Tim would come out with. However, songs like RECLUSE could have found a home on ANY Crowded House CD, so I can only imagine what DIDN'T make this CD, since Finn has said he does tend to "hold back" tracks for other projects, such as Crowded House.
Pick this up, and don't let the opening track "Impressions" scare you off.
ByHeidiBon September 25, 2014
very disappointed - big fan of finn brothers in their various forms (split enz, crowded house) - but not this neil only venture
4.0 out of 5 starsAnother great effort from a master
ByMike Santarsieroon April 12, 2014
I had to write a review on this because I had been hearing some bad words about it. I think it's another fine effort from Mr.Finn, yes it is a little different but he's an artist and that's what artist do, some people expect everything he does to sound like Crowded House. To expect an artist to do the same thing over and over again is absurd. These are probably the people that booed Ricky Nelson at Madison Square Garden. Just open your mind and enjoy it
5.0 out of 5 starsMy Favorite Album of the Year Thus Far
I loved this album! How have I never heard of Neil Finn? Reading about him on Wikipedia, I feel he's like the Paul McCartney of New Zealand. I discovered Neil Finn while watching Later... With Jools Holland on Palladia. He did Dizzy Heights on the show, as well as Flying in the Face of Love, I think. So I sampled other songs here on Amazon, and they all sounded like something I might want to hear more of. As it turns out, I love most every song on the album. The sound is indescribable to me. If I were to describe it as a mixture of the early BeeGees and the Yardbirds, I'd probably be way off. That is just an impression. I now listen to this CD practically every night before going to bed. It's certainly a very relaxing sound, and it has some very interesting lyrics. But musically these songs are perfect. Everything seemed to come together just right, which tells me its an inspired album. I read that two of his sons, Elroy and Liam, I think, also play on the album. I get a warm feeling just thinking of a father being able to make music with his two sons. His wife also plays on the album, I believe. My favorite songs are the two I mentioned, as well as Impressions, Recluse, and In My Blood. But really, there's not a bad song on the album.
ByGerry Palmeron April 4, 2014
Man, I love this guy. While his music over the years had definitely been a required taste, this one slides off the edge of required taste and quirky. His voice is ill-suited for many of the songs in the selection. The production seems very muddy to my ears. I always thought Neil was very underrated in the rock world but this one fails to deliver for me.
4.0 out of 5 starsFinn flys high with Dizzy Heights
ByKathy Zatkoson March 12, 2014
I have always loved Neil Finn's singing and songwriting. He willing to explore thru his music. Dizzy Heights is yet another gem from a man that should be on the Mount Rushmore for musicians. I especially love the fact he includes his wife, Sharon, and two sons Liam and Elroy on this album. Way to go Neil!
