This weeks album of the week is, Tim Finn – Big Canoe
Big Canoe is the 1986 solo album released by former Split Enz frontman Tim Finn. Finn had won Australasian success with his debut solo album, Escapade in 1983, while still a member of his longtime band Split Enz. Finn left the band permanently in June 1984, to focus on a solo career, and the following year moved to London and began working on Big Canoe. The album utilised a wide variety of instrumentation, including guitars, orchestral backings and traditional Indian instruments – notably on the ambitious single No Thunder, No Fire, No Rain, which was inspired by the Bhopal chemical disaster.
