Does this make the Finn Bros. New Zealand's answer to Lennon and McCartney?

This is a fantastic album. Because it's a solo outing it has some creative flourishes, but don't think for a second that the songwriting represents Crowded House castaways. I think some of Neil's best songs are in this collection.

The chords, melody and progression of this driving song are spectacular to my ears!! {#Jump}

Wow, what a 'creative' use of a beaten to death oxymoron - deafening silence, anyone?

Such an underrated musician.  I was lucky enough to see Crowded House during their first reunion tour.

More likely an elf as his name is an anagram for Elfin Inn.

Plus, "nil" means "zero" in Australia and Europe, and I think "Neil" uses it as a nickname (tongue-in-cheek, I hope, because I give him a 10).

His whole nickname is "Nil Fun".

There were two albums...... One All and One Nil..... I think one was an import.

Human Kindness isn't on One Nil. As well as track order, the tracks themselves are a little different:

One All - Human Kindness, Lullaby Requiem
One Nil - Don't Ask Why, Elastic Heart

In England (and presumably New Zealand, where Neil is from), "nil" is another way of saying "zero," particularly when reciting sports scores. So "One Nil" is a perfectly acceptable expression from someone from the Commonwealth.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Music can´t be better. Neil is a musical mastermind (and very nice guy), leave alone this song´s far from being among his best material!

The sound in the beginning and in the background of a large part of the song, sounds exactly like music distorted with my old tape recorder, by manipulating the pause/ffwd keys to make it run faster or slower during recording or playback... :o
