Artist : Midnight Oil

Album : Chiko Locallo (B-sides & Rarities)

Release Date : 26-06-2017

Due to the reformation of the band in 2016, 'Midnight Oil' has released 2 boxes including one containing titles never edited and faces B of 45 rpm (it was like that in time, we did not speak of single because the vinyl records had necessarily 2 faces !!). 'Diesel And Dust', with its 'Bed Are Burning' anthology that defended (already at this time) the aborigines of Australia, is far away (see the video above) but this release will perhaps allow some to discover this emblematic group of the 80s that with its leader 'Peter Garrett' were committed to ecological and anti-nuclear causes. Of course, this is not necessarily the best of 'Midnight Oil' but we find again this very particular style with its charismatic singer producing a powerful rock, authentic and deep. To summarize, this 'Chiko Locallo' is the witness of an era and may allow some to discover this legendary group by listening to its different albums (for my part, 'Diesel And Dust' and 'Blue Sky Mining' are the 2 albums to listen)...
