i was not happy to hear that they are not releasing in physical form,
but only on itunes, the other pre-1990 albums other than
Diesel. although if they make it available with lossless encoding
and not just AAC, it won't be so bad and then maybe we'll actually
hear the results of the remastering.
on the prospect of a reunion:
Moginie says that slipping into Midnight Oil's past has made him miss
playing with the band, which last performed at a 2005 tsunami
benefit. But with all its members ensconced in their own work he
doesn't foresee any reunions on the horizon.
"You know what it's like with a band; they break up and no one
believes them. 'When's the reunion scheduled?'" the guitarist says
with a laugh. "I think I'd be really surprised if we did [reunite] --
as the original lineup, anyway. When it ended it was a good time to
end. All our brain cells are pretty intact, nobody's financially in
too much trouble. It felt like a good time to finish it, and we all
think of the band very fondly.
"But you know what it's like -- you never say never."
