Another one from Au is "Icehouse"...still dig them.

Starfish (The Church LP with "Under the Milky Way") is in my top 10 (perhaps even top 5) favorite LPs of all time. Every song on it is fantastic even if most of them were never hits.

Icehouse found a much more mainstream audience. I liked the tune No Promises a lot, although some of their tunes (such as "Crazy") were a bit too top-40 sounding for my ears, or maybe they just got overplayed by north American radio at the time.

Yes, as with many groups, it's all those gems that do not make any airplay that I find wonderful. The Church has quite the prolific stretch of releases and they never had to depend upon radio as they have a solid following. Definitely a band I would love to have seen in concert.

You made my evening with your post. I came on here after taking a break from forums to see what, if anything, Access may have brought to NAMM, but guess it's the Kemper Profiling stuff still, right?!

Looks that way on NAMM.
