W 1980 roku światło dzienne ujrzał pierwszy album zespołu "Inxs", który niestety zdobył marne recenzje, a co gorsza nie zwrócił uwagi potencjalnych słuchaczy. Zespół jednak się nie poddawał - rok później zostaje wydany album "Underneath The Colours", który zdobywa ogromną popularność w Australii i doprowadza do podpisania kontraktu z wytwórnią Atco Records, która załatwia chłopakom wyjazd do USA, który to okazuje się być przełomem w ich karierze.
Underneath the Colours is Australian rock group INXS' second album. It was released in Australia in 1981. It was with this album that Michael's songwriting started to mature and the band started to find a unique sound. Included were political songs and their very first ballad.
Perhaps the most underrated album of INXS's long career, 1981's UNDERNEATH THE COLOURS is an intriguing sidestep. The Sydney band's self-titled 1980 debut had been a mildly schizophrenic melange of straight-ahead rock & roll and new wave experiments. 1982's SHABOOH SHOOBAH would meld the two into a seamless, commercially viable whole, but this intervening album sounds in retrospect like INXS's attempt to get all its arty affectations out of the way once and for all.
Although the songs are melodic and basically commercial, the arrangements and production are quirky and dissonant. Kirk Pengilly's sax and Andrew Farriss's keyboards dominate the mix, with Michael Hutchence's vocals and Jon Farriss's increasingly dance-oriented drums lost in the background. The effect is very much of its time, but new wave fans and those who only caught up with INXS through its more successful later records will find UNDERNEATH THE COLOURS surprising and illuminating.

Hello :)
Thanks for Sad Lovers & Giants! I am looking for their discography, and would be very grateful if You could post here their LPs. I’m looking for “In the Breeze” [1984] ; “Total Sound” [1986]; “Les Années Vertes” [1988]; “Headland” [1990]; and “Treehouse Poetry” [1991]. I’m interested especially in those three from 80’s, because I know their first two records (thanks again, of course from Your blog :)) and that’s the “sound” I love.
Do You know And Also The Trees? It’s a great band, sounding similar to Sad Lovers & Giants, but their lyrics are poems, and music is slower, atmospheric, and sometimes sad and cold. Their albums are hard to get, not to mention Demo Tapes and Bootleg’s that exist and are great, but maybe You can find something? I hope so :).
Greetings!
Jim Basnight Here. Love your blog. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised if you heard some of our music.

Hi,
Great album, thanks so much for this!, your blog is awesome.
BTW , I was searching for online music store and found out that
Rockhouse has more than 5
million music records.The
site is easy to use.Search is excellent and rates are quite
competitive compare to other stores.
Thanks,
God, how I love this album...
I like this album becouse I think that it is the best one and the group so this band is very nice becouse their music is a different kind of rock.
To be honest, all the disc wasn't good, except the track #8. I will love when they start playing some real music. Anyway, anyone can buy the CD and enjoy the art, in my personal opinion isn't a big deal that style.
Nice site
I like your style, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get fed up of seeing same-old-same-old all of the time.
It's great when you are just surfing the web and find something wonderful like this!
INXS one of the greatest bands of my generation and in my opinion, it is difficult to listen to a very good band in our times
