TIM FINN & PHIL MANZANERA
VINYL BOXSET
BFD
★★★☆
Many lockdown albums were melancholy and introspective affairs. But by no means all, as the two socially distanced collaborations between Tim Finn of Split Enz/Crowded House fame and Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera proved. Both 2021’s Caught By The Heart and 2022’s The Ghost Of Santiago came replete with Latin rhythms and a kind of anticipatory joy that one day the world would open up again. Excuse enough to pick up this limited boxset that also includes newer EP, Viento En Popa.
