"GET YER YA-YA'S OUT!" - recorded in 1969 over two nights at Madison Square Garden - is the last official live document of the Rolling Stones in their swaggering Sixties prime; it's also one of the greatest live albums of all time.Expectations were high for the band on its 1969 tour, the Stones' first in the U.S. in three years, and their first outing without guitarist Brian Jones, who had died

The Waterboys - This is the Sea [Remastered 2CD] (2004)

2009-11-28T15:09:00.004+01:00

This was a great album released in 1985. For some reason this album has an alluring quality to it that beckons the listener to absorb it completely. I was thrilled when it was finally given the treatment it deserved. The remaster is glorious. There are instruments that I never heard on the orginial CD pressing. This expanded version of this undisputed classic Waterboys album includes a bonus disc

2009-11-28T02:04:00.003+01:00

Traditional didgeridoo music here at The Mood Indicator. The music is rich, mind- expanding, and authentic. (none of your synthesized newage wallpaper.)

Cold Chisel - Chisel The best of (1998)

2009-11-28T01:28:00.005+01:00

Cold Chisel defined Aussie rock in the early to mid 80s, and have proven to be the cornerstone for most serious Australian rock acts since. This album gives you a good slice of their material, a bunch of sweaty raw ballads that bring a sense of pride to many a true blue bloke under 50 years of age. Jimmy Barnes went on to have a successful solo career in Australia, but the blending of him with

Noiseworks - Greatest hits (1998)

2009-11-28T01:05:00.005+01:00

This is a 15 track CD and there are many great songs on this album that any old or new fan of Noiseworks should enjoy and treasure like 'No Lies', 'Take

2009-11-28T00:54:00.006+01:00

This CD contains "nineteen episodes from the adventures of the Triffids". It is hard to believe such intense music did not receive much comercial success outside of Scandinavia, Germany, UK, The Netherlands and the Triffids home country of Australia. If you are interested in guitar driven, moody, melodramatic rock with awesome vocals and a deep deep sound, get this CD. Or at least get it as the

The Almighty Defenders - The Almighty Defenders

2009-11-27T23:51:00.003+01:00

This self-titled album was written, recorded and mixed in one week following the Black Lips rude expulsion from India. They flew directly into King Khan's legendary Moon Studios in Berlin where he and Mark Sultan were cooking up their own new album. It was both bands first major collaboration since a US tour 4 years earlier. This is a record of pure spirituals from six wise magicians. This isn t

PNAU - PNAU (2009)

Pnau, one of Australia’s most respected and highly enjoyable dance teams, have finally returned to us. Welcome back to the fold, boys, after a long few years without you! Their latest self-titled effort is nothing short of their former album. Pnau shook the world up with the release of their 2001 album ‘Sambanova’, but after the release of 2003’s ‘Again’ things went a little quiet for the band.

Silverchair - The best of Vol. 1 (2000)

'The Best Of Silverchair, Vol 1.' is a snapshot of the band's career during the 90's on the Epic label. Since leaving, they released the brilliant 'Diorama' through Atlantic and keep growing in leaps in bounds. This disc represents Silverchair in many various stages. From the early grunge-cliches of 'Tomorrow' to the more experimental 'Emotion Sickness,' there's something any modern rock fan can

Midnight Oil - Flat chat (2006)

2009-11-27T14:39:00.004+01:00

During their lengthy career, Australia's Midnight Oil recorded numerous energetic rock songs that did not become major singles. The original album versions of many of these tracks were produced more than 20 years ago. These songs were remarkable when played live, but they did not retain that energy on CD. Flat Chat offers remastered versions for 18 of Midnight Oil's most scorching anthems. The

Powderfinger - Golden rule [Deluxe edition] (2009)

2009-11-27T14:27:00.002+01:00

2009 album from the Australian Alt-Rockers. Recorded in Byron Bay with friend and producer extraordinaire Nick Didia (Neil Young, Pearl Jam), Golden Rule is a departure from Powderfinger's signature sound - whilst still maintaining their knack for producing classic rock songs - unusual instrumentation, dramatic angular structures and dissonant strings nestle between harder riffs and experimental

G'day! As The Mood Indicator is preparing to leave the cold and wet Netherlands for a short return trip to Australia, i'm putting together a cool compilation of random Australian music.

Oasis - (What the story) Morning Glory (1995)

2009-11-27T00:31:00.005+01:00

This big rock candy mountain of an album justifies some if by no means all of the poses and pretentious statements made by Manchester's natural-born rock & roll deities. A dramatic attempt to rekindle the flames of the original British Invasion, Morning Glory rolls 30 years of Britpop tradition into one irresistible (if achingly self-conscious) whole. "Wonderwall" can be read as a Beatles tribute

Seal - Hits [Deluxe edition] (2009)

2009-11-26T13:38:00.002+01:00

In a remarkable career that spans more than two decades, Seal has garnered countless accolades along with three Grammy Awards and has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.

The Proclaimers - Notes & Rhymes (2009)

2009-11-26T11:08:00.005+01:00

Scotland's most potent musical export, those raucous, rocking Reid brothers have not missed a beat since 2001's Persevere heralded a return to the form of their 1988 hit-packed second album, Sunshine on Leith. Since then a succession of first-rate albums has secured Crag and Charlie's reputation as writers and performers par excellence.Their latest opus, Notes & Rhymes, continues this high

Pink Floyd - Shine on Live (2009)

2009-11-26T10:52:00.003+01:00

Pink Floyd were an English rock band who, in the late 1960s, earned recognition for their psychedelic and space rock music, and in the 1970s, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music. Pink Floyd's work is marked by the use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most critically acclaimed and commercially

MUPPETS vs BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

Civil Twilight - Civil Twilight (2009)

2009-11-24T15:29:00.002+01:00

The South African trio sounds like a cross between the dramatic nature of a Ken Burns Civil War drama score fused with the modern rock staples of a teenage vampire movie. But most accurately, on first listen, vocalist Stephen McKeller sound like a young Bono yanked straight out the Joshua Tree days. (And with quite an impressive vocal range.) The comparisons between other light rock bands are

Whitley - Go Forth, Find Mammoth (2009)

2009-11-23T11:47:00.003+01:00

Cool Moods from Down under. Following on from his critically-lauded debut "The Submarine", Whitley returns with stellar follow up, "Go Forth, Find Mammoth". Written and produced by Whitley, and engineered in a ramshackle studio on the Victorian Coast, the new album pushes the talented songwriter to his limits. This well-realised follow-up picks up where his debut left off in it's warmth, beauty
