Release Notes:

From 1989 - 1998, after the Go-Betweens disbanded,
Robert Forster and Grant McLennan recorded four
albums each. Here their radically different writing
styles were showcased; Robert arch and dramatic,
Grant earnest and poppy. But the fervour of the
fanbase was such that many fans compiled their own
new Go-Betweens LPs from the highlights of their
respective albums. This curious happening may well
have inspired this novel compilation. Various
discussions about the album regularly reappeared.
Perhaps their songs should be mixed up together.
Perhaps it should just be one CD. Sometime in late
2005 after their masterpiece swansong Oceans Apart,
Robert and Grant decided that this compilation
should at last be brought into the light. The new
artistic plateau they had reached with that LP had
convinced them that the reformation of the
Go-Betweens had to permanent thing and it may well
have been the security of that knowledge which
allowed them to glance back at their solo years from
a safe perspective.

They both quickly chose the songs for their
respective albums and Grant came up with the title
Intermission. With Grant McLennan's passing on the
6th May 2006, it will be the last time that team
works together again It is important to remember
that throughout the 80s the Go-Betweens were a cult
band and their solo outings would sadly court only a
rarified audience. But their influence extended way
beyond that generation and forms the roots of so
much of the guitarist pop we hear today and there is
no other act that began circa 1978 that can match
the consistency of their canon. And for those of us
who took a punt on their solo albums, discovering
such magical gems as Horsebreaker Star and Danger In
The Past the rewards were plentiful. It was a
reminder of how great these two songwriters were.
Forster's isolated vignettes of longing and
McLennan's great outpourings of sublime pop music
were thrown into relief. All the solo albums are
worth your investigation but for now, here are some
of the greatest highlights from a fascinating
chapter in their career. Compiled by the writers
themselves and Grant McLennan's last message to you,
his listeners. Thank you for your support. Rest in
peace.s
