ESSENTIAL OILS is available now with 36 tracks on 2CD’s it is the most extensive Midnight Oil collection ever and spans their legendary career.

As Jim Moginie puts it; “For this collection, we put our most definitive songs in chronological timeline, so listening feels like a turbo boosted journey at light speed through 25 years of being in Midnight Oil”.

From Rob Hirst, “We had fun writing and recording all of these songs and loved playing them live. We also think they show the dynamics and diversity of the tracks we recorded in studios in Australia and overseas, and chart the band’s changing sounds, stories and memberships over a 25 year period. We really hope you enjoy Essential Oils.”
