Midnight Oil Catalogue To Be Made Available Online

According to Jim Moginie who has been busy overseeing the project, revisiting original tapes and working with producers Nick Launay and Warne Livesey to ensure that everything sounds as good as it can;

"a lot of these [older] records were made for vinyl, so a lot of the frequencies were cut out because there were certain sounds you couldn't put on records. This was a good chance to get them back up to scratch, because now we can make them as loud and big sounding as [we] want, with all the added depth using the original master tapes. It's the audiophile nerd side of us that accounts for some of that."

The new masters will find their way onto CD eventually, the first off the block being this year's 'Diesel and Dust'.

In the meantime all the band's albums and eps are available on itunes from Tuesday 2nd September.

itunes will have a 30 day exclusive on the release.
