  • Red Sails In The Sunset is an LP by Midnight Oil from 1984 released on the CBS, Sprint label.

    About this album

    Red Sails In The Sunset is the album that pushed Midnight Oil from cult favourites towards broader recognition. Released in 1984, it sharpened the band’s hard-edged alternative rock with politically charged writing, drawing on nuclear anxiety, war, labour and Australian identity. Best Of Both Worlds, When the Generals Talk and Kosciusko show the group balancing blunt force with keen melodic instinct, while Peter Garrett’s intense delivery turns the record into a rallying cry as much as a rock album. The album helped define Midnight Oil’s reputation for activist conviction and made them one of Australia’s most distinctive rock bands.

    Genre: Pop & Rock
