Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Australian band achieved massive international success with this highly polished, synth-heavy sophomore effort. 'This Island' is propelled by the chart-topping hit 'Heaven (Must Be There)', showcasing Grace Knight's soaring vocals and the group's mastery of incredibly catchy, radio-ready new wave pop. The album perfectly captures the sunny, synthesized optimism of mid-eighties commercial music.
