"AT THE ROXY"  RICHARD CROMELIN Los Angeles Times; May 7, 1975; pg. D26 col 2.

"The group's appearance was especially welcome in this time of techno-rock, which has all but eliminated our awareness of the amazing lift that real pop singing and pop songs can give the soul."

"Bizarre Rock By Split Enz At Bottom Line"  New York Times; Mar 7, 1977; pg. 31 col 4. 

"Musically, Split Enz is typical of modern techno-rock, with more than a dash of music-hall schmaltz thrown in."

 

"Trip to Nowhere Special" Terry Atkinson, Los Angeles Times; Sep 11, 1983;  pg. T70

"And once you've heard that song, you've heard what most of "Closeto the Bone" sounds like:  snappy but subdued rhythms that mix Bahamian percussion with techno-soul beats; sliding, relaxed tempos; synthesizers that bleep and squiggle through the songs like mischievous munchkins; and soft, slightly detached, multi-tracked vocals by Tina Laura and Lani Weymouth."
