The Great Dividing Range (Album)
The eponymous debut album was produced at Studio Couch in Fremantle, Western Australia by Shaun O'Callaghan (producer of the John Butler Trio, Eskimo Joe and others). It was released in early 2005 by NonZero Records and distributed by Shock Records. The tracks "Comfort Zone" and "Prisoner of Nostalgia" received airplay on radio station Triple J and the album gained extensive airplay on the ABC regional network. Reviews from such publications as Drum Media and Time Off were enthusiastic and favourable.
Most of the album can be said to be within the genre of alt-country but ranging from the catchy ("Comfort Zone") to psychedelic ("Starry Starry") to philosophical ("Mr Tailor") and verging on experimental ("Age of.......").

Famous quotes containing the words dividing and/or range:
“If you stand right fronting and face to face to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both its surfaces, as if it were a cimeter, and feel its sweet edge dividing you through the heart and marrow, and so you will happily conclude your mortal career. Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
