Epi 173: Michael Hutchence Solo Album: Part 2 - Song by song review
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
Welcome to 2024 to all of our wonderful bronze, silver, gold and platinum patrons and loyal listeners.
We kick off the new year (pardon the pun) with Part 2 our important deep dive into Michael Hutchence’s posthumous solo release with a song-by-song review.
Following part one, we see how Michael stretches his musical capabilities and range both lyrically and sonically to great effect. Haunting, open and often literal, Michael’s lyrics have never been more specific and brutal.
We discuss each track and rate them accordingly, with our unique criterion. Sonically lush, guitar-wise, often dirty and emotionally heartbreaking, I recommend listening to this album for the healing and the true insight into what Michael was truly feeling in his final years.
This episode of the INXS AAA podcast is completed with additional news items and details about our competitions just launched. We nudge the 100-minute mark, so this action-packed episode may be your own two parter! We struggled to contain our enthusiasm and passion for what was a truly meaningful project for Michael, Danny Saber and Andy Gill.
Plus don't miss out on how to win some fantasic INXS memorbilla or 2 Tickets to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction. WhooHoo!
So sit back, relax, shut all distractions aside as INXS: Access all Areas kicks off a bumper 2024!
Love and peace ✌️

Epi 172: Michael Hutchence Solo Album Part One.
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
After 2 years of mourning, copious amounts of gossip innuendo and grief, finally INXS and Michael Hutchence fans have something meaningful and strangely healing to celebrate.
This posthumous release of 13 unique and varied tracks were originally the brainchild of a phone call (make that two) from Michael in 1995 to legendary UK Gang of Four band leader Andy Gill.
With the duo residing in the comfortable, calm and tranquil surrounds of the South of France, an environment of immense creativity and teamwork was established leading to a vast amount of songs and demos laid down. Knowing Co-Production support and proper studio surrounds were required, enter famed US alternative Producer and musician Danny Saber plus both the legendary Peter Gabriel Real World Studios amidst many others.
The songs contained a lyrical honesty, earnestness and soundscape unheard of from Michael before, which given his 1995 surroundings, was to be expected.
With no timelines or management interference, this self-financed labour of love had no release date time pressures, hence was parked when Michael returned to INXS commitments in 1996 and 1997. But with Michael’s unfortunate passing in November 1997, the integrity of these recordings were salvaged by an “angel from Los Angeles” in Danny Saber to whom we shall all be eternally grateful.
So sit back and enjoy what a monumental task it was to simply get this album to the release phase plus the circumstances and facts that lead to one of Michael’s greatest recording efforts.
Love and peace

Epi 171: INXS 1999 with Sananda Maitreya/ Terence Trent D’Arby
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Having had over 18 months to process the passing of Michael Hutchence, INXS were presented with the unique opportunity to spearhead the opening of Stadium Australia. The venue that would in the year 2000, be the home of the Sydney Olympic Games.
With ex Australian cricketing icon Dean Jones putting the deal together, INXS were proud to be the lead musical act that preceded the Australian Socceroos playing the FIFA All-Stars on June 12th, 1999 with over 90,000 spectators packing the venue. All they needed was a lead singer!!! Easier said than done.
Enter famed USA soul, pop and R&B vocalist Sananda Maitreya then know as Terence Trent Darby, who some 10 years earlier, “came like a comet” (hello The Waterboys) onto the music scene with his 10,000,000 + Introducing the Hardline debut album. Was this to be a one-off? A rent-try-buy arrangement or some other modus operandi.
Tune in to INXS: Access all Areas to find out all the answers to the above questions and also embrace in what was an unlikely musical union, albeit just for one night!!
Love and peace

Epi 169: INXS “1998- And then there were 5!”
Saturday Dec 02, 2023
Saturday Dec 02, 2023
When a family, a band and a fan base lose somebody as omnipresent as Michael Hutchence, it’s inevitable that a period of uncertainty, angst and healing are required. That’s what 1998 was for INXS as each member had to come to terms with their lives irrevocably changing forever.
So in today’s INXS AAA podcast episode, we examine the environment and circumstances that faced the band, management, the fans and upsurge in tabloid media as we tried to make sense in a world without Michael Hutchence. Would the band tour again? Change their name? Release any recordings with Michael? Get a new singer? Have a tribute concert for Michael? Or even talk to the media sharing their feelings and thoughts on Michael’s passing.
All of these questions and a whole lot more are examined and discussed in-depth, so sit back and deep dive with us on INXS: Access all Areas Episode 169. Love and Peace

Epi 168: R.I.P Michael Hutchence 22/11/1997
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
It’s that unfortunate time of the year where we pause, commiserate and commemorate the passing of Michael Kelland Hutchence. Iconic singer, loyal band mate, friend, father and idol to many.
Unlike other years, our anthology podcast has caught up with the 1997 period and as difficult as it is for us and our loyal listeners, we need to recount the events that preceded and proceeded that fateful day.
We do so with compassion, earnestness, regret and heartfelt sadness, but importantly stay on point with facts not solacious innuendo or clickbait. Importantly, we release this episode on the exact day some 26 years later and hope that talking about Michael’s loss does some good for those struggling to reconcile this tragic event.
There weren’t many men's support initiatives or mental health awareness and wellbeing programs back in 1997. So we hope that for anyone struggling in their own day to day world, you seek the necessary assistance.
Love and Peace

Epi 167: The Nile Rodger’s Deep Dive
Saturday Nov 11, 2023
Saturday Nov 11, 2023
Having spoken with Hall of Famer, Nile Rodgers last week, we are pleased to examine the career legacy, influence on generations of artists and the technical prowess that is funk/dance music.
Harking back to James Brown, George Clinton’s Funkadelic and Sly and The Family Stone, Nile and Chic took the baton in 1977 and created a soundscape that inspired hundreds of artists most notably “our INXS”!
We get to hear some fascinating “time and place” anecdotes from Darryl Hall, Tim Farriss, Michael Hutchence and Jon Farriss in working with Nile Rodgers combined with the huge respect that Nile had for the drumming exploits of Jon Farriss. And with the power of You Tube, we might even have a unique song opening to episode 167 with the band warming up to an obscure Nile solo song: Yum Yum!!
So sit back, pour a drink of your favourite poison and embrace the genius that is Nile Rodgers Part 2!
Love and Peace
