About this album

Blue Sky Mining is Midnight Oil at their most focused and forceful, turning political anger into sharply written, high-impact rock. Issued in 1990, the Australian band’s release responded to labour and environmental issues with songs such as Blue Sky Mine and Forgotten Years, pairing Peter Garrett’s unmistakable vocals with driving guitars and a taut, anthemic pulse. The record reinforced Midnight Oil’s reputation as one of rock’s most outspoken socially conscious bands, balancing melody with protest in a way that gave their message broad reach. Its impact helped cement the group’s status well beyond Australia.

Genre: Pop & Rock
