Looking for Wildland - Late 80s Aussie group?

Does anyone know about this group? I once had their LP vinyl, but long lost it. I don't see anything on the internet anymore of them. Does anyone even have anything of their's or has this group really bit the dust??

Re: Looking for Wildland - Late 80s Aussie group?

Are they the group that did 'One For Unity' (or it might have just been called 'Unity')? I remember (I think) seeing that on Countdown Revolution in 1989, a 'live' studio performance. It's one of those songs I'd completely forgotten about until I stumbled across that dark recess of my brain about a year or so ago. Don't have anything by them though.

Ah, they are!

There's this release listed on discogs.com , but no copies of it listed for sale:

There's some videos on youtube, too, including the music video:

Re: Looking for Wildland - Late 80s Aussie group?

On the Australian Music Report (Kent Report) chart (which was used by ARIA until late June 1988), 'Unity' peaked at #75 and spent 6 weeks in the top 100, from 7th Aug 1989. It was their only charting entry.

I bought this album new on vinyl at a brashs clean out, when they were closing down.

I ripped their one hit off it for my radio station collection, here's a lossless copy, hope this helps.

If I had my turntable setup properly, I wouldn't mind ripping the entire album, but belt and needle need replacing. :( The above rip was done about five years ago.

Wow Mark, that is fantastic. Many thanks for the upload, and yes that was the song I was looking for. And you said that came from Vinyl? That sounded so clean and what an awesome restoration job you've done.

Re: Looking for Wildland - Late 80s Aussie group?

I Had the cd from whe it first came out... was a good album.great production for its time and still holds up well now.... Similar to a Noiseworks sound.. sold the cd on ebay recently and had a heap of bidders so it seems there are a lot of fans out there..... The Sun was the next best song on that album..

Re: Looking for Wildland - Late 80s Aussie group?

I picked up the one for unity 12 inch which is signed for
A Donna. If anyone wants the track I could get it out via an email. Happy to help
