Earth And Sun And Moon  by Midnight Oil

Earth And Sun And Moon, from 1993, is the eighth studio album by Midnight Oil and marks a shift towards a more "earthy" and acoustic sound, without losing its political intensity. The recordings of Earth And Sun And Moon took place at Megaphon Studios from October 1992 to January 1993. The mixing was done at Albert Studios.

The album has been characterized as more rootsy and less "polished" than its predecessor, Blue Sky Mining. It combines elements from folk-funk and rock with heavy use of acoustic guitars and harmonica. The lyrics remain sharp, focusing on environmental devastation (Earth And Sun And Moon), colonialism, and the rights of the Aborigines (Truganini), which was the album's biggest hit (No. 10 in Australia) and refers to the last-surviving, as it was thought then, Tasmanian Aborigine. The artwork of the album cover is based on folk art of the native Huichol from Mexico.

The album reached No. 2 in Australia. Internationally, it entered the Top-20 in Switzerland and Sweden, the Top-30 in the United Kingdom, and was found at No. 49 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The band received three nominations at the 1994 ARIA awards, including the "Best Group" category.
