Brooke Fraser would especially like to thank her manager Campbell Smith from CRS, who is also happens to be the CEO of awards organisers RIANZ, for personally awarding her the international achievement award. 'It was a real challenge to get all christian music fans in Australia to my gigs and to buy my albums', she said. 'much harder than it was for Savage to get a million downloads of his song on itunes in the home of Rap music - the USA'.

yeah you're right paul, and i know a lot of it comes down to taste and commercial value. I just rate screens extermely highly as an album. It has an very distinctive and unique creative vision and direction, which is one of the most important things a band can do. music should be about creativity, not trying to emulate other bands and their ideas. i don't understand what the point is of music like the midnight youth that just echos all the other trash on in the commercial sphere. I'm happy for ladyhawke too, but that's it.
