The Exponents "Sex & Agriculture" - The Very Best Of The Exponents, DCD ed. 2005

...Warner also released the 1996 one-off single 'Do You Feel In Love', but the band moved to Sony Music in 1997 for their sixth studio album, Better Never Than Late, which was produced by former Split Enz keyboardist Eddie Rayner with The Exponents. It peaked at No.3 but didn't stay in the charts long. The Exponents' final album of the decade, 1999's, Hello, Love You, Goodbye, was an odd beast. Gent left the band and Steve Simpson stepped in on bass for the album's eight live tracks (from a show at the Poenamo Hotel in Takapuna) and six new studio songs. It peaked at a less-than-lofty No.48 and the band broke up, with Barraclough returning to Australia to join Mental As Anything....
...Luck pulled together his own touring bands – first Luck the band, then the Jordan Luck Band – before the four original Exponents reformed in 2005 to record two new songs, 'Geraldine' and 'Or A Girl I Knew', for the Universal Music compilation Sex & Agriculture: The Very Best of the Exponents (again, Holt was instrumental in the release), which sold platinum. Luck became the first songwriter to be inducted into the APRA NZ Music Hall of Fame in 2007 and the original Exponents reformed again in 2010 for the Band Together benefit concert for Christchurch earthquake victims. Christchurch was also the scene of a one-off show the next year to mark the band's 30th anniversary, along with another Universal release, Why Does Love Do This To Me: The Exponents' Great Hits.
2013 saw a flurry of activity. The Notable Pictures documentary The Exponents was screened on Prime TV in May and Universal digitally re-issued Live at Mainstreet, Amplifier, Prayers Be Answered, Expectations, Something Beginning With C and Grassy Knoll – the last four sweetened with rarities, B-sides and live recordings. A new album, Eight Days at Roundhead, captured in the documentary, saw them take on some of Luck's earliest songs for the band...to be continued... - audioculture
