Kaleidoscope World collects all of the Chills' early singles, starting with their contribution to 1982's Dunedin Double, Flying Nun's first release, through their 1986 single "I Love My Leather Jacket. It's clear right from the start that Martin Phillipps was a special songwriter and he was able to inspire whatever group of musicians he had backing him to great heights. Phillipps saved some of his weirder inclinations for B-sides, and it's fascinating to hear the straightforward pop songs balanced with these experiments and offbeat tunes. The disc provides a look at the formative work of one of Flying Nun's best bands, which is saying a lot, and also helps Chills fans who may not have been quick enough on the draw to get the original singles a chance to have all these great songs in one easy-to-digest package.

It isn’t often that an album can center itself in on one song, and still come out looking good. The song at the core of New Zealand band the Chill’s 1986 album Kaleidoscope World is Pink Frost. Pink Frost is quite the opposite, with dampened, stolid guitars creating a unmatched melody.

The Chills after all spent decades snatching defeat from the jaws of musical victory, passing on the opportunity of global recognition after their 1990 album Submarine Bells and it's soulful masterpiece of single Heavenly Pop Hit, a career dogged by personal tragedies, break ups, illness and other less savoury, career blunting enervations. Like playing to fourty people half way around the world on a Monday night, Kaleidoscope World is an exercise in having perspective. As a document it lacks the gravitas of works from a similar period from fellow Southern Hemisphere bands such as The Go-Betweens and The Triffids. It's unlikely also that Phillips and co. will ever eclipse the nearly sensation which their major label dalliance gave them.
