• Welcome to Wherever You Are, released in August 1992, finds INXS pushing past the polished new-wave and funk tropes that defined their peak and heading into more experimental terrain. The band recorded much of the album at Sydneys Rhinoceros Studios with Mark Opitz, and the sessions feature unexpected textures: sitars, orchestral arrangements, and atmospheric treatments that broaden their palette. On tracks like Questions, Taste It, and Not Enough Time, INXS integrate groove with mood, while orchestral layers enrich anthemic numbers such as Baby Dont Cry and Men and Women. The album embodies a moment when the band aimed to evolve, wrestling with alternative trends without abandoning their identity.

  Though the record did not match the commercial heights of Kick or X in some markets, its ambition and internal coherency have earned it renewed appreciation over time. Critics frequently point to its boldness in tone and texture as evidence of a group unafraid to diverge. Standout moments such as Beautiful Girl, Communication, and orchestral ballads hint at a deeper maturity. For fans and newcomers alike, Welcome to Wherever You Are offers a complex, transitional work in INXSs discographyone that feels brimming with intention and creative risk.

  “Evidently, the pop audience didn’t care about INXS anymore, since nobody bought the album. And that is a shame, since it is one of their strongest.” AllMusic

  Its a music that attracts but hasnt the gravity or resonance to hold your attention. Rolling Stone

  A far more engaging and heartfelt collection than anything the group has put out in recent memory It rocks. Q
