Oceans Apart has been included in shortlist for a new Australian music prize worth $25,000.

The Go-Betweens are one of eight acts vying for the inaugural Australian Music Prize (AMP) to be announced at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney on March 8.

The short list was drawn from 221 entrants from across Australia, including independent artists as well as those with major recording contracts

I think its fair to say Oceans Apart has received more recognition in Australia than any previous Go-Betweens album.
