An aerial photograph of Barcelona’s Eixample district stopped me in my tracks. At first glance, all I could see was astonishing density—thousands of people living in an orderly grid that stretches to the horizon. Yet the longer I studied the image, the more questions it raised.

Split Enz, the Aussie/Kiwi punk/rock/vaudeville/swing band from the ‘7os and ’80s, released their first compilation album to mark their tenth anniversary, in 1983.
