Odyssey Oceania is an upcoming set of compilation/tribute albums from Neon and the Argie Bees, comprised of covers of 82 songs (and one bonus track) where the original artists, bands, and performers have originated from, or are based in, Australia and New Zealand, or the song is about the aforementioned countries in some way.

Four volumes are set to release, one focusing on the patriotic and pub rock anthems, another on mostly 2000s pop rock and emotional songs, a third containing alternative and experimental indie tunes, with the final volume being for miscellaenous tracks. While it is the case that these volumes have these themes to them, most of the covers have their genre changed from the original.

Truncated versions of each volume are also set to be released on streaming services, due to copyright issues where the rights to some songs could not be secured.

Background

Early title ideas for this album project included Oceanic Golden Nuggetz, Greener Than Gold, and With Love from Sydney. These names were later used for each volume's subtitle, along with famous Aussie chant "Oi Oi Oi!"

Rare songs such as The Monitors' "Singin' in the '80s" were prioritised for selection due to them not having their own Wikipedia article, or only having a couple thousand views or streams on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. It is hoped that this project will bring more ears to the original tracks.
