After ten years performing together, Ardijah released their debut album Take a Chance to platinum sales — and a 1988 NZ Music Award for Most Promising Group. One of three Top 10 hits off the album, 'Time Makes a Wine' is punctuated by a bright colour palette. Silhouettes, smoke and an upright bass add to the video’s visual appeal. A few questionable hairstyles aside, it’s the animation, reminiscent of classic a-ha video Take On Me (and only a couple of years after), that proves the most eye-catching. The song — and the band — featured in 1986 movie Queen City Rocker.
