Icehouse
On their fifth album, the smooth pop style of Australia's Icehouse is garnished with even more bouncy synthesizers and lavish melodies than their earlier work. Lead singer Iva Davies elaborated slant is immediately forthcoming in all the tunes on this album, but is truly the best working part behind the group. Man of Colours' first two tracks ...

Meltdown

by
Icehouse
A remix album is a slightly more refreshing alternative to the cumbersome greatest-hits packages. Eight years after the remix album Full Circle, Meltdown offers various takes on Icehouse classics by the cream of Australia's DJs. Great efforts are made to update the Icehouse sound to a dance rather than art-obsessed generation and, as Iva Davies ...

Great Southern Land

by
Icehouse
While not as comprehensive as it could have been, Great Southern Land does contain a few of Icehouse's better songs, but as a best of it comes up way short. Taking tracks from Icehouse, Primitive Man, Sidewalk, and Measure for Measure, this 11 song compilation does present listeners with a firm feel of the band (smooth, engaging vocals atop rich ...

Icehouse
As an oboe/guitar player involved in electro popular music, it's no surprise Iva Davies took to Roxy Music, especially on "Street Café" and the mega-hit "Hey Little Girl," which duly landed in no less than 13 European Top Ten singles charts, going all the way in Switzerland. An album of atmospheres, "Great Southern Land" evokes images of Australia ...

Measure for Measure [Bonus Tracks]
(1986)

by
Icehouse
Based on the principles of balance, Measure for Measure is half-produced by David Lord, half by Rhett Davies. American and European editions benefit from a better track list, which opens with the Davies-produced "No Promises." A little too close to Bowie and Metheny's "This Is Not America," perhaps, but very nice all the same. "Cross the Border" ...

This is the second go 'round for the band's debut, which first appeared in Australia (their homeland) in 1980 when they were still called Flowers. Rooting themselves beyond their own shores meant changing their name to avoid conflict with another band already called Flowers (incredible) and remixing the album, a rite of passage for Australian ...

A five-track sibling of "primitive man" intended to entice buyers to the full effect. Depending on where in the world you live, only one or two are not available on the parent album. "Break These Chains" was culled for the European release (in favor of a re-recorded "Love in Motion") and "Over the Line" was the B-side for "Street Café." Both are ...

This was Iva Davies return from courtroom hell with former label Chrysalis. Someone should annoy Davies more often, because the result is the most energizing, electric music of his career. From their opener, Icehouse -- essentially the trio of Davies, Paul Wheeler, and David Chapman -- treat us to a frenzy of guitars, loops, filmic links, and ...

Sidewalk [Bonus Tracks]
(2002)
more music like this
by
Icehouse
On its original release in 1984, Sidewalk was a marked disappointment in comparison to its predecessor, Primitive Man. This reissue is made more notable due to additional bonus tracks: "Java," a slice of Oriental ambience and one of Iva Davies' strongest pieces of that period, makes its long-overdue debut on CD. Also new are "Dance On," a ...
