Icehouse Primitive Man CD

EU remastered and expanded edition of the Australian band's 1982 sophomore album. Mainman Iva Davies recorded this release as a one-man band in Sydney and Los Angeles; he worked with Simple Minds/Billy Idol mentor Keith Forsey. The computer-based Linn drum/synthesizer sound was reminiscent of David Bowie, who hired Icehouse as his opening act in 1983. First single 'Great Southern Land' made the Australian Top 10 and remains the band's most popular song. Singles 'Hey Little Girl' made #17 and 'Street Caf?' #62 in Britain. Among the six bonus tracks are single versions, b-sides, a track from the same period, plus the 1994 version of 'Great Southern Land', remixed by Bill Laswell. Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes written by respected journalist Michael Heatley (Record Collector/Guitar & Bass). Expertly remastered. Superb sound! Repertoire. 2013.
