Start the chant for a release of this album, and all of the following, on iTunes. "Best of" collections; meh -- I've destroyed by overuse two or three original copies of Icehouse/Flowers and Man of Colours; on ... cassette.. Dun make me trawl Dixon's for a CD copy of both :)

Wow. Just wow. Remix that honors the backbeat; orchestration, vocalisation and, fork it, "tradition" of the song. Other than the ugly edit jiggle at 2.47 (or 2.46 - two beats into one), superb. The result is stunning; but does sound mono, rather than multi-channel; maybe a tad too much ambien...

Just two songs can make me stop whatever I'm doing, lose my breath and freeze: this, and Split Enz's Poor Boy. Captivating.

Iva appears to be having some difficulty staying "in character", lol. Several "ah, gawd" directorial moments in that one. A Russell Mulcahy epic and budget it wasn't; but hell fun; and to be honest, I'd still kill for the sailor shirt and long red coat even today. Much love :) Thankyou Iva an...

Iva Davies: Sorry man, but that's the *ultimate* mullet. Gorgeous song; still in my top 10. But, more back-of-neck action than Tears for Fears has to be personally horrific. The mores of video; if only we knew back then what we'd think now :)

Spectate like nobody's watching :)

Around the era of the Rockalonga shows. Dragon headlined Icehouse. Maybe Rockalonga 88? Was biannial, iirc. Rocking shit, anyhoo. Thankyou: organisers, and bands.

I may be the most obtuse bitch on the planet; but, was this a celebration of earlier, better times? I loved this song when it first came out; but the footage of Marc and Todd on the hillside. /bawl.

Such artistry. Still makes me attempt impossible feats with my voice; 20 odd years later.

Thankyou.

Remember, when this vid first launched, lipsych wasn 't actually a musical crime.

Real Life, Uncanny x-Men, Balitmora, Dragon... I still hold my asymetrical haircut.
