Interesting stuff. The vocals sound a lot like Nile Rodgers (maybe conciously). Sounds like a Free/Bad Company song with synths.

I LOVE ICEHOUSE. I picked up all the recent remasters when they came out even though I already owned a lot of the original CD's already. I was livid to see, though, that the original album version of "Crazy" from Man of Colours was replaced by the singl

Hey Bowie - funny you mentioned the Japanese imports. I actually found a used copy of the Japanese version of The Berlin Tapes prior to it being re-released. It had bonus tracks on it but different ones than the remastered version.

Yes, the "Crazy"

I love Icehouse too. I think the best Icehouse period was when they did the songs We Can Get Together, Icehouse, Can't Help Myself, and Walls.

"Not My Kind" off their first album was a big favorite. That album was a classic, IMO.
