3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing...not the follow up to Man of Colours expected, June 7, 2004

Icehouse tries a new sound and it doesn't quite work with fans. Although there are still some great tracks off the CD like "Harbour Town" and "Where the river meets the sea", but the CD lacks and leaves you scratching your head. But the Bonus track of "where the river meets the sea" is awesome, why didn't Iva Davies use the original demo in the first place? Its a mystery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, January 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Code Blue (Audio CD)

Parts of "Wind and Sail" are reminiscent of "Man of Colours" (the track; not the album). Wind and Sail starts with quiet, dreamy vocals and an atmospheric celtic backdrop, and then picks up with the driving force of distorted electric guitars. Worth buying the album for "Wind and Sail" alone, in my opinion. The beginning of "The Great Divide" has great slide guitar, and some of the vocals are a little Doors-like. I've never understood why Icehouse are still so unrecognised in the music biz. This album proves that they can stand up there with the best of them. The whole album has more than its fair share of the kind of rhythms and melodies that make you want to either suddenly jump up and dance like a crazy person, or play air-guitar in your lounge. There really is something here for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Australia: positive and genuine, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Code Blue (Audio CD)

This and Great Southern Lands together seem to set their own slant on Australia - it's people and the land. This is rare. It is not pretentious. There's a flood of junk around that claims to be, and isn't, 'uniquely Australian' - this manages to be without beating itself up. It is a far more positive album than its pair, and almost all of the tracks are excellent. Icehouse receives far less recognition than it should for albums like this. Particularly noteworthy are "Jericho Bay" (11), "Charlie's Sky" (12), "Harbour Town" (2). Track 9, "Where the River meets the Sea", is absolutely incredible. This would easily top my desert island list.
