5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, Mature=Best Icehouse Cd!, March 3, 2000

By 

"jukeboxbaby96" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sidewalk (Audio CD)

what a dark and also dreamy sound to "sidewalk", this one will take some listening to get use to! "Don't belive anymore" Imo is the best underated single of the 80's!, "dusty pages" is a perfect ditty. taking the town...uhhh well i think its just good, only. great 80's sounding songs like "shotdown" ,"this time", only weak song is the filler "the mountain" which has a nice closing, dreamy affect.A very serious album by iva davies!, guy pratt does a great job too! although this is a true 5 star album, new icehouse fans should seek "man of colors" first or "masterfile".

4.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten album, December 31, 2008

By 

Pastor of Disaster (Wexford, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sidewalk (Audio CD)

Even amongst Icehouse fans, this remains a forgotten album, and perhaps tune for tune, it isnt as strong as Measure for Measure, but the 2 could almost be a double album in the Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call mode, becasue the songs and production are similar. Really well worth adding to the collection if you can find it.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality studio recording, October 13, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Sidewalk (Audio CD)

This is one of the most timeless albums from Iva Davies. Ofcourse it has it's 80's fingerprint but non the less..timeless. The combination of the drum and basslines are stunning. The track " stay close tonight " shows this. The tracks " sidewalk "and " dusty pages " would fit right in todays top 10. Shame that Iva just won't release the album on which he has been working on for many years now. How can we possibly motivate him to share his work with us?
