Icehouse was nothing after this in my opinion. THis was his best..coolest and absolutely the best.. Who produced it? Wonderful. The crap that followed , from the haircut to the snare, the cheese to the 'tech', orrible...but making plenty of $$$ in USA..so fair play. This is a classic but you didn't miss much later.

First concert I ever went to. Festival theatre in Adelaide mid 1981, supported by Paul Kelly and the dots. They were still called Flowers then

1981 stoned off our faces moving in slow motion to the song. Incredible

Hastily wrote and recorded as an interim single in 1981. Great follow up to their debut album which got plenty of radio support on AM radio in its day. This track uses analog synth Prophet 5. Takes me back 3 decades.

I adore the keyboard in the verses...I adore this song period. I cannot fathom how they went to pot soon after this and by 1983 were doing Electric Blue rubbish and the guy had a horrible mud flap haircut...but this was oh so sweet. BUt thye got rich, he got rich etc., reached out to more plp etc., cudos...but image what he could have made if he used that sensibility going forward? Oh well...

Icehouse music is timeless. Always relevant and gives the newer stuff a run for their money....I am a bit over the 40th-anniversary stuff though....

Saw them at Sweetwaters in New Zealand...

The new band name 'Icehouse' should also appear in your title, as the 45 rpm single 'Love In Motion' was released in October 1981 after the name change, whereupon the band became darker and more introspective. This is a bonus track that never appeared on the original album, which I have.

it's good!

Ca c'est de la musique! Un morceau splendide doublé d'un excellent clip -video. On se demande pourquoi un bijoux pareil ne passais JAMAIS! sur les chaines tv de l'époque...! Des tv complètement Dépassées et sclérosées par le manque de gout,d'audace et de curiosité de leurs managers. Un vrai défaut culturel .Qui ont finis par s' endormir sur leurs propre bêtise, escamotant les vrais tallent en se contentant de nous passer des nullités comme Dire- strait ou Queen ou autres banalités du genre de Michael Jacksons...

One of the Sexiest songs ever made! Could listsn & do thing's to this song all night long😉

It's only synth rock'n'roll but I like it!

... and previously the video for We Can Get Together, at least in the US, which explains the presence of Smith and Welsh, and Lloyd who were gone from the band (temporarily in Lloyd's case), by the time Primitive Man rolled around.
