Synopsis

Album Description

Heroes is a meditation on the nature of music. It consciously takes songs written and performed by bands and individuals who have been at the centre of pop fashion (Sinatra in the 1940s and 1950s, The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Roxy Music and David Bowie in the early 1970s, XTC and Talking Heads in the late 1970s-early 1980s, and The Cure, Simple Minds, Killing Joke and The Psychedelic Furs in the 1980s) and recrafts them so they are truly timeless. Warner. 2004.

CD Reviews

Perfect

E. E. Seiler III | Indialantic, FL United States | 10/09/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the most perfect cover album ever.

Wonderful song selections done in a unique fashion. The sound is perfect- very clean- and the vocals make the case for Iva Davies as the premiere male vocalist of our generation.

Buy it, you will be happy

"

Same as The Berlin Tapes but with the Athens Mix bonus.

Jose Curiel Hinojosa | Mexico City | 09/04/2007

"I have been an Icehouse / Iva Davies fan for a long time. For me The Berlin Tapes is on my top 10 ever. This Heroes album contains the same songs (except the song Disappointed) and the Heroes Athens mix.

It is very good but I will always prefer The Berlin Tapes since "Heroes" was launched with previously released material but taking the Olympics as a marketing advantage.

Well, back to the album as I have mentioned the songs and their performances are really amazing; with great quality and very deep instrumental arrangements."
