[edit] Discography
I am currently working on pages for each album although some album information is hard to find. Perhaps we can work together in putting together a comprehensive discography. Please post any links to album information that we don't have here. Regards, Blackserenity 09:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
**All the albums including compilations have been added. I am going to sort them out and present them better on the main page. Will start work on Singles, EPs soon. Blackserenity 11:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- Singles: Pages for the singles on each album are needed. I will start working on them shortly but if anyone wants to do some go for it. Just remember to stick with the regular Wiki format and set out information like it is on the album pages. Blackserenity 13:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Song listing needs work.
Looking at this page it looks like there needs to be more detail given about their songs. So far there is some notes about them, but nothing in great detail.
Case in point is Great Southern Land and Don't Believe Anymore.
Now this is a band that still has had an impact on Australia and our culture, so it is a shame that there isn't much info there in the first place.
Edit, it looks like there is more info about Great Southern Land on YouTube then here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mkidP2OUCk --Squato
[edit] Misc
I seem recall reading they were dubbed "Ultrabruce" at some point, a combination of Ultravox, and Monty Python's ocker Bruce's --Charlie The Wonder Dog 18:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iva06.jpg
Image:Iva06.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Pioneers?
"They were early pioneers in the use of synthesizers and the Fairlight CMI in popular music."
But were they really, on either topic? This sentence is unsupported by any reference and doesn't stand up to scrutiny, in my opinion.
[edit] Pioneers in the use of synthesizers in popular music
I can't see this holds true. Their first single was released in 1980 and at that time, every New Wave and many post punk bands used synthesizers: Simple Minds, Gary Numan, InXS, Talking Heads, Ultravox ... the list goes on. It's a real stretch to call Icehouse "pioneers" on this point.
[edit] Pioneers in the use of the Fairlight CMI in popular music
Again, this appears to be a glib statement with no grounding in fact. When did Icehouse first use a Fairlight CMI? The video for "Taking The Town" shows a Fairlight being played, but that was on their Sidewalk album, released in 1984. Was it used on previous Icehouse recordings?
The Fairlight had been used in popular music much earlier, at least 1982 with Peter Gabriel's Shock The Monkey, and in 1983 with Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax. There are probably many more. Again, Icehouse don't appear to be pioneers with the Fairlight either.
I think this sentence should be removed unless it can be backed up by serious references. Msp0 (talk) 10:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
