Long Deleted Icehouse Soundtracks Re-Released

A film and ballet score have been packaged together.

More ICEHOUSE More ICEHOUSE

Two of the more obscure releases from the Icehouse catalogue will be getting the reissue treatment as the classic Aussie rock band's new material continues to be given a new lease on life.

The two new re-releases are scores that the band's driving creative force Iva Davies put together in the mid-1980s; the soundtrack to the 1984 film Razorback and the score for the hugely successful 1985 ballet Boxes, which Davies wrote with then-Icehouse guitarist Bob Kretschmer.

“Neither album has been available digitally before and the CDs have been out of pressing for many years. I've constantly been asked when these would be available," Davies said about the re-release. "This being the 30th Anniversary of Razorback, it seemed like a good time to get the music out again and with the help of George Ash and the team at Universal Australia, we've made it happen”.

The Razorback soundtrack earned Davies an APRA award for Most Performed Australasian Music for Film, while Boxes is considered to be the Sydney Dance Company's most successful ballet ever.

Both albums are available on CD as a double album set and on iTunes now.
