Why, why would Iva Davies do this? A live dub version of one of Australia's greatest bands? If you're hoping this was going to be any good, sorry. Sure, the opening Exodus/Great Southern Land medley wins in a jivey dub redo, but then Electric Blue comes in and... oh, God. Ok, fine: Hey, Little Girl/No, No, No does rock out; Buffalo Soldier/Street Cafe (with guitar from Iva's son Evan) does have a certain pub rock charm to it. Though Icehouse have been aiming this way for a while, there's just too much gimmicky goofiness to take this seriously.
