Sidewalk (album)


Sidewalk is the third studio album by Australian rock band Icehouse. It was originally released in June 1984, on the labels Chrysalis, Regular, and reached No. 8 on the National albums chart with singles "Taking the Town", "Don't Believe Anymore" and "Dusty Pages". Founding member Iva Davies used the Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer on this more sombre and reflective album.. This is the first album bassist Guy Pratt worked on as a member of the band. Pratt would later become a session musician, and go on to work with artists such as Pink Floyd, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Madonna and Michael Jackson.
In 2002, Warner Music re-released the album, digitally remastered by Davies and Ryan Scott, with four bonus tracks.
