Reviews Customer Reviews for Ghost Of Time      Great Southern Land Reborn      Rating:      Iva Davies was/is the lead singer and mastermind of Australia's Icehouse. Commissioned for Australia's Millenium celebration ceremonies, this beautifully orchestrated CD reinvents the classic Icehouse track, Great Southern Land into a four part masterwork. Davies' orchestral work with The Sydney Dance Company and The Berlin Tapes album comes shining through here. The openning track sounds so familliar, then the symphony kicks in and Davies' vocals begin, and you are just captured. No wonder the Aussies chose this song.     Customer Reviews for Ghost Of Time Cd      Down-under Big-thumbs-up!      Rating:      This one of the best performance of a great and famous song, "Great Southern Land". You may call it a chant or a hymth, or maybe its better to call it the lead song for a country that been know by the world by the Olympic Games that took place in Sydeny. Icehouse, and its lead singer, songwriter and master-musical-mind, Iva Davies gives us a retrospective into the heart of Australia. First, he moves us via a the lyrics and words of his song "Great Southern Land", now with an orchestral arrange. Then he guides us in the a quest to find Australias darkest and more cultural origins, combining original aboriginal words and noises with orquestral manuevers and technology. Iva, also, a perfectionist in the art of the recording, put special care in this cd, in the mix and in all the production. If you want a cd that reflex this 2000, and Millenium search "for something", you should by this rare but very special down-under extravaganzza.
