THE BERLIN TAPES ALBUM

1995 Australian release

The Berlin Tapes is a covers/soundtrack album. The record was a collaboration between Iva Davies and composer Max Lambert to accompany the Sydney Dance Company's production of the ballet "Berlin", for which Icehouse performed live on stage. The covers are mostly acoustic, with piano, strings and subtle electronica incorporated into most tracks.

It was re-released in Australia in August 2004 and re-titled as Heroes, coinciding with Seven Network's TV broadcast of the Athens Olympic Games. Heroes had two tracks removed and a second mix of "Heroes" added. "Heroes" (The Athens Mix), a cover of David Bowie's original hit, was released in August 2004 and peaked at #93 on the Australian singles charts.
