Measure for Measure, the fourth studio album from Australia's Icehouse, came out in April 1986, on Regular at home and Chrysalis in the States, and it was one of the first three albums ever recorded entirely digitally. Rhett Davies produced it, and as ever the band orbited Iva Davies, the singer-songwriter who plays guitar, bass, keyboards and even oboe, with Robert Kretschmer and Stephen Morgan in the lineup.
Icehouse had done as much as anyone to push synthesisers into Australian pop, and here the machines gleam: cool, glassy new wave with a big widescreen chill, "Cross the Border" striding through the middle of it. It sits between Boxes and Man of Colours, the album that would come next.
