The Berlin Tapes is a covers / soundtrack album by Australian rock musician Iva Davies and his band Icehouse. The record was a collaboration between Davies and classical music 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. The record was initially released as a single or double disc set, with the second disc consisting of instrumental Icehouse tracks performed with the ballet. A 1996 Japanese re-release included three bonus tracks; a 2002 digitally remastered version with five bonus tracks was released in Australia – this time credited simply to Icehouse. It was re-released in Australia in August 2004 and re-titled as Heroes (see second infobox at below right), coinciding with Seven Network's TV broadcast of the Athens Olympic Games, which 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.
