Primitive Man is an album by the Australian band Icehouse, released in 1982.
After the Top 20 chart success of "Hey Little Girl" the album was re-released in the United Kingdom as Love in Motion. Love In Motion contained the same songs in different order with "Break These Chains" being replaced by the song "Love in Motion."
The album represented a slight departure from earlier material and a move from the more rock based style of their first album to the synth based, more atmospheric albums such as Measure for Measure and Sidewalk.
This style is exemplified in "Hey Little Girl", a very relaxed, introspective song which reflects the overall tone of the album punctuated by the heavier "Glam" and the more dance based "Mysterious Thing".
Currently this album is only sold by Australian companies.[citation needed]
