5.0 out of 5 stars Passes with "Flying Colours", March 5, 2002

I first heard this album when I was about 5 and I loved it. This was one of the first I heard from him. Sailing Away became one of my faveourite songs by him. Now at 17 and I still listen to his music. I can't put the CD's down.
I recently ordered 5 of his CD's...and they all sound great.
He has brought out at least 15 albums, all with different themes to them.
The Love Songs was one of the greatest, with So Beautiful as my fave song.
In my opinion, you should all get all of his CD's. May cost a bit of [money] but it's worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album will not leave you., February 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flying Colors (Audio CD)

I first heard the song, "Carry Me (Like a Fire in Your Heart)," in the closing scene to the final (or next to final) episode of 'Miami Vice' when it first aired. I knew it was Chris DeBurgh, but had never heard it before. The song captured perfectly the mood of Crockett's and Tubbs' loss of the dream of being able to make a difference in law enforcement. When I finally bought this CD, it stayed in my player for a week straight. The songs are powerful, and build to a stirring conclusion, reminiscent of his album, "The Getaway." A few songs, such as "Missing You," may require multiple listenings before they can be fully appreciated, because they lean towards Deburgh's sappy side. However, they lend a respite from the emotionally charged gems contained on the CD that will leave you speechless.

What a fine collection of Chris DeBurgh tunes, I especially like Missing You, Tender Hands, and Sailing Away. The whole album is a great collection. I am a new Chris De Burgh fan, and will be a fan forever now.
