5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy, outstanding in it's genre...totally awesome, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

I will never forget the hold "Electric Blue" had on me then, and still has on me now. I also love the Midnight mix of "Crazy", a haunting mix of the original just makes my spine tingle. All of the music on this album should have set the standards for music in it's genre...And fell bad that it didn't

5.0 out of 5 stars A Keeper From the '80s, May 31, 1999

By A Customer

I splurged on the tape after "Electric Blue" hit the airwaves, then promptly wore it out. From the romantic "Crazy" to the story-song "Man of Colours" to the epic-rock "Sunrise," the music is consistantly good - an amazing feat in an era characterized by one-good-song albums (remember GTR, Dexy's Midnight Runners, or T'pau?) The lyrics rise above the usual pop fluff or obscurity-as-profundity. Overall, an excellent recording.

4.0 out of 5 stars Icehouse: 1987, the year they made contact, June 2, 2003

By	"bangyourdrum" - See all my reviews

Remember 1987? that year all the big bands released there finest stuff (U2, Midnight Oil, Inxs, George Michael, etc..) well Icehouse was 1 of those bands too! Man Of Colors Starts off w/ the smash hit single "Crazy" , Followed by there biggest Hit "Electric Blue" , co written by John Oates. Other note worthy singles also fill out this album "My Obession & Nothing Too Serious" respectively. The "Title Track" is a beautiful ballad & "The Kingdom" is a surprise of pop intensity. The only problem I have w/ Man Of Colors is that it sounds too much like sell out. this album is the place to start for ALL new Icehouse fans.
