"Man Of Colours" album is a pop masterpiece. I could listen to it from start to finish.

Netherlands here, I really liked this back in around october 1986. It was maybe a year after Take on me so for me it has the same autumn feel to it. It deserved it spot in the top10.

Their song “The Kingdom” is a favourite. Love this band & Iva Davies has an amazing voice. This is the best time machine we have to date. Takes me back to the 80’s time and places. Young & full of life & so much more life to be lived… then here we are in 2024 & all those years have passed by so fast. Love having the opportunity to go back in time and relive those fun times.

So you're writing a new song in your head as you listen. Interesting. This was a huge radio hit in Ireland in the late 80s. Our pirate stations used to play this all the time. Was a big hit in the US and their follow up "Electric Blue" was an even bigger US hit but I think it's the inferior song. This one is a 'banger', as the kids say. I'm actually surprised you didn't dig it all that much.

This time again, one of my favorite bands from the eighties even though their cds were hard to find in France at that time and still are . Iva Davies has an INCREDIBLE voice ! Obviously their greatest hit was "Hey little girl" but they have numerous good songs. My personal favorite was "Stay close tonight" unfortunately not even a single that gives me chills of pleasure each time I listen to it - totally hypnotic song - Well, to sum up : excellent band unfortunately too underrated in France.

Grate southern land, Ice House, No Promises, I Don’t Believe Anymore, Ice House and Electric Blue are all great Ice House hits. Keep in mind they were the Flowers on their first album, But their name was already used so they based their new name of their first album.

Perhaps Icehouse is not for everyone’s palate or perhaps I am biased, having lived my preteen years in the 80’s and revived my enjoyment of 80’s music through my young adulthood in the 90’s but this was and still is among my favourite 80’s power ballads/soft rock songs. Have a listen to “hey little girl”, “electric blue”, “no promises” and “great southern land”...

A good video, in that the meaning of the lyrics sung reflect the caller's fictional role. I'm not a fan of many music videos, but for the content and meaning of this one alone: a very good choice of song to review. The vocalists of the 1980s really have character and conviction - Icehouse no exception. Not quite a great song, but still a very good one. So praise to you all for this.

Yep, the Australian single (and the video) is much better than the US version here which I’m not “crazy” about either! The Australian version is much more punchy and less stripped back. But the song kicked off a period of massive success for Icehouse in Australia, “Electric Blue” reached #1 afterwards in late 1987 and the Man Of Colours album spent a massive 11 weeks at #1 and incredibly kept Michael Jackson’s Bad from reaching the top spot (peaked #2)! Also “Hey Little Girl” was one my Patreon requests from March this year and you seemed to like it much more Dereck!

Honestly I wonder if young kids have the attention span to really enjoy good music these days. He seemed to have trouble sitting still throughout. I blame tiktok for all of this haha. But in all seriousness, there does seems to be a need from gen z for constant over simulation. Anything too simple and not filled with a high variety of loud noises and flashiness seem to get overlooked. It is pretty disappointing, as I think there is a lot of beauty in this track that was missed. And it's a great track. But each to their own.
