Icehouse is garnished with even more bouncy synthesizers and lavish melodies than their earlier work. Lead singer

Man of Colours' first two tracks attached themselves to the Top 40, with "Crazy" peaking at number 17 in 1987 and "Electric Blue" reaching number seven in 1988, a song co-written by
John Oates. ~ Mike DeGagne
