5 out of 5 stars And I thought "Man of Colours" was their best effort.......2005-07-15

Like many in the U.S., I was introduced to Icehouse through "Man of Colours" in the late 80's. I have since collected all of their CD's through the internet but had the opportunity to pick up "Code Blue" while on business in Sydney. If you remove "Big Fun" this CD would be a perfect "10." The play list flows well with the next song an even bigger surprise. "Anything is Possible" is the song you can't get out of your head but "Jericho Bay" and "Charlie's Sky" are the jewels, providing strong lyrics and magicial bridges. Be sure to listen to the lyrics on each. The music is so engaging that they are often hidden but are strong enough to stand on their own. This is their best CD, not "Man of Colours."

4 out of 5 stars Very Underated.......2005-03-13

Man Of Colours (1987) was the Icehouse's most succesful album everywhere, so it's always expected when an album is good,to be followed by other one most 'personal'.

That's what Code Blue (1990) means. In this one, Icehouse decide to try with late 80's rock style (that had influence over the early 90s) mixed with all the influences taken through the time.

Code Blue give us a very rich playlist, so in the same Album, we've got 'rocker beach' party songs: Big Fun, Miracle Mile, Harbourtown (pure late 80s - early '90s style), the classic icehouse's Rock-Pop style: Where the River Meets The Sea, Jericho Bay (Very Good), and some experimentations: Wind and Sail (Excelent, it could remind us the Pink Floyd's 'A momentary Lapse Of Reason') and Charlie's Sky (a perfect close to the Album).

Maybe Code Blue is not considered a good Icehouse's album because the singles (Anything is Possible, Miss Divine and Where Ther River Meets The Sea) had not the success of the band's classics (Crazy, Electric blue..) but in my opinion, these songs (the code blue's singles) are not of the best in the album, and the album most be judgded by all the songs, not only these ones.

Of course not all the songs are good (personally i didn't like Anything is Possible and Miss Divine) but the disc really worth booth the whole music and some lyrics.

About the Bonus tracks, the 2 mixes don't are an interesting thing, but the demo version of 'Where the River Meets The Sea' definitely is better than the original, more clear and effective.

In my conclussion, Code Blue may let down people who only knows Icehouse by its big hits, but if you take a chance on it to listen, you will discover a great aussie's rock album

5 out of 5 stars Code Blue Rocks.......2004-09-19

This CD rocks from beginning to end - great music to clean house to, and if you stop dusting long enough to catch some of the lyrics you might appreciate it on a deeper level. It is a bit of a departure from previous Icehouse releases but no disappointment to THIS fan! If anything, it might be a little "too much fun". :-) "Where The River Meets the Sea" makes me want to go stand on the beach...and wait...

3 out of 5 stars Disappointing...not the follow up to Man of Colours expected.......2004-06-07

Icehouse tries a new sound and it doesn't quite work with fans. Although there are still some great tracks off the CD like "Harbour Town" and "Where the river meets the sea", but the CD lacks and leaves you scratching your head. But the Bonus track of "where the river meets the sea" is awesome, why didn't Iva Davies use the original demo in the first place? Its a mystery.

    2 out of 5 stars Remembering Past Enchantments And Past Ills.......2004-06-07

    Few composers outside of the classical canon have expressed the ineffable as beautifully as Ennio Morricone. The Italian Morricone, who has written scores of wildly varying quality for over 400 films, came to international prominence with and is still best - known in America for his "Spaghetti Western" scores of several classic Sergio Leone films of the Sixties, such as A Fistful of Dollars (1964), The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (1966), and Once Upon A Time In The West (1969).

    With the Leone scores, Morricone created musical pieces structured like complex mathematical equations, many of which were suffused with a driving, hypnotic, and archetypal power. In fact, the soundtrack for The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly was so dramatically dynamic that it thoroughly outstripped the finished film in terms of imaginative potential. Only with Once Upon A Time In The West did Leone create a film well crafted and realized enough to match Morricone's entrancing, playful, and occasionally perditious score. Similarly, Dario Argento's The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1969) almost completely failed to utilize Morricone's contribution, the best portions of which were heard only dimly and sporadically in the finished film. Leone's late masterpiece, Once Upon A Time In America (1984), two - thirds a perfect film, also failed to fully rise to the occasion of Morricone's simultaneously poignant, wistful, and wonderfully exuberant score.

    Today, Morricone's work is available on literally hundreds of soundtracks and soundtrack compilations dedicated to the composer, very few of which are entirely satisfying. An Ennio Morricone Anthology (1995), which contains 45 tracks from 39 films produced in Italy from 1965 onward, perpetuates this frustrating tradition.

    Of the 45 tracks, about a third represent Morricone realizing or approaching the height of his talent, another third are fairly interesting but ultimately repetitious and self-cannibalizing, and the final third, which may have worked reasonably well within the context of the films they were written for, never rise above the status of shrill, discordant, and bellowing kitsch (several attempt a Henry Mancini - like levity and fall flat). In fact, there is a great deal of healthy, raw, and leveling vulgarity even in some of Morricone's most famous compositions, such as "Le Vent, Le Cri" from 1981's The Professional and "Chi Mai" from 1971's Maddalena, both of which are included.

    Those seeking haunting compositions on the scale of "L'Estasi Dell 'Oro" or "Il Triello" from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly or "Poverty" from Once Upon A Time In America will be disappointed to find very few pieces approaching their caliber here, especially if already familiar with such well - known pieces such as "Moscow Farewell" from the 1987 film of the same name or the otherworldly "Il Gatto A Nove Code" from The Cat O' Nine Tails (1971).

    As compositions of vastly different quality are interspersed amongst one another in dizzying array, many may find An Ennio Morricone Anthology virtually impossible to listen to from beginning to end without skipping tracks repeatedly. As a genius whose greatest compositions address both the immanent and the transcendent, both perdition and salvation, both the archaic and the modern, Morricone and his admirers deserve a more carefully selected and thoughtfully produced anthology than this haphazard collection offers.

    5 out of 5 stars Delightful scores from Ennio Morricone.......1998-12-19

    Few composers in film music today are as greatly admired as Ennio Morricone whose scores for a wide range of screen fares and many Oscar nominations and wins have attracted the attention of fans all over the world. This compilation is one of the best and contains very fine original musics and rare tracks of this Italian composer.

    4 out of 5 stars Something for everyone.......2000-02-01

    Parts of "Wind and Sail" are reminiscent of "Man of Colours" (the track; not the album). Wind and Sail starts with quiet, dreamy vocals and an atmospheric celtic backdrop, and then picks up with the driving force of distorted electric guitars. Worth buying the album for "Wind and Sail" alone, in my opinion. The beginning of "The Great Divide" has great slide guitar, and some of the vocals are a little Doors-like. I've never understood why Icehouse are still so unrecognised in the music biz. This album proves that they can stand up there with the best of them. The whole album has more than its fair share of the kind of rhythms and melodies that make you want to either suddenly jump up and dance like a crazy person, or play air-guitar in your lounge. There really is something here for everyone.

    5 out of 5 stars Code Blue.......2000-01-12

    I've been a fan of Icehouse for over ten years since Man of Colours appeared in the U.S. with singles "Electic Blue" and "Crazy." Code Blue is a lot like Icehouse's Great Southern Land and its as good as, if not better than Great Southern Land. The lyrics on Code Blue are meaningful without being sappy or sentimental. The music is danceable and doesn't all sound the same. This is a cd that I have never gotten tired of listening to or bored with. The best track is #9 "Where the River Meets the Sea." After that, #2 Harbour Town", #3 The Great Divide", #4 "Wind and Sail", #8 "Miracle Mile", #11 "Jericho Bay" and #12 "Charlie's Sky" are all incredible. This cd is definitely worth having as a part of any collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Australia: positive and genuine.......1999-01-11

    This and Great Southern Lands together seem to set their own slant on Australia - it's people and the land. This is rare. It is not pretentious. There's a flood of junk around that claims to be, and isn't, 'uniquely Australian' - this manages to be without beating itself up. It is a far more positive album than its pair, and almost all of the tracks are excellent. Icehouse receives far less recognition than it should for albums like this. Particularly noteworthy are "Jericho Bay" (11), "Charlie's Sky" (12), "Harbour Town" (2). Track 9, "Where the River meets the Sea", is absolutely incredible. This would easily top my desert island list.
