The eponymous debut album from Man On Fire is an ambitious amalgam of all the best elements of dark, moody pop, new wave, rock, and neo-progressive music. The sound borrows from an intriguing mix of sources -- a 'Japan' influence coming across particularly strong -- with Mick Karn-like fretless bass appearing throughout the CD. Eric Sands (from the Generation Ibanez Project) provides strong, heavy electric guitar work, broadening the audience for the Peter Gabrial-influenced material to include fans of ripping six-string solos. Keyboardist/vocalist Jeff Hodges assimilates and blends electronics with the brooding synth-sheened arrangements, which results in Man On Fire's neo-progressive categorization. Progressive/Pop, total running time, 65:21 - Man On Fire @ iTunes!
