Flaming Fire is one fucked up band. If you like twisted, mental pop music you need to seek out this album. They are indeed strange and innovative and at times, completely insane. There is no real category for this band. There are times when you think you are going to go nuts listening to Songs From the Shining Temple but you keep going, afraid that you might miss something. Somehow they have figured out how to mix punk, post-rock, avant-garde and even pop to create some of the most outrageous songs I have ever heard. Projects like this usually don't deserve reviews but Flaming Fire has this thing figured out (I think). It's catchy and listenable, for the most part. There isn't much info in their bio about where they come from or their background. Flaming Fire consists of two females, Lauren Weinstein and Kate Hambrecht as well as three males, Patrick Hambrecht, John Mathias and Jonny A. Samples are abound in and out of songs but it's the play between the male and female vocals that heighten your senses. I found this a very enjoyable release and feel that others may benefit from this album. Oh, and some may just get pissed off and throw this CD away.
