Pseudo Echo – Love An Adventure

I’m embarassed to confess what got me to get this album on tape years ago. One word: “Funkytown”. Yes, this is the Australian group that did a cover of “Funkytown” around 1987 that went over fairly well. The rest of the album, though it’s thick with drum machine and synth sounds, is better than that song; truth be told, that song is now practically my least favorite. I was lucky to get a CD of this out-of-print album second-hand, so it may be very hard to get a hold of. The other single that I recall from this album is “Living In A Dream”, though the non-singles “Love An Adventure” and “Destination Unknown” are good ones as well. If you can handle the mid-80s electronic sound – and if you find early Depeche Mode palatable, you know what I’m talking about – you’ll like this.
