Pseudo Echo has everything that was awesome about '80s synth music. These guys were right in the same wheelhouse as Ultravox, Simple Minds, or OMD, or ABC (sort of) - well, a lot of bands, even Depeche Mode but not really, more like Psychedelic Furs. I find it strange that when the big dump of acts from Australia that overwhelmed the airwaves here by bands like Ice House and The Church, that Pseudo Echo wasn't in that mix, they were really good. Sure, one could argue they were a little derivative, I'd argue that when hair metal was a thing that was the height of derivative rock - and I loved an awful lot of it. Apparently their version of "Funkytown" was big in Canada, but I don't remember it - at all. At the time I didn't realize the original album was released in Australia in 1985 with a different track order. By the time this was released here in 1987 it suffered the same fate as Angel City's Face to Face - it was a cobbled together effort to gain...
A place where I just blather on about shit I either miss, or am excited about, or just found and want to share. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally don't know what I'm talking about, but sometimes I do. This generally reads like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the images ... mostly it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
