Number 140: Pseudo Echo - Girl

Pseudo Echo was another of the Australian New Wave bands that came out of the sizzling Melbourne scene in the early 80s. Formed in mid-1982, Brian Canham and crew signed to EMI in June 1983 and released their blockbuster debut album, Autumnal Park, soon after. In early 1985 they returned with their follow-up LP, Love An Adventure. It was a success, hitting #14 on the Australian charts and #57 in the USA. My favorite song on the album is "Girl", which for some reason was not released as a single. What are those A&R guys thinking somtimes? Anyway, Pseudo Echo takes spot #140 on my Top 200 with the awesomely synth-heavy "Girl".
