"If you're an Australian buyer looking to replace your original vinyl copy of this album from 1985, beware. This is not what you're looking for. This is a combination of 6 tracks from Love An Adventure, 3 tracks from Autumnal Park and the addition of the smash hit single Funkytown all for the benefit of the US market. To date, the original Love An Adventure (to my knowledge) is not available on CD.



This is definitely a showcase of the best of Pseudo Echo, and if you're just after something great to listen to, you're in for a treat. My personal favourites - Living In A Dream and Lies Are Nothing. Two fabulous songs that just pick you up and sweep you along with their momentum.



Pseudo Echo's first release, Autumnal Park is a much more serious sounding album. The tracks included are A Beat For You, Listening (their very first single) and Destination Unknown. Everything else on this CD is just so much fun to listen to. It's all great music anyway!"

A fun album

"Love an Adventure is the second full-length album from Pseudo Echo. It was released in 1987. It sports ten tracks--one of these being a cover of "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. The material is in a pop rock musical direction. Overall, the songwriting is solid, the musicianship is tight, and the sound quality is satisfying. A nice mixture of guitar/keyboard work is displayed. Brian Canham's vocals are smooth and likeable. The keyboarding--provided by James Leigh--is pleasing. My favorite songs are "Try," "I Will Be You," and "Lonely Without You." The spirited "Try" exhibits a nice intro and cool keyboard playing from Leigh. The sleek "I Will Be You" furnishes a gratifying intro keyboard melody from Leigh and a refrain that is atmospheric and pretty. The plaintive "Lonely Without You" features an attractive chorus. The CD insert includes the song lyrics. The disc is almost 43 minutes. Love an Adventure is recommendable."

"Most people only know the Australian group Psuedo Echo for their cover of "Funkytown", but the album is full of great rock-pop tunes. "Listening" and the title track are two of the best selections."
