Love an Adventure by Pseudo Echo
Love an Adventure is an album by Pseudo Echo, released in 1985. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Funkytown”, on 2 lists with a best position of #79.
Love an Adventure, Pseudo Echo's second album, came out on EMI in Australia in 1985: dance-floor new wave with glossy synths and big, bright hooks, from a band led by singer, guitarist and keyboard man Brian Canham. At home it climbed to No. 14 and threw off three top-20 singles, among them "Don't Go", which reached No. 4.
Then came the cover. A 1986 reissue added their take on "Funkytown", Lipps Inc.'s 1980 disco hit, which went to No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand and into the top ten in the US, the UK, Canada and Sweden. When the album finally reached North America in 1987, it came with a reshuffled track list, re-recordings of three songs from Autumnal Park and, on later pressings, "Funkytown" in place of "Don't Go".
