I can't remember if I tortured jjjusten and FB with this album when we were in middle school or not
basically "white dudes doing MPLS sound pastiche" was one of my favorite things in the world circa 1987 (see also: "Right On Track" by The Breakfast Club)

stay tuned for my epic "Wa Wa Nee vs Pseudo Echo" poll
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 00:58 (twelve years ago)
Pseudo Echo were I think better looking... Wa Wa Nee lead singer was kinda crosseyed.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago)
I think I still have "Sugarfee" and "Stimulation"'s video clips on a VHS tape somewhere.
(not to mention Pseudo Echo. And Geisha. Oh dear god, its all coming back to me like a bad kebab)
― Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 01:56 (twelve years ago)
haaaaaah Geisha
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 02:32 (twelve years ago)
I was in the Geisha fanclub as a teenager.
...because shut up, thats why.
― Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 03:03 (twelve years ago)
Also FUK U DangP, because I just now found out I have"Stimulation" on my work music HD, so now I am listening to it ;_;
there is something extremely disingenuous about the sugar free video in that it is basically a synth pop song but the video features not one bloody synth

― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 03:09 (twelve years ago)
I feel like that Sugar Free video is like 2 minutes of actual footage...it's like the same 4 shots of the band a bajillion times

LOL Jim I <3 you for actually going and researching the phenomenom of 80s synth bands with guitars in the clips =)

I am very impressed by how his voice has held up even though it feels like the first song is made entirely out of treacle
― Dana Jel Pey (DJP), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 20:29 (four years ago)
You know, he's held up generally a fuck of a lot better than other 80s outfits. His stuff was surprisingly prog, for one thing!
"The Riddle" is a FUCKING WEIRD SONG.

Oh absolutely! But yeah the melodies are decidedly all over the place and very not-bog-standard-pop.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 15 April 2021 01:50 (four years ago)
I was very disappointed when I found out there was no answer to the riddle.
