stay tuned for my epic "Wa Wa Nee vs Pseudo Echo" poll
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 00:58 (eleven years ago) link
Pseudo Echo were I think better looking... Wa Wa Nee lead singer was kinda crosseyed.

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)

I was in the Geisha fanclub as a teenager.
...because shut up, thats why.

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 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

There was a lot of that going round in the 80s iirc.

i managed to find an icehouse video from countdown where they deigned to actually show a prophet 5 so i'm happy

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)
compiling the best of this stuff would be an 'interesting' arcival project - there must be a fuckin' ton of it
― thirstin' maw (haitch), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 03:56 (eleven years ago) link
LOL Jim I <3 you for actually going and researching the phenomenom of 80s synth bands with guitars in the clips =)
― Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 04:08 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that's hardcore

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 (two years ago) link
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.

and obv it also rules
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 15 April 2021 01:48 (two years ago) link
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 (two years ago) link
I was very disappointed when I found out there was no answer to the riddle.
