“Love an Adventure”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Love an Adventure is the second studio album by Australian new wave band, Pseudo Echo. The album peaked at No. 14 in Australia and produced three Australian top twenty singles, including "Don’t Go", which peaked at No. 4.

In 1987, an alternate version of the album featuring re-recorded vocals and several different tracks, including their 1986 worldwide hit cover of "Funkytown," was released in North America by RCA Records.

Background

Following the success of Autumnal Park, Pseudo Echo returned to the studio in 1985, with an altered line up. Tony Lugton and Anthony Argiro both left and joined other bands. They were replaced by brothers James Leigh and Vince Leigh (aka Vincent Dingli).^[1]

Reviews

Michael Sutton from allmusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying: Their cover of Lipps Inc.'s ‘’Funkytown’’ was sadly misrepresentative of the album's stylish, hook-loaded dance rock.

Pseudo Echo want people to move their feet and this album is stocked with dancefloor scorchers such as "Living in a Dream", "Listening" and the funky "Try". "Funkytown" may have given Pseudo Echo a glimpse of commercial success, but the rest of 'Love an Adventure' proved that they were capable of more.^[2]

Credits

Additional musician credits on Australasian release

Note: Although none of these additional musicians/vocalists are credited on the North American version of the album, certain brass instruments are clearly audible on such songs as the title track ("Love an Adventure") on the American version. It is unclear which additional players appear on this version.

In addition, while Vince Leigh is pictured/credited on the North American release, the band's previous drummer, Anthony Argiro is pictured on the back cover of the Australasian version.^[8] Given that many of the same tracks appear on both versions, it is unclear which tracks feature Leigh and which feature Argiro.
