Pseudo Echo "Autumnal Park" was a very important album to me. That and "Tyranny" by The Stabilizers along with "So Red The Rose" by Arcadia are the only 3 perfect new wave/synthpop albums from beginning to end. I have everything the Pseuds have released on cd (only excluding the Oz release of Love An Adventure) huge fan. I loved "Shine" by Kids In The Kitchen but the cd release is too expensive to replace my US cassette. I like Paul Colman Trio and Newsboys a lot too. Of course Rick Springfield, Icehouse, and Crowded House are faves. I also loved the stuff Stephen Mallinder of Cabaret Voltaire was releasing when he lived in Perth. (If that counts)
I forgot Jack Ladder Great singer 2 great records Hurtsville and Love is Gone great sound on those 2 records
I've got a pressed in Japan CD of Shine somewhere, didn't know that it has been reissued. Similar situation with Machinations CDs ... rare as hen's teeth, then there's a quick remaster that seems to be no longer available again. If only the early Spy Vs Spy CDs would be reissued. And I don't think Matt Finish's second album Word Of Mouth has ever been issued on CD (although first album Short Note is still available for cheap on CD). --Geoff
being over in the u.s. i totally understand how rare some aussie band cd's actually are, it is bizarre to me.
Just a week ago I found an early Mushroom cd of Paul Kelly's Gossip (at an estate sale, of all places), so it is possible to find them in the wild here occasionally.
i have to do the ebay and discogs thing, although i did see a paul kelly vinyl at an antique store once, i think it was under the sun
Rick Springfield. How did I forget him.? Doh! One of my favourites. His last two albums. Rocket Science and this year's The Snake King are as good as anything he's ever recorded!
same in Europe , there used to be some good distribution in the 90 's and up to mid 00's i guess but it has dried out , even majorlabel artist . Trying to find the new releases from You Am I , Tex Perkins , Paul Kelly or Ed Kuepper is impossible . mailorder only
