The band followed-up their big splash in 1989 with "Race," a record that strongly veered more toward the rock end of the spectrum. For me, it worked well and I like this album even more than its predecessor. For others, I guess they wanted more synth pop. "Fooled Again" is the lead off track that should have made this band from Down Under more than a one-hit wonder in the US.

"Fooled Again" by Pseudo Echo
There's always a risk when a band decides to change up its sound. In 1987, Australian synth pop band Pseudo Echo stormed up the US charts with their keytars in hand, landing at #57 with "Living In A Dream" and then hitting #6 with their rendition of "Funky Town." (Lipps, Inc. took this song to #1 for four weeks in 1980).
