Pseudo Echos third album, Race, went away from their Ultravox-influences and in the direction of pop rock and metal. The album featured the Australian singles "Fooled Again", "Over Tomorrow", "Eye of the Storm", and "Don't You Forget". The album wasn't very successful, as the band's move to a more rock/metal genre had apparently alienated a good portion of their established fanbase
Track listing:
1. Fooled Again
2. Over Tomorrow
3. Caught
4. Imagination
5. Don't You Forget
6. Runaways
7. Searching For A Glory
8. Take On The World
9. Metropolis
10. Eye Of The Storm
Ray Brown & the Whispers were in the vanguard of the first wave of Australian beat pop, from 1964-67, and during their brief career they were one of the most successful and celebrated bands in the country. Aided by his boyish good looks and considerable charm, singer Ray Brown ranked alongside Stevie Wright, Billy Thorpe and Normie Rowe as one of the most popular stars of the period, and The Whispers are now widely recognised as being one of its most accomplished bands. Although they enjoyed unprecedented success at the time, the group was short-lived, and their contribution to Australian music, both during and after the beat boom, is still sadly under-appreciated.
Thanks to Kerry

No this is not the American heavy metal band of the same name. WESTWORLD was a mid-late 80's British band with an American singer. The Aussie link is that the CD was pressed only in OZ
I heard this band long before I knew of THE ELECTRIC PANDAS, but I think the two singers are very similar sounding. Tell us what you think. (note - Lin of the Electric Pandas has a new CD out with her new band BULLYGIRLS - buy it here:www.bullygirls.com.au/)
