Enjoyable obscure album

Band: LMNOP

Album: Elemen Opee Elpee (1986)

Light, enjoyable, tuneful '80s college radio pop, with reasonably intelligent lyrics, without being ''intellectual'' about it. :)

Bought the LP in the ''Misc New Wave'' bin at the local used record store, in my early college days. Dubbed it to cassette, and listen to it now and again. Good stuff -- to my ears. YMMV.


More info here, and here, and here.

Apparently available here. (And possibly here.) (Note that according to one of the reviews, his stuff gets darker and grittier in the later albums...)


Addendum:
Spooky that I actually did these searches on 9/16/08, American-time -- and the second link (to the blog entry) was for the same day, but two years ago -- and also on a Blogspot-hosted blog. Spooky!

Hey ! Thank you Gye for the cool comment on action-time.
Sure I'll go looking for theses pop rock references.
Keep in touch !

ps : I do love aussie music (60' and 80's.)
I'm fond of Sunnyboys for instance.
