Pseudo Code - The Third EP FLAC

In the Insane Music family of bands I rank Pseudo Code to be my absolute favorite band, next to Human Flesh and Cortex (obviously). Its not easy to say what I like about Pseudo Code, but its probably that fine combination of electronic music, experiment and still, at times, a song like structure. Its one of those bands I wouldn't have minded in releasing a multiple CD box myself with their complete works. Yet some of that has recently come to light, such as the re-issue of the LP 'Europa' on CD, which also included their first two 7"s, from 1980 and 1981. Now, thirty years later its time for their third 7", aptly called 'The Third EP', and many thanks to the continuing efforts of EE Tapes to release music from Insane Music bands. Pseudo Code play emotional music. Held together by the simple tick of a rhythm machine, synthesizer and organ (all played by Alain Neffe), the pianet of Guy Marc Hinant and the howling high voice of Xavier S, they go through all emotions, from the almost happy 'Can I Kiss You' to the sad faraway version 'Far Away From My Own Land' (also in a different version on their first 7"), or the mellow 'Baby Burn Out'. 'Dance, Dance On The Radio' we may see as a short tribute to Joy Division's 'Transmission', in a one minute and five seconds summing it up. Now, we don't get Peter Hook to do that, are we? Excellent 7".
Is there, still, more Pseudo Code?

“Class” of ‘81
4 songs from the legendary Belgian cult combo Pseudo Code, NEVER released before, now collected on “The Third EP”! Sensible readers know what to do, RIGHT NOW! For all others: the extended version of the review …
Song 1, the first mix of “Can I Kiss You ?”, is driven by the insane squeals of Xavier S. and the strange/peculiar bleeps and sounds from a Casio VL-Tone and other fine instruments. “Baby Burn Out” pukes “eighties” and crying babies all over your shoes and all of this in an elegant and harmonic way. “Far Away From My Own Land” takes it easy and is probably the most beautiful and exotic song on “The Third EP”: something distant, in an Alain Neffe costume, the stuff that dreams are made off, warm, bright and sunny. A longing perhaps, for at least something else and probably something MORE and BETTER. Not many words, loads of content and emotion, a lot to like! “Dance, Dance On The Radio” lasts 1 minute and 5 seconds and is one of the weirdest and vague “Transmission”-adaptations I’ve ever heard … “Transmission” stripped to its bare “dissonant” essence.
Pseudo Code offers food for mind and soul, demands an effort from its listeners and experiments on high and melodic/emotional level! “The Third EP”, as you already understand, is a beautifully packaged MUST HAVE, limited to 250 copies. Order now!
Thank You EE Tapes, once more!
