Mental As Anything - Fundamental As Anything (1985)

"Fundamental As Anything" is the 5th studio album released by Australian rock/pop group Mental As Anything. The album, produced by Richard Gottehrer was released on Regular Records in March 1985, which peaked at #3 on the Australian Kent Music Report albums charts. The first single from the album, "You're So Strong" (March 1985), which peaked at #11 in Australia also charted in the Top 30 of the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart. It was followed by their biggest Australian hit "Live it Up" (May 1985) which climbed to #2. The album spawned two additional singles, "Date with Destiny" in September and "Big Wheel" in November. "Live it Up" reached the Top 40 in European charts including the UK where it peaked at #3, #4 in Norway, and #6 in Germany, after it featured in the 1986 Australian film "Crocodile" Dundee.
~Wikipedia
Though not as fabulous as their previous effort, Creatures of Leisure, Fundamental comes awfully close. With legendary producer Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, Yachts, etc.) at the controls, the Mentals' fifth album was their most commercial yet. Though Wayne Delisle's sure and steady drumming is muddled in fake drum sounds, the band is still on fire and serving up oodles of great songs. This time, keyboardist Greedy Smith dominates with some of the band's biggest hits, including "You're So Strong," "Date With Destiny," and the perfect pop of "Live It Up." Martin Plaza lights up the album by penning "Big Wheel," "Bus Ride," and "Good Friday" and lends his awesome pipes to Peter O'Doherty's "Hold On" and Reg Mombassa's "Splashing." O'Doherty and Mombassa handle a few of their own songs as well, making this another showcase for all five talented members. Though it has the most "dated" production of all their albums, Fundamental is an apt title to say the least. Another great album from one of Australia's finest outfits.
