The buggles were innovaters of the synth sound of the late 70's. Best rembered for their huge hit "Video Killed the Radio Star" they also had hits with 'The Plastic age' & 'Clean Clean'. This was the first of two albums they produced. Mainly a duo trevor horn went onto have great success as a producer of Fankie Goes to Hollywood. This album still sounds excellent although some feel it has dated. A stand out track is 'Johnny on the Monorail'. If you are a fan of the Human League or ABC you will like this. Recommended for old new romantics who want to remember the 80's. Their other Cd was ' Adventures in modern recording ' and has is not easily available in the UK something hopefully the record company will address.
