Our Take

In the grand tradition of British music legends, The Buggles burst onto the scene with their cheeky debut album, "The Age Of Plastic." And let me tell you, this record is as quirky as it gets.

From the iconic track "Video Killed The Radio Star" to the synth-laden "Living In The Plastic Age," Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes deliver a fun and futuristic journey through the world of 80s pop. The songs are catchy, the production is slick, and the whole album is just dripping with that signature Buggles charm.

But don't be fooled by the seemingly lighthearted exterior - there's a depth to this album that's not immediately apparent. Tracks like "I Love You (Miss Robot)" and "Johnny on the Monorail" delve into themes of technology, identity, and the rapid changes of the modern world. It's a record that's as thought-provoking as it is toe-tapping.

Overall, "The Age Of Plastic" is a delightful snapshot of a time when synth-pop ruled the airwaves and everyone was dreaming of a futuristic utopia. The Buggles may have been ahead of their time, but their legacy lives on in this album. So grab your neon leg warmers, crank up the volume, and let The Buggles take you on a whimsical journey through "The Age Of Plastic."

About the artist

The Buggles

Ah, the Buggles - the quirky duo that gave us the iconic hit "Video Killed the Radio Star". This synth-pop duo, consisting of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, burst onto the music scene in the late 1970s, leaving an indelible mark on the industry with their catchy hooks and futuristic sound. Trevor Horn, with his distinctive glasses and larger-than-life persona, brings a sense of theatricality to the Buggles' music. His smooth vocals and knack for crafting infectious melodies are complemented perfectly by Geoff Downes' masterful keyboard skills. Together, they create a sound that is both retro and ahead of its time, blending elements of new wave, electronic, and pop music into a unique sonic concoction. Despite being known primarily for "Video Killed the Radio Star", the Buggles have a rich discography that showcases their range and versatility as musicians. Tracks like "Living in the Plastic Age" and "Elstree" demonstrate their ability to write thoughtful, introspective lyrics while still maintaining their signature sense of fun and irreverence. In a world where trends come and go at the speed of light, the Buggles have managed to stand the test of time, their music still resonating with audiences decades after its initial release. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that the Buggles have had on the music world - and with their infectious energy and undeniable talent, it's easy to see why they remain a beloved and enduring presence in the industry.
