The Associates - Heart of Glass - A non-album single and Blondie classic with Billy Mackenzie sporting a beret in a cool Che Guevara kind of way and not in a Frank Spencer way. Ooh Betty.

^ Yes, I like a bit of Jangle Pop to brighten up a dull day, so The Lotus Eaters are now added to the list.

Would you consider 'The Lotus Eaters' as an addition to the list Paul?
'The First Picture Of You' - a lovely single, although I have never seen "flowers screaming their joy".  I still have the single, bought in Woolworth's back in 1983!

THE ASSOCIATES Scottish band The Associates went through a couple of name changes - including The Ascorbic Ones & Mental Torture - before arriving at The Associates. Their lead vocalist Billy Mackenzie (1957-1997) has one of the most distinctive high tenor voices in Synth-Pop, sounding like Scotland's answer to Russell Mael of Sparks. 1980: The Associates - The Affectionate Punch - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lHsJ0RElWkxwIMNk3MiYH6lcwoDS9gq_A 1982: The Associates - Sulk - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k-ivyNcvL0zovevkCxXVPzkz4X5J8zb-4 1985: The Associates - Perhaps - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n4tVd9ABhVTTxdqzVNNlatIV3oIUy9rjA 1990: The Associates - Wild and Lonely - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kMVPvw_SPzKOAGnWQC7UPO4DjbLCWzH1INo idea what Party Fears Two is all about, but who cares, and have you ever seen a cooler-looking keyboard player? - apart from Professor Brian Cox of D-Ream, obviously.

^ That's quite an eclectic line-up of Synth-Pop. It's so bizarre they spelt it with two Z's and only one R.

Back in 1981 Mute records issued 'Some Bizzare Album' which included very early Depeche Mode and Soft Cell tracks. All synth driven, some very poppy, others not so.
Another vinyl album I wish I had kept, although I now own the CD.  Tracklisting. (The Residents and Fad Gadget tracks were added to the CD reissue).
