Nice list again! Also much for nostalgic reasons. Adventures in Modern Recording is much more interesting than the previous Buggles album, but for me there is one clear favourite here:

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Architecture & Morality  (Electronic Britney Spears Funk)

I must go with Ghost in the Machine - it's impossible to think of 1981-82 and not think of that album! 

That being said, I simply must give a shout out for Adventures in Modern Recording, which I absolutely LOVE! Even if he hadn't appeared on Drama and produced 90125, Trevor Horn should be remembered for this beautiful slice of early-80s nostalgia!

Side one of Prince Charming is excellent, but the quality falls off a cliff after Stand and Deliver.
The album version of Ant Rap isn't a patch on the single remix.

I would like to belatedly put in a mention for FINGERPRINTZ's 1981 album, Beat Noir. It comes in a number of different versions, but I highly recommend the 10-song British 2nd edition (four songs dropped, replaced with three new songs) on Virgin.

Always found Just Can't Get Enough slightly annoying. This was a great single though (and their debut single Dreaming of Me, which was only included on the US version of the album)
