- The_Age_of_Plastic abstract "The Age of Plastic is the debut studio album written, produced and performed by British new wave duo The Buggles, which consisted of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes. The album was produced on a budget of £60,000. The songs were written by The Buggles between 1977–1979, with a help from Bruce Woolley on a couple of tracks. The backing tracks were recorded at Virgin's Town House in West London, while the mixing and vocal recording was done at Sarm East Studios. Mixing was completed before Christmas 1979.The name of the record was conceived from the group's intention of being a "plastic group". The album has lyrical themes of intense nostalgia and anxiety about the possible effects of modern technology. Examples would include the album's title track, "Living in the Plastic Age", which views plastic experiences from watching media about the Vietnam War, and "Kid Dynamo", which follows a kid exposed by all media and the affects on him. Marked by writers as the first technopop landmark, the record is an electropop new wave album that includes musical elements and influences of disco, punk, progressive rock and 1960s pop music. In a 1979 interview, Downes defined the album as "science fiction music. It's like modern psychedelic music. It's very futuristic." Horn used pre-dated technology for the album to have sounds different from what was typical in records that were released at the time.The Age of Plastic was released by Island Records in 1980, following the success of the group's 1979 first single, "Video Killed the Radio Star", which reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. Most of the songs for the album were written during promotion of the song. Three subsequent singles, "The Plastic Age", "Clean, Clean" and "Elstree", all released in 1980, followed "Video", and also charted in the UK, reaching number 16, 38 and 55 respectively. The album charted in the UK, as well as in Norway, France, Sweden and Canada, and has been met with positive critical response, with some critics comparing it to other albums of its genre. There have been two reissues of the album, in 2000 and in 2010. A September 2010 performance of the album by the Buggles, a gig live at the "Ladbroke Grove's Supperclub" in Notting Hill, London, marked the first time the group performed it in its entirety.".

- The_Age_of_Plastic quote ""My stuff just sounded weird. I couldn’t make records like Elton John and I hated punk - I thought they were all shit musicians, although I grew to understand it in retrospect. I envied those guys who played with Elton John. They seemed so unassailable. What am I going to ever do that’s going to get close to that? I don’t have a great feel or a great blues voice. Then I heard Kraftwerk’s The Man-Machine and I thought, that’s it! A mechanised rhythm section, a band where you’re never old-fashioned, where you don’t have to emote. It sounded so new and exciting, so full of potential."".
