The Associates
I really like this Scottish band. Fourth Drawer Down and Sulk are both excellent albums, with distinct acrobatic vocals, and again New Romantic vibe. Sulk is more poppy and so for this thread I've chosen the song "Club Country".



(Eh, I have to include another one, it's my favorite)
The Associates - No

And speaking of Ultravox, I love John Foxx's solo album Metamatic. Cold, cold synths...brrrr! I love it, very futuristic.
"Underpass"
I LOVE all of the above.

Only Propaganda album I got is 1234 which is not that good, and recorded with a different line-up.

Haven't really heard any solo John Foxx, though I love his Ultravox! stuff.
