Orange Juice "Rip it up" (1982)
A Scottish pop band, though from their sound they could just as easily
have been from the US, England or anywhere else. Their sound has hints
of the new-wave-era Police, and a LARGE dose of Bowie's soul and dance sound (particularly in the vocals).
This is becoming a bit of a theme with some of these 80s pop albums but
"polished whiteboy funk guitar, subtle horn parts, and synths abound".
As with something like Haircut One Hundred, this is pretty solid pop
fare, and is totally enjoyable if you're in the mood for a bit of catchy
gloss.
