Adventures In Modern Recording is the second and last record from the British synth-pop duo The Buggles. Made one year after their stint as members of Yes, the album contains nine tracks, including a stripped-down version of Yes's "Into the Lens", here entitled, "I Am A Camera". The album contained no hits, and the Buggles broke up a short time later, with Geoff Downes joining Asia and Trevor Horn becoming a producer. The album has been recently reissued worldwide on Salvo/ZTT Records.
