I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to get it to FAC. Given that this year will be MTV's 40th anniversary in August, I'd like to celebrate the instance of the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" being MTV's first video by promoting another far-lesser-known Buggles work to FA, Adventures in Modern Recording.
It already has been promoted to GA, and while GA generally doesn't have as strict standards as the FAC, the GA reviewer got really extensive in making sure the article was linked well, used British English and cited sources properly. I've done more edits to this article when it comes to removing sources that may be questioned at FAC plus making sure citation formats meet guidelines, as well as more copyediting.
I know this article looks short, but trust me when I say that this article in its current state is comprehensive, and all that is available in sources. I had to dig deep in a ZTT fansite, Internet archive, Google Books, and newspapers.com to find coverage on this album, and that was all I could find. It's not a well-remembered or commercially-successful album, so finding any coverage at all was surprising.

Hey, HxA, happy to take a look at this. I haven't in-depth picked at the prose yet, or decided whether or not I want to versus just doing an image review. On the quick level, it looks good.
However, there's a big issue here that I'm surprised went unmentioned at GA. The image formatting is really something you need to take a look at; it renders the article text far too choppy and is in violation of MOS:IMAGE. "Background" is sandwiched between the image and the infobox, with the former in turn throwing "Concept and sound"'s header out of alignment. The image under "Concept and sound" in turn misaligns the header for "Release and promotion". The article's length isn't problematic by itself, but the number of images involved for that length cause issues for the underlying structure. Perhaps you could use a gallery?

Image placement and the article's layout looks excellent now. Licensing-wise, both images are fair use. File:AdventuresInModernRecording.jpg is obviously fine, and I'm inclined to accept the rationale given for File:Bugglespromophoto.jpg. That said, some people are stricter on the latter than myself.

Hi HumanxAnthro Thanks for your patience in getting comments in this PR. I will review this article as if it was an FAC. I do not know much about this topic, so please consider this a non-expert review.
Those were general concerns with the prose. Is there more information about the creative inspiration of the album? I felt that was lacking. Overall, it's a good article but I would suggest getting a review from a music-expert that can describe what might be missing. I hope this helps. Z1720 ( talk) 00:57, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
HumanxAnthro it's been a month since the last comment in this PR. Typically, PRs that have been open for a month are closed. Would you still like to keep this open? Z1720 ( talk) 20:30, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
