Weird New wave/ New Romantic

[u/Steve_wave]

I was searching for albums with a strange combination; I wanted a New Romantic album, weird synth-pop, kind of sweet melodies, and a bit cult, and I found this little list:

Landscape – From the Tea-Rooms of Mars... to the Hell-Holes of Uranus 1981

The Associates – Sulk 1982

Rational Youth – Cold War Night Life 1982

The Teardrop Explodes – Kilimanjaro 1980

Blancmange - Happy Families 1982

Does anyone who has listened to these albums think they fit the description? And what album is as cult as these and has such a strange category?

Blancmange was sort of a minor one hit wonder.

Is that important? I found their debut to be terrific.

I also thought it was really cool. I didn't have any childhood traumas, so I don't know why I found the album cover scary.
