Sweet the Surfers, Falco, XTC, Human League and you do like OMD after all. How about the Fixx? Reach the Beach is a fantastic album.

some surprisingly good albums (Bauhaus, Neubauten, Waits), some surprisingly poor albums (ELO´s and Queen´s 80´s albums,Alien Sex Fiend).
Sooner or later I´ll listen to your albums from Argentina.
