Downes and Horn worked on their second album, "Adventures in Modern Recording". As originally intended, "I Am a Camera" was brought to completion as a Buggles song under its original title. However, Downes left the group during the recording of the album to form the band Asia with former Yes bandmate Steve Howe. Horn completed the album with a lot of new songwriting partners and musicians. "Adventures in Modern Recording" was released in late 1981, but five singles released from the album ("I Am a Camera", "Adventures in Modern Recording", "On TV", "Lenny" and "Beatnik") were not as successful as "Video Killed the Radio Star", resulting in the end of The Buggles.
