The answer to the question, it seems, is YES. Unless, that is, he sent one of his androids to talk to Steve Lamacq today. And the event? Tubeway Army's Replicas is the 6music ' ClassicalbumoftheDay '. This means that tracks from the record have been peppered throughout today's schedule , and that Lammo got to grill the Numan all about the making of the album. He was quite candid for an android: talking about getting used sexually by older women [...]
Does anyone remember Mr Benn? Emerging from 52 Festive Road to embark on an adventure in his new guise. As I vaguely recall, many of the Mr Benn tales had a strong moral undertone. Everything always turned out well if Mr Benn was there, with his kind and reassuring avuncular manner. Good old Mr Benn. Old things, gold things. Just like friends. Saw some goldies but goodies this week. Friends that see you through the good times, the fat times and the nobody loves me times. R&J, Big Sare, Bingley D, Polly Pocket and Movie Mate, you are [...]
And here we leave the 1970s. The first year of the 1980s would turn out to be a fantastic year. If I'm still going to run this blog (as I am writing, I am short on time and, to be honest, motivation), I'll look forward to sharing the records that take me back to that year. * * * B.A. Robertson - Bang Bang.mp3 A pal of mine tells a great story about he lost his virginity [...]
A little late on this Christmas song post, but I dont think you'll have a hard time getting past the not-so-cheerful vibes in this dark and dreary tune. Missions takes the best part of the elite and respected 80s new wave bands, like Tubeway Army, Human League, New Order, and adds 20+ years of new technology and electronic sounds. Thus far they've posted songs on their Soundcloud every few months, but promise at the very least an EP in 2011.
Tú y 4 amigos más podrán ser invitados especiales en el concierto de Gary Numan el próximo 6 de noviembre. Es muy sencillo, sólo tienes que tomarte una foto ataviado al estilo Gary Numan (tú sabes: traje, maquillaje, mirada profunda... tal como luce en la portada del disco "The pleasure principle" ) y pegar la foto en el flyer que te dejamos a continuación. Esto te tomará sólo unos minutos, y a cambio estarás en la zona especial en la presentación del artista inglés. El siguiente paso es pegar la [...]
The breakthrough track from Richard X's 'Girls On Top' project, this is a 'mash-up' (hate that expression) of Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me" and Gary Numan/Tubeway Army's "Are 'Friends' Electric?" which went on to be re-recorded by Sugababes leading to a very odd TOTP appearance for Richard. Lovely artwork that's a rip-off from The Normal's 'Warm Leatherette'.

It's a bleak vision of the future. In the foreground a cut-away view of a subway reveals a speeding train, broken glass littering the tunnel, grafitti daubed on the wall. The tunnel snakes through a lunar landscape to a dominant dome, a bubble fit to burst with the skyscraper city inside. But this is not a utopian view of some glorious future. The image is rendered in crude black and white; rough pencil strokes hatch in a claustrophobic perspective. There is no sense of accomplishment, no intimation of the boundless possibilities of the future. The city is capped and constrained; [...]
Take that smile off your face Wipe the tear from your eye Don't say you're sorry for me Paul Gardiner could not have known, when he was auditioning guitarists for his band The Lasers, that his life was about to take a quite sudden turn, that he would soon find himself helping to create one of the defining sounds of the post punk era, and reaping the rewards that followed from a string of hit singles and sold-out tours. No more could he have known that the trappings of such success would prove fatal. But on [...]
Few artists garner such a schizophrenic critical reception as Gary Numan, frontman of the post-punk group Tubeway Army. Even Numan fans seem to despise and revere him at the same time. He's one of those guys who followed a series of groundbreaking and influential recordings with an opposite series of badly-executed embarrassments. Unlike other visionaries, including his heroes David Bowie and Brian Eno, Numan sped off the edge of the cliff and then made the fateful mistake of looking under his feet. And even before his 1981 album Dance and its follow-up I, Assassin showed him [...]

Dusting 'Em Off: Tubeway Army – Tubeway Army
When you hear the name Gary Numan , if you're like most people you will probably think of one thing- nay, one word – cars (and then you may start humming that infectious synth riff). The title of the 1979 single off his album The Pleasure Principle has forever linked the man with the New Wave idiom, and as an unfortunate side effect of never having another hit single in the US, he was also labeled a one-hit-wonder. Nothing is further from the truth, as The Pleasure Principle was Numan's third release (though the first [...]

Amphetaminkrieg!
January 1942: 500 Wehrmacht soldiers found themselves surrounded by the Red Army on the Eastern Front. Suffering in temperatures of –22 Fahrenheit, marching through snowdrifts that at times reached waist high, soldiers began to lie down in the snow to die. Six hours into their escape they claimed they could go no further. Commanders made [...]

No Title
Tubeway Army - Tubeway Army Gary Numan would become gain more footing with this album's follow-up and become a household name with The Pleasure Principle , released under his own name but this is where it all began. The band cut a previous single for Beggars Banquet called "That's Too Bad" that followed a tried and true punk palette but immediately following its release Numan fell in love with the sound of the Moog and decided to apply synthesizers to the punk aesthetic. Incorporating a fair amount of icy cool via Kraftwerk's [...]

is there something i should know…
Tweet A band that takes their name from a Gary Numan/Tubeway Army staple surely can't be all bad, can they? In the case of the Welsh quartet, Friends Electric, all is most certainly good here. The band's new single Something You Should Know is the kind of intelligent and pristine pop that the masses should be begging for. If recent play on BBC Radio 1 is any indication, it just may be the band won't be waiting too long to secure a bit of success for themselves. In the same [...]
