Description:
Gary Numan, one of the most important figures in British New Wave and a pioneer of many influences Telekon", a masterpiece that reached #1 on the UK charts three consecutive times, is being reissued in an expanded edition to celebrate its 45th anniversary: !!!!! Gary Numan's second studio album, "Telekon," released in 1980, was his third consecutive #1 album on the UK charts and the culmination of his "machine period," following "Replicas" and "The Pleasure Principle. Telekon", with its exquisite interplay of guitars, strings, and synthesizers, is as challenging as its predecessor, yet remains a highly influential masterpiece. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails has said that he listened to the album every day during the making of their debut album, "Pretty Hate Machine". The uncompromising 40+ year career that the band has built along with their mainstream success is truly astounding.All seven songs, including "Are 'Friends' Electric?" from the album "Replicas" under the name Gary Numan & Tubeway Army and "Cars," his solo debut that same year, reached the UK Top 10, and seven of his albums also reached the Top 10, three of which reached the Three of his albums reached the top of the charts. His music is constantly evolving, with changing themes, and his uncompromising attitude is the main reason why his music attracts fans. All formats of this 45th anniversary and expanded edition include four previously unreleased "Telekon" session tracks from Gary Numan's archives. One of these songs, "Like a B-Film," was unfinished at the time the album was made, and the other three are demo versions of "Please Push No More," "Aircrash Bureau," and "I'm An Agent.Remastered by Abbey Road's Geoff Pesche, with updated artwork by Michael Speed, the first pressing of the Rainbow Sparkle edition also includes a replica of the original 1980 12-page tour booklet. The first pressing of the Rainbow Sparkle edition includes a replica of the original 1980 12-page tour booklet. Gary Numan 45th Anniversary Comments Telekon has warm memories every time I look back. I felt we had moved to a new phase in terms of production and kept looking for a new sound, not going down the commercial route of repeating the format of "Cars" and "Are 'Friends' Electric?" It was a risk after the success of the previous year, but I feel it was a brave decision for me not to take the safer, more conventional path.
