It was indeed 'Listen To The Sirens' and is the very first line from Numans 'Tubeway Army' album from '78. [/QB]A lot of the lyrics from 'Tubeway Army' and 'Replicas' were taken from 'Naked Lunch' and 'Nova Express' also. It was Numan's love for these books that got me reading them. I started reading Ballard becuase of all the mentions he got in almost every interview with Foxx in the 80s (mostly from the interviewer/reviewer rather than Foxx repeating himself).
Without Sylvian, I probably wouldn't of had read Satre, looked closely at Chagall or Picasso, No Foxx - no Duchamp, Surrealism, Psychedelia, Ernst, Ballard, Auster, No Numan - no Burroughs etc etc,
Isn't it strange, when you think back, where our REAL education came from?
My 300th post! wo-hoo! where's the champagne? Hmmm....think I'll nip down the pub during lunch for a swift Guinness
