Got round in listening to 2 new
Gary Numan releases.
Replicant . I must say I'm delighted that Steve Malins is conducting the interviews for Gary and John. His questions succeed in maintaining the flow of the interview. At several points he also goes into discussions with the artist which is nice. It was great to find out that admist the mighty Minimoog and Polymoog Synthesizer (not the Keyboard version as this came later on...in
Cars) some of the quirky synth sounds came from a Roland SH-2000.
The main synths on
Replicas:
Minimoog Model D:
Polymoog Synthesizer (model 203A):
Roland SH-2000:
Something in-between an early SH-09 and an early Jupiter-4.
Interesting to note that Gary praises Ultravox and John Foxx in the interview. He always does.
Telekon Live. Gary and his band succeed in replicating the original sound with their new 21st century equipment. It's the only way to do it without taking any risks, as the old original analogue equipment are infamous for their unreliability. A great show and the spark is still there. A great version of
Sleep by Windows .
I only wish we could have a live disc and an interview disc for
The Pleasure Principle to complete the set.
