I wore a badge with that single cover on it to college one day and my lecturer asked me what it meant, he said something like "How can you drink electricity?". The words 'point' and 'missed' came to mind. That said, the poor guy's name was Frank Bottom (no kidding!) so I had to make allowances.

I never bought any of their subsequent releases but I played this one to death.

ΤΏΤ

They're on MySpace too:

OMFG!! Completely missed them. Thought they had a cool name, but never checked them out.

I do like quirky arty pop.

Hurts - Happiness

Gary Numan - Dark Wonders. Not a bad compilation for a "2nd time around newbie".

It's probably one of the better unofficial old Numan compilations on the market. At least it gives a fair overview of his post-1984 work (up to 2001 anyway), unlike the other crap compilations out there.

Tubeway Army - Replicas
Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle

Bought these two yesterday & was more impressed with Replicas though the extra tracks on TPP are more enjoyable. I'm enjoying finding Numan again.

Can only be a good thing! I remember discovering Replicas and the extra tracks. It was great to see them played live in 2008.

Looking forward to hearing more about your Numan rediscovery.

The Human League - live bootleg, Tokyo 1982.

All the Dare hits ....and more! There's an interesting early version of Don't You Know i Want You, and Mirror Man, when it was still called "I can't Get to Sleep at Night" ... wink
