A great post-punk album with science fiction themes
Tubeway Army - Replicas (1979) - rating: *****
The ultimate version of the science fiction themes by Tubeway Army
The Pleasure Principle (1979) - rating: *****
The first solo album by Gary. More and more synthesizer in the songs. Perhaps the best Numan album of the early period.

Continuing the sound of the previous album.

Soul and funk are introduced for the first time in his synthesizer sound.

Continuing the sound of the previous album but not as good.

From here it's going downwards for a a long time.

He keeps the focus on the good sound he invented.
