NUMAN, GARY - TELEKON [Anniversary Edition, 2LP] - Rock

(Deluxe Edition, Colored Vinyl, Bonus Tracks, Anniversary Edition, Expanded Version)

45th anniversary expanded edition with 4 unreleased bonus tracks Including never before heard song “Like A B-Film”.

Gary Numan’s second studio album Telekon was released in 1980 and was his third successive #1 album in the UK. Gary refers to this album, along with its two predecessors, Tubeway Army’s Replicas and his debut solo album The Pleasure Principle, as the “machine” phase of his career. While it was hard to follow up the previous releases, Telekon proved to be hugely influential. Unlike its predecessors, Telekon had plenty of guitars, along with strings and lush synthesizer textures. Trent Reznor claimed to have listened to it every day during the making of Pretty Hate Machine.
