Numan! Stop eyeballing that pyramid.
Another synth-pop album that kind of heralded the sound that would come to rule the airwaves in the 80s. Numan's band consisted of drums, synthesisers, bass, and a viola... the last of which adds a touch of the organic to what can occasionally be an overly polished and dehumanised genre.
The cover too speaks of that move from flamboyant or macho scruffy musician in the 70s to a buttoned down, corporate look that a few bands opted for the following decade.
The track M.E (or a part of it) is the basis for the popular Bassment Jaxx song "Where's your head at", aside from that, I was familiar with the song "Cars".
