The notes in the above entry are dead wrong. Warner (WEA) Canada released this album, same time it was released in the U.K., with the same label number BEGA 7. Latshaw Systems Karma 2012.4.9 Crack. I was working in rock FM radio, back home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

We were playing 'Are Friends Electric?' On the radio. I also remember buying the LP new, in one of the local records shops, the same time I purchased Tom Petty & The Heatrbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes'. Grabbed both from the new release bin. Tom.) The above LP was not released after The Pleasure Principle came out. Might have been that way in the U.S., but not here in Canada. The press in the late 70’s and early 80’s never really took to Gary Numan, in fact, they bloody well hated him.

It’s difficult to be sure quite why they did, but he was so vilified that they didn’t seem to rest until they had indoctrinated the record buying public into believing that it was actually wrong to like him, wrong to like his music, and, eventually, when he was at his lowest commercial and creative ebb, they ignored him. In many ways, this was worse as, in their opinion, he was not doing anything that was even worthy of comment. It was their vilification that was partially responsible for the reduction in quality of his output, they got what they wanted.

It is not unfair to say that ‘Middle Period’ Numan is at very best, patchy, although Numan himself is rather more scathing about his own releases from this period. I remember a guy in Didcot, when I was nearing the end of my school life, who was a Numanoid. He wore make up and a Numanesque boiler suit, he really did look a total dick. Despite this, it was good that he had his own thing, sort of.

So many of us at that time were somewhat lacking in identity, drifting from one thing to the other whilst trying to like the same things as our friends liked. It took guts to walk through the park past a group of lads who were laughing at him in his ridiculous clothes (and they were ridiculous, in that setting), so fair play to him.

Obviously this has ‘Are Friends Electric?’, the breakthrough song and the one, along with ‘Cars’ that is most often referenced and best remembered, but this is not one of those albums that has the big hit and a load of filler. The two other stand out tracks for me are the opener, ‘Me! I Disconnect from You’ and, with what must surely be some of the darkest lyrics of the time, ‘Down in the Park’: Down in the park where the machmen meet The machines are playing ‘Kill-by-numbers’ Down in the park with a friend called ‘Five’ I was in a car crash or was it the war? I can't say so much about this release as Crijevo, except that it's Numan plagiarizing in reverse - that is - I get the feeling that he ripped off his own melodies on later releases as just Gary Numan, not The Tubeway Army.
