Even now this music still sounds so futuristic and dreamy. The new wave era was so awesome.
Helium Road wasn't it just
There are so many current artists who are trying hard to replicate this sound. It is inimitable in my opinion because it is so original and unique sounding.
i have been telling people this for over 30 years, when i was a kid/tween in the late 70s and early 80s between music and fashion etc.. it felt like i was living in the future. EVERYTHING since has felt like a step backwards to me, the only thing that feels like it has advanced is the computer and it may be literally ruining people and the world.
John gave a lot of bands the recognition they so deserved.
He was also a pred and abuser.
Gary Numan wrote so much alienated, broken, coldly emotionless music, yet the man himself is the humblest, nicest, most 'everyday' and upbeat chap you could meet. Quite the genius. Unappreciated in his time, as most great artists are.
One thing I never understood about many people's take on Numan was the idea that his music was cold and emotionless. I always found it quite the opposite. It tapped into a lot of deep feelings for me. I know it really got to the emotions of many fans too.
It was never hearts and flowers emotion, but it was something much deeper for a lot of his listeners. Honestly, I always felt that those who believed his music lacked emotion were the types of people who didn't really understand emotion at all.
@@davidspion9548 I feel like being completely emotionless and sounding emotionless are two different things. I was just listening to tubeway army's self titled record this morning and reading along to the lyrics. To me, in the lyrics, Gary comes off as emotional and passionate in an emotionless world where he is lost and is therefore indifferent to it all. I don't know exactly what the lyrics are about since they can be pretty abstract at times but that is just my take.
Deep, passionate emotion and meaning and complicated personality in an emotionless cold environment he doesn't fit into but totally understands! And interprets in an abstract way!! Every line of lyrics from album to album interfaces and unlocks characters, places, beings, loneliness and desperation! Its a world and language of a brilliant mind. The music gives perfect feel in every tune! Everything is very explicit and dirty. Even disturbing. Without use of profanity, it's actually MORE gross and candied than foul language disguised by the veil of the words used, such that you feel sticky after albums are over! Taught me a lot about writing better lyrics!
nice too hear johns voice before a track. ah, takes me back.x
My sentiments entirely Dude :-) Bless him x How essential was Peel eh!
Yes,one announcer I didn't cut out when recording shows onto cassette.
Peel was a bacon.
Wow this is really nostalgic! Playing the session while Tubeway Army we’re still at number one with AFE. Like the way he says check with Paul Burnett (remember him!) to see if they are still number one - this really is gold it’s made my day 😂
This is Fabulous, Numan at His Finest
Airlane such a beautiful instrumental.
Replicas is a modern day masterpiece.
Modern? It was over 40 years ago...
@@dillongstaff5625 I am aware... it's a figure of speech..
I never realised Gary performed the Pleasure Principal as Tubeway Army,
Genius, pure Genius Gary! 🖤
Great version of cars love the ruggid version's ironed tubeway army
Great session, so funny to hear it announced as Tubeway Army
Yep its Ced (go rest his soul) on the drums, you can here the difference in power.
Machine of a drummer he was
Cedric was spot on steady as fuck!! And yet, I always felt (and was heavily influenced by as a guitarist, to tell my drummers who didn't get it) and appreciated how his speed seemed to waver perfectly faster and slower, to take you OUT OF TIME!!
Great hearing this again...and a big plus is hearing john Peel's voice in between tracks...anyone else's voice will piss piss me off (Sorry,anne Nightingale,but you will surely understand)
Thanks for sharing. Classic album, I remember this show - I was 9.
New favorite video on TH-cam. This version of Conversation is ethereal.
gold
Thank you for uploading this!
The songs landed on the first Numan solo album. TA was not only Gary still.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
good!!!
THE BEST
Good driving music.
so so glad to see you're on again! resubscribed. ;)
wow
Films definitely improved by the time the album was recorded
Outstanding!
Larz Gustafsson skönt och se en svensk numanoid...har typ aldrig hänt mig tidigare.
Hej1 Jag bor i Gävle. Började lyssna på Numan 1980.
Larz Gustafsson ha ha!! samma här, svårt för många och förstå charmen med något så var sååå före sin tid. Präglat mig i allt tror jag...
Larz Gustafsson Stockholm Södermalm.
Ja, han var pionjär.
Och ett tag var han ju med i punkbandet Mean Streets. Dock icke när de spelade på Vortex och blev inspelade på livesamlingsalbumet "Live At Vortex". Jag var själv punkare och sjöng i bandet Bizex-B, som du kan hitta här på TH-cam.
Tubeway Army performing all songs of the first Numan solo album? Who really plays here? The Tubeway line (Lidyard, Gardiner, Numan) or Numan's line (Sharpley, Payne, Currie, Gardiner, Numan )?
It was recorded by the latter line-up, but under the name Tubeway Army, as clearly stated by Peel on both the first and second broadcasts of this session. By the time of the third broadcast the solo name was in use. The band who recorded this session were, at the time of the recording, first broadcast and first repeat, called Tubeway Army.
Vibracobra23 Redux Ok. Thank you!
Yes we know that but the question was about who the musicians were playing on this particular recording as Tubeway Army,.Was it (Lidyard,Gardiner,Numan) as Tubeway Army or (Sharpley,Payne,Currie,Gardiner,Numan) as Tubeway Army?I would guess it was maybe the latter lineup as the last track 'Conversation' has the electric viola on it which was played by Currie on the album and also on the ultravox track 'Vienna' but this is just a guess.
Just listen to those drums, Jess Lidyard was good but Cedric Sharpley was fantastic. This is Sharpley all over, compare it with the first session and you can tell the differencd
@@darrenparker4897 I clearly said it was recorded by the latter line-up in my original reply
Ah the great John Peel, by the sounds of it he wasn't convinced lol, how wrong he was but to be fair to him he was never far off.
The only radio programme i listened to where I had to have a pen and paper handy...OK I may have heard O Superman,Faust,The Normil Haiwaiians and Siouxsie and the Banshees eventually...but he played me them first.
He didn't play stuff he didn't like. Presenting TOTP that's when you got him sounding unconvinced.
Totally gob smacked when I first Listen
Of course these are all different from the PP versions but most strikingly "Films" is missing it's signature "synth riff", which is the very backbone of the song!
Early days bro 👍
Gary Numan's eyes
Love the uk subs fade out at the end. Does peel sound a bit snarky about TA? Still, at least he gave them airplay.
Dunno! Hope not coz Peel and Numan were part of the soundtrack to my youth. Though he never admitted it, I gauge that David Bowie was outraged by the new kid on the block that was Mr Numan in 1979 (the legend goes Bowie got Numan thrown out of an aftershow party on the Kenny Everett TV show Christmas Special at the end of 1979 when they both appeared). Oh, these Showbiz types.
@@stevenyates6250 I never heard that, it's a comic scenario to imagine though, and typical Bowie, had to be the centre of attention. According to May Pang, in her account of her time with John Lennon, Bowie turned up at a party in a NYC apartment at Lennon's invitation, and Paul McCartney was there. Everything was civil when Bowie asked if he could put on a master tape of his forthcoming album, which was Young Americans. They listened. Bowie put it on again from the start. They listened. Third time around McCartney said 'yeh it's great, can we listen to something else now?'. Bowie got up and left in a huff, and took his album with him.
@@speakertreatz I heard about that one too. When he was trying to get clean in the mid to late 70s, it seemed Bowie's behavior could be a bit unpredictable or precious. I read an update on Numan-Gate from Gary himself last year and in fact he wasn't thrown out of the after party but the performance itself. Apparently a security guard came up to him and said, "David Bowie's seen you and you've got to go." I guess that's even worse. Bob Geldof was stood a little in front of Numan but he wasn't asked to leave, nor anyone else apparently.
@@stevenyates6250 So much for Geldof. When someone needed him to put his money where his big mouth is, he rolled over rather than upset Bowie. Here in Ireland the streetwise tough guy image he cultivated in the UK was never taken seriously, he was a little rich kid who went to arguably Ireland's most prestigious private school, Blackrock College. So much for standing up for injustice. I agree that Bowie had to have been really rattled by Numan and Replicas in particular. He'd taken The Man Machine, the best parts of Low and fused them into something significantly better than what Bowie was doing in 1979 (I don't rate Lodger at all). And Numan was having smash hit records with it. Bowie was some diva. Yet the following year he was chasing the Blitz kids around, courting Steve Strange, trying to catch some of their light. What's the betting he tried to schmooz Midge Ure to produce a record with him? Great story though thanks for sharing with us.
@@stevenyates6250 Might prove who backed Geldof?
u can't dislike this, i'm offended.
get over yourself.
Cars was on the pleasure principle Gary's first solo album
all were
Where's that great line from Films? 🙄 Not thought up yet? Hope it wasn't a producer thing for the record.
Numan produced it.
@@philippendletonmusic I think you'll find it was produced by Tony Wilson - not the factory records guy.
Peely keeps saying these tracks are by Tubeway Army, yet they are all tracks from Gary Numan's debut solo album, 'The Pleasure Principle'.
Despite this obvious mistake by Mr Peel, what a great Peel Session and classic songs from an awesome album.
It's not a mistake. The session was recorded by Tubeway Army.
@@Vibracobra23Ennui Yes, you're correct, I have the session CD and just looked at it.
Gary must have still been using the name TA when he recorded his PP tracks for JP.
Cars sounds a bit lifeless here. Great version of Films though.
Evolution.
