Gary Numan - I nearly married a human
What a great tune! It has all the wistful hopeful 70s sci-fi yearning of a BoC sonic bonbon but unlike BoC it was actually composed in the 70s.
It's a soundtrack for driving noiseless electric cars through endless glittering tunnels, off to repair the mandroids at the glass factory.
The whole Replicas album is classic. I could listen to it on loop and be happy as a robot clam all day.
Funny, he gets dissed as being a Bowie imitator who didn't do it quite as well but where's Bowie now? And Numan's early classic work still sounds fresh and relevant.
Think I'll listen to Pleasure Principle next.

Was it because his music went straight to hell after Telekon? :-)
I have the remastered Replicas, Pleasure Principle and Telekon and the sound is simply stunning. Lots of extra tracks too. The bonus tracks on Replicas are as good as the originals - amazing lyrics.

he's not human, so why would he marry one? at least he's made damn sure he doesn't look like one anyway! :)
