专辑介绍

by Greg Prato

Gary Numan's follow-up to the flawless The Pleasure Principle was 1980's Telekon. Although it was another mega-hit back home in England (his third consecutive number one album), Numan could not follow up his massive new wave hit &Cars& in the United States, where he was unjustly slapped with the one-hit-wonder tag. Telekon would also turn out to be the last true classic Numan album, as monetary problems and an unfocused attempt to try different musical forms (as well as a short-lived retirement) would steer him away from his original vision. Although Telekon was indeed a strong album, it could have been even stronger if it included the U.K. Top Ten singles &I Die: You Die& and &We Are Glass& (both were recorded during the Telekon sessions). Numan experimented with funk for the first time in his career (&Remind Me to Smile&), but there were still plenty of chilling synth excursions to keep the Numan faithful satisfied -- &This Wreckage,& &The Aircrash Bureau,& &I'm an Agent,& and &I Dream of Wires& are all choice cuts. The 1998 Beggars Banquet re-release eventually did include both the U.K. singles, as well as several other rarities, including a bare &piano version& of &Down in the Park.& [Note: In addition to bonus tracks, all of the Gary Numan/Beggars Banquet re-releases contain classic photographs and informative liner notes by Numan biographer Steve Malins.]
