Title: Tubeway Army – Tubeway Army
Year/Genre: 1978, New Wave / Synth Pop
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Recorded by London band Tubeway Army just as Gary Numan was shifting from punk guitar songs to cold, sci-fi themed electronics.

  2. Lyrics draw on dystopian and android imagery influenced by writers like Philip K. Dick, tying it to late-’70s post-punk futurism.

  3. Its success led Numan to put his own name out front soon after, launching the solo career that would make him a UK synth icon.
