Description
Gary Numan ORIG OZ LP Telekon VG+ '80 WEA 600073 New Wave Synth Pop
Original OZ LP released in 1980 on WEA Records. Cat: 600073. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which has some marks and small surface tears and is in VG+ condition.
After breaking through to massive U.K. fame with his 1979 album The Pleasure Principle, and its chart-topping new wave isolationist anthem "Cars," Gary Numan got darker, more intense, and more solemn on his second proper solo album, 1980's Telekon. The shifts in his work were happening quickly, with both Replicas (the last of two albums Numan made with his punkier group Tubeway Army) and The Pleasure Principle being released in 1979, and the songs for Telekon being written and recorded by the end of that year, but held back for a release in September of 1980 as not to flood the market. Telekon was, in part, Numan's response to overnight success, with songs that alluded cryptically to conclusions and farewells, and instrumentation that expanded beyond the digital synth chill of The Pleasure Principle to include Satie-informed piano lines, a wider range of synthesizers, and a lot more guitars.
