Automatic
1987This album was a collaboration between Numan and Bill Sharpe (of Shakatak). The music was by Sharpe, while Numan provided lyrics and vocals. The album is probably the closest to mainstream pop Numan has been - there's some lively synth-pop on here, and some equally decent ballads. It was recorded shortly before Numan acquired a record deal with IRS records and made his popular "Metal Rhythm" album.
