Tubeway Army
1978After a series of demos and singles (eventually released as "The Plan") Gary and his band recorded this album in a week. It was originally to be a ten-song LP called "Everyday I Die," but its release was delayed, and in that time Gary recorded two extra songs "Listen To The Sirens" and "Zero Bars." The three-piece Tubeway Army consisted of Gary on guitar and synth, his uncle Jess Lidyard on drums, and good friend Paul Gardiner on bass. The songs are part-rock, part-punk, guitar-based and laced with electronic experimentation. Although there were no singles released, the album itself sold out its original pressing of 5000. Acoustic "Jo The Waiter" is often played as an encore at Numan's live gigs.
