...alright, calm down everyone.

1979 The Pleasure Principle.

great mix of instrumentation, big chunky analogue synths but with real drums and violins/violas (and bass, but no guitar). gives it more of a grounding beat than some of the early 80s tinpot drum machine bands.

i could go on at length, but i'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears. Needless to say it's got 'cars' on it, 'M.E.' the song sampled by Basement Jaxx (where's your head at) as well as 'Metal' which NIN covered, and afrika bombaataa liked it, and brace yourself even Mark E Smith has commented on it "...while i was in south chicago in 1992, i went to a few clubs and all the black guys with machine guns worship gary numan", now there's a compliment if ever i heard one.
