I always thought the drums were great on those old Tubeway Army songs. Older bloggers might remember my 2007 post about life after Numan for the band members. The links are dead now - could be worth a re-post.
Word verification: factanu Sounds like a Vic Reeves catchphrase.
PS: Isn't it incredible that this synth classic has real drums on? It just struck me. Two years later it'd be drum machines a go-go. Or those synthy ones you slap that go bo bo.
A whole weekend with nothing planned, glorious.
ReplyDeleteA gin, me thinks!
Have a good one Mr H
Cheers dear boy - I'm on the Pinot Grig ce soir.
ReplyDeleteAnd finding those 'I am android/alien/alienated/coked up' stares the soon-to-be-fired members of Tubeway Army are doing hilarious.

I used to have an eranu t-shirt actually. Sadly, though, it didn't prove as durable as the catchphrase (word) itself.
ReplyDeleteThose band member stares really were a bad idea! They look like a bunch of extras from Dawn of the Dead or something.
They wish! They look like a bunch of badly mulleted blokes from 'Middlesex' trying to be rock and roll, is what!
ReplyDeleteTriff song tho.

ReplyDeleteReal bass and guitar too. It's a lot rockier than you think.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's true.
