Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle flac album

The Pleasure Principle is the debut solo studio album by English musician Gary Numan. Released about six months after Replicas (1979), the second album with his band Tubeway Army, The Pleasure Principle peaked at number 1 in the United Kingdom. The Pleasure Principle has been described as featuring synth-pop and new wave throughout. Numan completely abandoned electric guitar on the album.

chart-topping Are Friends Electric, he had enough clout to convince his label (Beggar’s Banquet) to allow him to go with a solo identity. This album was a departure from the more guitar-based punk of Gary’s first two albums: Tubeway Army and Replicas. I wanted to experiment by making an album without guitars; I wanted to make a purely electronic album

The Pleasure Principle ‎(LP, Album). This album has aged very well, and it showcases the massive sound of the old Polymoog and ARP synths. I can't believe music press derided Numan so heavily at the time, going by what he has said in his interviews.

The Pleasure Principle is also one of the first Gary Numan albums to feature true ensemble playing, especially heard within the airtight, killer groove of "Metal" (one of Numan's all-time best tracks). Starting things off with the atmospheric instrumental "Airlane," the quality of the songs gets stronger and stronger as the album progresses - "Films," ". " "Observer," "Conversation," the aforementioned "Cars," and the . Top Ten hit "Complex" all show Numan in top form

The Pleasure Principle’ wouldn’t be as revered as it is, if all that was worthwhile was the aforementioned couple of hits, something which the rest of the tracklist fortunately solidifies. Numan was an early fan of the original Ultravox line-up, whose punks with synthesisers aesthetic, coupled with singer/songwriter Foxx’s seeming fascination with machines and technology, rubbed off on an impressionable young Numan who would attend several of the group’s gigs around the London area. The overall tone of the album, being as frozen, machine-like, and paranoid as it is, may wane on some listeners towards the end, and the fact that the album is a tad samey in places surely doesn’t help in its defence.
