DESCRIPTION

Beggars Arkive reissue the self-titled debut album by Tubeway Army. The audio was mastered at Abbey Road from analogue tape.

Tubeway Army was the name of Gary Numan’s band. Formed in 1977, their self-titled debut album was released at the tail end of 1978. This album truly paved the way for Gary Numan to become an electronic pioneer. It was during the sessions for this album that he came across a Minimoog synthesizer by accident in the recording studio, and the rest is history.

In addition to Gary, the band consisted of Paul Gardiner on bass and backing vocals and Jess Lidyard on drums.

The album was a segue from the punk-leaning sounds of their early singles to the pioneering electronic music that Gary Numan became known for. The phrase ‘garagey sci-fi rock’ was used in reference to this album.
