Member CD Reviews Jax M. (Destructa) from SAN JOSE, CA Reviewed on 12/14/2007... Great glimpse into the early years of Numan's career, during his rapid rise to fame and the development of several signature hits. Hear some of his best songs from Replicas and Pleasure Principle: not only stripped down for live performance, but halfway out of the demo process.
CD ReviewsMore robotic Numan albums Expos | MI, USA | 07/28/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "A great piece to own for Numan collectors. This features his early radio recording sessions with London DJ John Peel. The first 3 tracks were recorded during the release time of Numan's first synthesizer-based album, "Replicas". The next three are recorded just prior to the Numan's purely electronic album, "The Pleasure Principle". Both sessions show the beginnings of Numan's now classic songs. The most notable track, of course is "Cars" which eliminates one synthesizer and Gary's tambourine. With it's strong drum beat, which is more apparent in this particular recording, it is with no question that this is Numan's best song to date. The final three tracks, which are live, are a scam. They claim to be from London Wembley show in 1979, but in fact are from Numan's famous Hammersmith Odeon show early that year. In fact, these tracks sound awful. If you want better mixed tracks, get Numan's live album "Living Ornaments 79-80. Above all, a worthy buy for die-hard fans and collectors of the greatest synthesizer-rock pioneer." Gary Numan - 'The BBC Sessions' (Fuel 2000) Mike Reed | USA | 03/18/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Total of ten cuts.Turns out to be two appearances at the BBC in 1979,in January and May,plus three tracks are from an actual gig at the tail end of that year.Sound quality is fine.Only problem is that I,personally thought that unless you're a completist(I certainly am NOT),this compilation pretty much gives the consumer what they probably ALREADY have.Oh,the great Numan tunes are here,like "Cars","I Nearly Married A Human"(have always liked this song),"Airplane" and the last three that nearly puts you right in the crowd with "Me,I Disconnect From You","Metal" and the stunning "Down In The Park".A should-have,for some."
