Music reviews of Replicas Redux
Music Review: Numan was a genuine innovator
Rating: 5 Stars
This enhanced version of the classic 1979 synth-rock album confirms Gary Numan's originality and innovative vision. Musically, Kraftwerk must have been a model, whilst thematically, David Bowie's work like Diamond Dogs and Aladdin Sane would have provided inspiration.
This type of synth music experienced a great flowering the next decade with groups like Eurythmics, OMD, Yaz(oo), The Human League and individual artists like Klaus Nomi. Although Bowie's Low and Suicide's debut album both appeared in 1977, Numan deserves the credit for bringing this genre into the mainstream.
The world it paints is bleak, a nightmarish landscape of aliens, alienation and fear, in melodious songs like Down in the Park and the arresting Are 'Friends' Electric? The second disc of earlier alternative versions is quite impressive, in some cases more striking than the familiar versions. Here, Only A Downstat and The Crazies must be singled out.
The packaging is impressive too with plenty of pics and information on the artist and the times. This reissue is well worth the price to enjoy again the first stirrings of the golden age of synthesizer music.

Description of Replicas Redux
Two CD 2008 set commemorates Gary Numan's 30th year in music as well as his 50th birthday. The pioneering Electronic album Replicas are re-issued as Gary Numan & Tubeway Army - Replicas Redux. The CD includes the single 'Are 'Friends' Electric?', which gave Numan his first simultaneous Number 1 single and album when Replicas joined it at the top of the charts a few weeks later. 'Are Friends' Electric?' originally a picture disc and Beggars Banquet promises a very limited edition picture disc of the track plus 'Down In The Park' as the flipside as recognition that both songs have remained influential for three decades. The re-issue features for the first time a complete earlier version of the Replicas album recorded in late 1978, along with the original B-sides and further out-takes, adding up to 27 tracks across the two CDs.Alternative Rock CDs
