Music reviews of The Pleasure Principle
Music Review: UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GARY NUMAN
Rating: 4 Stars
Over Thirty years ago Gary Numan released his first album under his own name, previously having played with The Tubeway Army whos own second album with Numan, Replicas was also released in 1979. The Pleasure Principle went to number one in the U.K and many other countries and was the album that went on to influence a host of other synth acts, none of then however were as dark as Gary Numan.
With this two disc deluxe edition (not to be confused with the previous remastered reissue that is one disc with bonus tracks) you get the original ten song album remastered of course, you also get a second disc of 17 songs that include demo versions and out takes. Numan fans will be well familiar with these songs but to people who only have a passing interest and only know the song Cars, they will get a suprise at how much they have heard already whether it be the brilliant Metal which was covered by Nine Inch Nails (on their remix ep things falling apart)or how familiar the music to M.E sounds as it was used by Basement Jaxx on their big hit where's Yor Head At? This just goes to show the influence Numan has on a wide range of musicans.
Stand out tracks are Metal, Cars, M.E and Observer from the main album but truthfully there is no really weak tracks and the album has aged really well considering the technology that was around then and what's around now. On the bonus cd as well as the demos you get Random and Oceans which were out takes from the original album and here you get them all dusted down and remastered. the demos are all high quality so it will be interesting to hear how the finished songs sound originally. You get all the original artwork with the booklet as well as well written piece by writer Steve Malins.
The Pleasure Principle might be over 30 years old but one thing for sure is that it will still be influencing people in another 30 years time!

Description of The Pleasure Principle
The Pleasure Principle was the point where the singer became a huge international solo star, even reaching the Top 10 in the United States with 'Cars' and Top 20 with the album. The Pleasure Principle pioneered electronic pop music on a new scale it was a much bigger success worldwide than Kraftwerk's releases or anything from the influential but still relatively 'culty' Bowie/Eno Berlin trilogy. And the fact that it was different and had a major impact in US Numan performed 'Cars' and 'Praying To The Aliens' in front of 40 million people on the Saturday Night Live Show means that there'Alternative Rock CDs
