I really like the variety of music you deliver. Not all are my style, but I still enjoy listening and learning to appreciate the varied genres. Thanks.
Yes, It's Gary Numan. The Tubeway Army is the name of his band. Punk and New Wave co-existed side by side at the end of the 1970's. On the first Gary Numan track you did, "Are Friends Electric?", that was a pretty straightforward early New Wave song. This track you just reacted to Jarvis has the punk influence bleeding all over it with just ever so slight a hint of the New Wave attitude, mainly in Gary Numan's vocal delivery to the song.
Tubeway Army was roughly post punk meets Philip K Dick. Fascinating paranoid and alienated scenes he paints. I have no idea how he did it at such a young age. I bought this LP in 1979 and nearly wore it out.
A lot of Mister Numan's stuff describes a somewhat bleak dystopian sci-fi future; think Blade Runner set to music. Android prostitutes, killing machines, malicious artificial intelligences, aliens, and steely-eyed police seem to be some recurring themes in his earlier works. If I had to congeal his music into just one theme -- the term "dehumanization" comes to mind. Bear in mind -- this is merely my personal interpretation alone.
