RETROPOPIC 981 - GARY NUMAN: THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE a discussion with Tubeway Day's Chris Fielding




Alongside three songs from the album, Chris Fielding of Tubeway Days discusses The Pleasure Principle with The Saint of RETROPOPIC RADIO.

Where did the album title come from? Why was the cover art futurist at the time it was released? To what extent was there Numan mania in 1979? Like Replicas was there a concept behind this album? How does Chris deliver the electronic ballad 'Complex' live? Why are the lyrics of 'M.E.' so clever? Where did this Gary Numan backlash come from? What does Chris think of 21 year old Gary Numan's production of the album? How are Tubeway Days able to get such an authentic Gary Numan synthesiser sound? Which album by a British classic rock band does The Pleasure Principle knock off the top of the UK charts? Why was The Pleasure Principle such a groundbreaking album?

RETROPOPIC RADIO is the global home of the great album!
