Back in 1977, Numan and his band, Tubeway Army, crashed London's punk-rock party with an album and handful of singles that blended the raw edginess of punk with precise, riff-heavy guitar rock and Numan's surreal sci-fi lyrics.TUBEWAY ARMY was Numan's first album-length recording and finds him just starting to develop the synthesizer-fueled sound that made him a star. While Numan colors a few tracks with a swooshing synth noodles and ominous droning sounds, most of TUBEWAY ARMY is comprised of gutsy guitar rock like "Listen to the Sirens" and "The Life Machine." Powered by surging guitar riffs and Numan's detached, robotic vocal style, the songs stand up quite well when compared to Numan's latter hits. The reissue of TUBEWAY ARMY also features 13 live tracks that were recorded at the Roxy Club in London. All of the tracks--including a searing rendition of the Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat"--predate the album and capture Numan and his band in all their ragged punkish glory.
