~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Numan rose to prominence at the tail end of the 1970s, initially recording under the band name Tubeway Army. After recording an album's worth of punky demos, he was signed by Beggars Banquet Records in 1978. A self-titled, punk-orientated album later that same year sold few copies but introduced Numan's fascination with dystopian science fiction and, more importantly, synthesisers. Almost from nowhere, Tubeway Army reached number one in 1979 with the electropop single "Are 'Friends' Electric?", the parent album Replicas simultaneously climbing to number one in the album charts.
