Love this record. Photo doesn’t do the rainbow glitter effect justice on the #Vinyl but then I haven’t got a proper camera. Nice extra tracks and a newer version of the ‘Teletour’ programme, I found my original recently which was surprisingly ‘un-dog eared’😮

Gary Numan Unearths Lost Telekon-Era Track “Like a B-Film” for Album's 45th Anniversary Edition — Post-Punk.com

"Numan’s instinct to move forward remains intact. This year, Beggars Banquet opens his archives once more for Telekon’s 45th anniversary: an expanded reissue featuring four previously unreleased recordings, including Like A B-Film, an unearthed relic from the original sessions. Early versions of Please Push No More, Aircrash Bureau, and I’m An Agent reveal a restless mind still at work, testing limits even within success."

Gary Numan Unearths Lost Telekon-Era Track “Like a B-Film” for Album's 45th Anniversary Edition — Post-Punk.com

In 1980, Telekon arrived like an electrical storm: a stark, neon-lit meditation on technology and alienation. It was Gary Numan’s third consecutive UK number one and the closing act of what he calls the machine phase: the triptych of Replicas, The Pleasure Principle, and Telekon that defined a generation of electronic music. In the decades since, its influence has spread through the circuitry of popular culture, resonating in the works of artists from Prince to Trent Reznor to Lady Gaga.

Since this week's #TuneTuesday theme is #MyGenerationMusic and I was born April 1980, I have to talk about TELEKON.

Gary Numan released Telekon, my favorite of his records, in 1980. It was the first vinyl I bought as a teen in the 90s. Hearing this intro track and the album that followed was mindblowing. Definitely listen to this whole record if you get a chance.

Here's "This Wreckage", the first song on Telekon, one of the best album opening tracks EVER:

Today would have been Robert Moog's birthday, and he is of course the inventor of the incredibly awesome-sounding Moog synthesizer that you'll hear everywhere in rock music.

My introduction to the Moog was in the early 90s, I picked up Gary Numan's brilliant album Telekon in a tiny record store in Maryland when I was a teen. I was hooked. I still listen to it.

My second big Moog exposure was on the album Return of the Rentals by the Rentals, the side project of former Weezer bass player Matt Sharp. ANOTHER great album.

One more album you might know Moog synths from is of course Abbey Road, one of the first to have Moog on it, specifically a bunch on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and even "Here Comes the Sun".

Long live that killer Moog sound!

@ghonsel ich finde das Dienstwagen-Privileg zwar grundsätzlich falsch, aber wenn es schon sein muss, ist die Umstellung auf reine E-Autos gut. Bravo, #Telekon
