This redux version of Replicas features the full original album, plus a bonus disc featuring a 14 track album of early versions and mixes - tracks which were recently re-discovered and haven't been heard in almost 30 years!

Gary Numan (born Gary Webb in 1958) is an English singer, musician, electro-pop pioneer and noted pilot, probably most widely known for his 1979 hits "Are Friends Electric?" (UK #1) and "Cars" (UK #1, US #9).

'Replicas' was the second album released by Numan with Tubeway Army - after their self-titled debut - and it mirrored the success of the #1 singles chart smash "Are Friends Electric?" by topping the UK album charts simultaneously.

This redux version of Replicas features the full original album, plus a bonus disc featuring a 14 track album of early versions and mixes - tracks which were recently re-discovered and haven't been heard in almost 30 years!

Numan was one of pop music's first successful synth stars, gaining a reputation for flamboyance - while his signature musical style combined gloomy themes of alienation and groundbreaking electropop. After years of ridicule in the press, Numan found himself cited as the "Godfather of electronic music", with the likes of Dave Grohl and Trent Reznor proclaiming his work as an influence, and artists as diverse as Basement Jaxx, Afrika Bambata, Marilyn Manson, Armand Van Helden, Fear Factory and the Sugababes sampling his work.
