Gary Numan and Tubeway Army were an artist i neglected back in the day and am looking to investigate the back catalogue in 2023.
the only things i own are two of his early singles, "are friends electric?" and "cars"
so i am wondering if anyone here is a fan and/or has any recommendations for albums to listen to or purchase.

I have only ever had one GN album - Replicas. While I enjoyed that album his other albums were too similar for me and I lost interest.

thanks guys, unless Ruby says anything totally different to you guys then i believe "replicas" is probably where i will start.

a friend gave me a Gary Numan compilation to listen to yesterday and since then i have had it on rotation in the car.
its a 17 or 18 track compilation of his earlier material/singles.
i have listened to it three times now and enjoying it more with each listen.
can certainly hear some Bowie influences for sure.
favourite track so far is this one (a horrid video though)
