This album is an absolutely fantastic representation of early synth music.(Though Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk came first, not as many people followed in their footsteps) I liked the Sci-Fi themes of the CD, and Numans Emotional/Emotionless vocals, though my favorite part of his style is the combining of typical synths with typical rock instruments;since most synth pop acts of the time, used mostly synths and no rock type style or instruments(though I still really like old synth pop). His seemingly bleak look into the future is like it was taken directly from a Science fiction novel(which technically alot of the songs were adapted from a childhood book he wrote and abandoned), and his Cold vocals really added the his sound.
If you like synthesized music, yet are looking for an artist who also using punk Rock type style, Gary Numan in his first few albums is where it's at.

A Truly Disappointing Purchase
I supposedly ordered a new, unopened copy of this album. What I got is a filthy, scratched record that I won't even bother listening to. I can understand some minor scratches, but all the dust in the grooves and the patches of significantly deep scratches I just won't handle. I have used records from the 60s that look better than this, and this was shipped new! Fantastic album, horrible LP quality.
