Short intro

The Pleasure Principle is the debut solo studio album by English musician Gary Numan. Released about six months after Replicas 1979, the second album with his band Tubeway Army, The Pleasure Principle peaked at number 1 in the United Kingdom. The Pleasure Principle has been described as featuring synth-pop and new wave throughout. Numan completely abandoned electric guitar on the album. This change, coupled with frequent use of synthetic percussion, produced the most purely electronic and robotic. The Pleasure Principle - Gary Numan.

After his U. chart-topping Are Friends Electric, he had enough clout to convince his label Beggars Banquet to allow him to go with a solo identity. Numan first used the Vox Humana string-like sound on the PolyMoog synthesizer in several tracks on this album, including his most famous song, Cars. In addition to these new at the time synthesizers, The Pleasure Principle is notable for being is Gary Numans only album with no guitars on it. The Pleasure Principle. The Pleasure Principle wouldnt be as revered as it is, if all that was worthwhile was the aforementioned couple of hits, something which the rest of the tracklist fortunately solidifies. Numan was an early fan of the original. Tracks like the grinding, icy-cold Metal, and the, quite literally mechanical, Engineers, bares witness to this influence especially well, but the album has a predilection for robotic beats and frosty synth flitters in general. The overall tone of the album, being as frozen, machine-like, and paranoid as it is, may wane on some listeners towards the end, and the fact that the album is a tad samey in places surely doesnt help in its defence.
