I saw a video at a cinema. I had no idea who it was so I asked the record store. I still don't know who it was but they said "maybe it was Gary Numan" and said I could return the album if I didn't like it . I listened to it on a mono portable cassette recorder and it was Telekon. And thought "what the hell!", it was nothing like I'd ever heard before. But then I heard the lyrics. That was it. I got a better stereo system and never looked back.

Ditto. First time I saw him was very much the same. He appeared on Saturday Night Live (with Elliott Gould), and the sounds, the presentation, it was like discovering that SOMEONE truly “gets it”! His music brought those feelings into a tangible presence in the world. His music library has been a constant companion ever since.

I don't want to split hairs, Kelly but I Die, You Die wasn't actually included on Telekon upon its UK release. Perhaps you live overseas and have a later copy when it was. Not that any of that really matters. What does, it you rightly call Telekon as an epic album and I still regard it as Gary's finest.
