Numan (born Gary Webb, 1958) released his first record in 1978 as part of the outfit Tubeway Army.

Initially unsuccessful, the band scored a huge hit in 1979 with the single "Are Friends Electric" and their second album Replicas, both of which reached number one in the UK.

Both this and the subsequent album The Pleasure Principle also reached number one in the UK, and Numan became a leading force in the British electronic music scene.
