Have to admit that I've never had much time for the first two albums, although that didn't stop me picking up them up when remastered and re-issued last year. Like the odd track, but on the whole, can't really listen to them that much.

Now Systems of Romance is a different kettle of fish altogether. This album is superb and really did make a difference, although I'm not convinced it made as much of an impact artistically as Bowie's Berlin period. Certainly it made Numan look at a synthesiser, don't really remember anyone else at the time namechecking them, and he took Billy Currie on tour with him and included him on The Pleasure Principle album.

Still believe that the Ure-Vox lineup is the best though...
