ABOUT THE RECORD The Pleasure Principle s the debut solo studio album by Gary Numan. Released about six months after Replicas (1979), the second album with his band Tubeway Army, The Pleasure Principle peaked at No. 1 in the United Kingdom. Notable tracks included Airlane, the lead-off instrumental; Metal, sung from the perspective of an android longing to be human (covered by Nine Inch Nails on Things Falling Apart, Thought Industry on Recruited to Do Good Deeds for the Devil and Afrika Bambaataa on Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light, and used as backing for Planet Funk's Who Said); Films, acknowledged by Bambaataa as an important influence on the U.S. hip hop scene; M.E., told from the perspective of the last machine on Earth (later used as backing for Basement Jaxx’s Where’s Your Head At?); the electronic ballad Complex, a UK No. 6 single; and Cars, a worldwide synthpop hit. Cars reached No. 9 in the U.S. and No. 1 in Canada, helping make The Pleasure Principle Numan's strongest North American showing, but lack of a strong commercial follow-up resulted in him being tagged as a one-hit wonder there.
