Quite some Number 1 in the UK in 1979. This single and the album that accompanied it made a huge impact and Numan a huge star. Kids talked about in playgrounds the length of the country the morning after Top of the Pops. My payground included. One of those rare occasions when the right song was Number 1 and that you realise in retrospect with time and judgement what a great record it is and more than a mere memory from your youth. Numan was much derided at the time but I imagine a fair bit of this was envy. A blazing single.
