Ahead of their final studio album coming out in September, we’re saying a fond farewell to SAINT ETIENNE with this month’s Electronic Sound cover story and an exclusive blue vinyl seven-inch from the group. One side is a sparkling new offering and other is the track that launched the band way back in 1990. It’s incredible to think that it’s 35 years since Saint Etienne released their groovy version of Neil Young’s ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’ as their debut single. Their forthcoming album, the wonderfully upbeat ‘International’, will be their 14th studio set but also their last – as Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs explain in our extensive and hugely entertaining interview. It will conclude a recording career that’s been both tirelessly eclectic and deeply indebted to their love of classic pop music. And with the list of guests on the new album including Vince Clarke and Nick Heyward, as well as radio and television presenters Katie Puckrik and Colin Murray, it’s a splendid way for the trio to bow out.

Red alert!! Ahead of a UK tour to mark the 45th anniversary of his seminal ‘Telekon’ album, we’re delighted to have GARY NUMAN on the cover of this month’s Electronic Sound. We’re bundling the issue with an awesome red vinyl seven-inch too, which is an exclusive release featuring two tracks from ‘Telekon’ selected for us by the great man himself. Gary Numan’s ‘Telekon’ album was a stark and futuristic landmark of electronic music, but it was also the sound of a young man struggling to come to terms with his sudden and often overwhelming fame. At one point in 1980, with three records sitting in the UK Top 20, everybody wanted a piece of him. ‘Telekon’ is one of the main topics of our lengthy and detailed conversation with Numan, in which he talks candidly about death threats, stalkers, plane crashes, ghosts and much more, explaining what it was really like to live with the machines while the world lost its head all around him. It’s a hugely entertaining read, both for ardent Numanoids and curious onlookers alike.
