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.

We’re marking the return of The Art Of Noise with this month’s Electronic Sound cover story. Or The Art Of This as they’re now calling themselves. And as well as bringing you the very first interview with the band under this name, we’re bundling the magazine with an exclusive silver vinyl seven-inch featuring the new group’s debut recordings. More than 25 years on from The Art Of Noise’s last studio album, three of the five founding members – JJ Jeczalik, Gary Langan and Paul Morley – are rebooting the group as The Art Of This. They’re in fantastic form for our interview, telling tales from their early days and talking about going back to their avant-garde roots. They discuss Morley’s manifesto for the rejuvenated unit, which also includes former ZZT label manager Ian Peel, and describe themselves as “a sequel” to the original group. They claim there is another offshoot too, The Art Of That, which they say they’ll use “in shadowy ways”. True to form for the oddball electronic maestros, you should expect the unexpected.
