ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE 130 + 7" VINYL

10.10.25 - ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE + LTD. 7" RED VINYL

Electronic Sound marks the 45th anniversary of Gary Numan’s landmark album Telekon with a special cover feature and exclusive red vinyl seven-inch. The record includes two tracks personally selected by Numan — ‘I’m An Agent’ and ‘Remind Me To Smile’ — capturing the tension and brilliance of his 1980 classic.

In a wide-ranging new interview, Numan reflects on the turbulent period surrounding Telekon — a time of chart-topping success, stalkers, death threats, and a battle to remain grounded amid sudden fame. He discusses the inspirations behind the album’s mechanical edge and emotional core, revealing stories of dreams turned into songs and the uneasy relationship between image and identity.

The issue also features conversations with Carlos Alomar and George Murray (from David Bowie’s band), Adrian Sherwood, Fini Tribe, Bill Nelson, Scissorgun, John Maus, Sudan Archives, and Emma-Jean Thackray — spanning the past, present, and future of electronic music.
