Replicas is the second and final studio album by English new wave band Tubeway Army, released in April 1979 by Beggars Banquet Records. It followed their self-titled debut from the previous year. After this, Tubeway Army frontman Gary Numan would continue to release records under his own name, though the musicians in Tubeway Army would continue to work with him for some time. Replicas was the first album of what Numan later termed the "machine" phase of his career, preceding The Pleasure Principle and Telekon, a collection linked by common themes of a dystopian science fiction future and transmutation of man/machine, coupled with an androgynous image and a synthetic rock sound.

  • Replicas is the second and final studio album by English new wave band Tubeway Army, released in April 1979 by Beggars Banquet Records. It followed their self-titled debut from the previous year. After this, Tubeway Army frontman Gary Numan would continue to release records under his own name, though the musicians in Tubeway Army would continue to work with him for some time. Replicas was the first album of what Numan later termed the "machine" phase of his career, preceding The Pleasure Principle and Telekon, a collection linked by common themes of a dystopian science fiction future and transmutation of man/machine, coupled with an androgynous image and a synthetic rock sound. Fuelled by a surprise No. 1 hit single, "Are 'Friends' Electric?", the album also reached No. 1 in the UK charts in July 1979 and was certified Gold by the BPI for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.

  • Replicas è il secondo album discografico dei Tubeway Army, pubblicato dalla Beggars Banquet Records nell'aprile 1979. Nonostante la pubblicazione sotto il nome della band, l'album è considerato opera del noto frontman Gary Numan, il quale ne ha scritto tutti i testi e la musica. Il disco fu anche prodotto dallo stesso Numan. L'album contiene il singolo Are 'Friends' Electric?, numero 1 nella classifica britannica singoli a giugno del 1979. È stato ristampato dalla Beggars Banquet Records nel 1999, con sei tracce aggiuntive, e nel 2008 in versione triplo CD, inclusa una prima versione completa dell'album, remix e versioni alternative.

  • Replicas är ett musikalbum från 1979 av den brittiska New Wave-gruppen Tubeway Army som leddes av Gary Numan. Albumet nådde 1:a plats på den engelska albumlistan efter att låten Are 'Friends' Electric? hade blivit etta på singellistan. Det var första gången som en synthesizer-baserad musik av en brittisk grupp blev kommersiellt framgångsrik och den banade därmed vägen för hela synthpop-genren. Dess inflytande har också märkts långt senare och i andra musikaliska genrer när artister som Marilyn Manson och Foo Fighters spelat in covers på Down in the Park och inte minst när den brittiska tjejpopgruppen Sugababes år 2001 baserade sin hitlåt Freak like me på en sampling från Are 'Friends' Electric?. År 2008 gavs albumet ut på nytt i en utökad redux-utgåva med singel b-sidor och en extra CD med tidigare, alternativa versioner av alla låtar från albumet som bonus. (sv)
