Down in the Park (1998 Remaster)

There aren't many upsides of being 60, but being in my teens when Tubeway Army and Gary Numan walked into my life when I was in High school is one of them 🖤

I’m 61 and still love numan one of his best songs still sends chills down my spine

A child of this time. 57 years old and still listen.

I'm 31 so unfortunately missed him at it's peak i just came across Numan's music over the past year or so. Now I can't get enough he's a musical genius. Between his older music and more recent he's just brilliant! Can't wait to see him live in a few weeks, so happy he's still going and i get too! 🎶🖤

Still sounds fantastic in 2023

Down in the park Where the mach-men meet the machines And play 'kill-by-numbers' Down in the park with a friend called five I was in a car crash Or was it the war But I've never been quite the same Little white lies like I was there ... Come to "Zom-Zom's", a place to eat Like it was built in one day You can watch the humans Trying to run Oh look there's a rape machine I'd go outside if he'd look the other way You wouldn't believe The things they do ... Down in the park Where the chant is "death, death, death" Until the sun cries morning Down in the park with friends of mine We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you A different face but the words never change

Both Tubeway Army albums with Numan are brilliant.

Right now, my kids think it's strange that I'm cranking up Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy and Gary here.

Unfortunately for me I discovered Gary later in my life. I see what an incredible influence he was on the future of music. His particular way of setting the mood and telling a story is pure genius.

This is what I oil painted to when I was a teenager! When yo listen your imagination can go far! Inspiring! Just listen!

Likely one of the most legendary songs of all time, covered many times but never replicated.

0:33 “down in the park with a friend called 5” idk why but i love this

Such a gorgeous track, incredibly meditative, and still fresh/poignant. Love the keyboard melodies and the overall atmosphere.

This album burrowed it's way into my consciousness when I was a teenager and it affects me just as deeply today. Thank you Gary and Tubeway Army 🙏🥰

Out of this world..

Gary's haunting lyrics take me at first back to an almost care-free childhood, which i cant ever get back, very unique voice and he loves entertaining in his very own style~ just who he is, J'adore that and Gary 🎹🔥🎸🎹🔥🎸🎵🎶

The guy is bloody brilliant!

gary numan, tubeway army replicas was the first album my dad baught me in 1979 , after this went to all his concerts was never disapointed with them great lights and stage set up

Timeless classic. C ~ April 2024
