Throw in a healthy dose of production trickery including flanging, phasing, layers of reverb, and some solo violin, and you are the rest of the way there! Numan was influenced by the greatest pioneers of electronica - Kraftwerk’s epochal Autobahn ghosts the track ‘Cars’ (the very same synths were used!) – and, subsequently, he influenced a generation of new artists. Numan employed a variety of Moog synthesizers to realise The Pleasure Principle, achieving his trademark sound largely by use of the distinctive ‘Vox Humana’ setting. The album heralded the purely electronic, distinctly robotic sound that this modern icon has become most famous for today. On this record, his third solo effort (and first under his own name), Numan abandoned guitars completely, instead embracing a more synthetic style of production. Released about six months after Replicas, it was an instant commercial success, quickly reaching the dizzy heights of number one in the UK Charts. The Pleasure Principle was an important point of departure for Gary Numan, and a significant breakthrough moment in the context of his long and storied career.

Like Sharooz, many sound designers and developers are releasing their products for free to help music producers stay at home and stay creative during the COVID-19 epidemic. There are over 1GB of samples, all put through the best channel strips and converters around, unprocessed. I’ve really enjoyed these sounds, they’re my go-to palette. A few years ago I multi-sampled my favorite synths and drum boxes (100+ of them) in the event that if ever I couldn’t get there, I’d have instant access.
Working at my LA studio has been a privilege – sorely missed right now. The samples can now be downloaded completely free of charge.
