Okay, so any discussion of rock and pop music as it relates to post-evolution should include this brit and his band, the Tubeway Army, who had a great original techno sound in 1979, and his aesthetic approach and lyrics were quite thoughtful and engaged with issues of cloning, technology, and electronic developments, like the whole universe of computers. This predates the Internet and Depeche Mode and all that techno that would follow. With age, Numan has lost some of his youthful androgynous look which is quite often used in technobands to reflect the nature of technology's affect on the animalistic side of humanity, but his music still holds up.
