Gary Numan released Telekon, my favorite of his records, in 1980. It was the first vinyl I bought as a teen in the 90s. Hearing this intro track and the album that followed was mindblowing. Definitely listen to this whole record if you get a chance.

📻 We are broadcasting a ZX Spectrum game over the air in collaboration with Radio Student! This week marks Radio Student's 55th anniversary, and they were among the European stations broadcasting computer programs over the radio in the 1980s, a tradition we are reviving. The game being aired is Kontrabant 2, originally released by Radio Student in 1984. 🎮
