3 Ways a Forgotten Minimoog Shaped Gary Numan’s Replicas

A Minimoog was accidentally left in the studio during the first Tubeway Army sessions. Numan used it instead of ignoring it.

He put that Minimoog on the album Replicas. The sound defined the record and gave it a cold, robotic edge.

The album changed electronic music’s direction. Without that forgotten synth, the genre might have taken a different path.
