chart-topping Are Friends Electric, he had enough clout to convince his label (Beggar’s Banquet) to allow him to go with a solo identity.

The Pleasure Principle (Gary Numan album). Redirected from Engineers (song)). The Pleasure Principle is the debut solo studio album by English musician Gary Numan.

Starting things off with the atmospheric instrumental "Airlane," the quality of the songs gets stronger and stronger as the album progresses - "Films," ". " "Observer," "Conversation," the aforementioned "Cars," and the . Top Ten hit "Complex" all show Numan in top form
