Influences: Drastic Plastic, recorded in the summer of 1977 and released early the following year, radically recast Be-Bop Deluxe at the forefront of arty, futurist New Wave music. The only other people doing this at that point were Ultravox!, David Bowie and Brian Eno. Aside from those, only Kraftwerk and the Residents can audibly be cited as influential on this landmark album.
