Pete Shelley left the seminal punk band The Buzzcocks to make comparatively icy synthesizer rock (an interest revealed in the early Sky Yen). Homosapien and its offspring yielded some minor club hits, including "Homosapien" and "Telephone Operator." Though Buzzcocks fans will find the voice and songwriting structure familiar, Shelley's solo work is better appreciated by fans of Gary Numan, Peter Schilling and other cold-blooded clubbers.
