What it is
"Me! I Disconnect from You" is the opening track of Replicas, the 1979 album by Tubeway Army, written by Gary Numan. It is one of the album's Minimoog-driven synth songs. Replicas is loosely built around a dystopian near future of androids and machines, inspired by Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
