I think Numan has identified Foxx as an influence, ironically. Foxx

I'll try to dig up the source, but I believe Numan had the lead on
synth work and actually tutored Foxx in that light.
Ultravox wasn't nearly as synth-laden in the early days (it becomes
more predominant in Systems of Romance), and ironically, both
Ultravox and Foxx become much more synthesized AFTER Foxx left
Ultravox and Ure took his place. Billy Currie seemed much more in
the spotlight after Use stepped in.
You sure about that Jeff? Ultravox released stuff in 77 with synths, a
year before Numan.
