Gary Numan needs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 40 years of influencing the music we listen to today, and still writing fresh brilliant new music! Nobody deserves it more! Another amazing song, can't wait for the album!
I interviewed Gary after a Manchester gig in the early eighties for local radio. He was polite, generous and decent which made the job so much easier than I was used to. Since then I have been in his camp and so pleased to see him still out there. He is a proud dad, a talented pilot, a humble man and a groundbreaking British musician. He gets my vote.
One of the most unique voices in music. He needs to be recognized more.
Trademark Numan. He must be one of the few artists to have successfully moved on from the eighties. He has such a huge catalogue of fine music that he’s written and recorded, post eighties. It’s really a tonic to see him play such a diverse range of music at concerts from every decade since the days of tubeway army upto present day. I love this track. Gary, has an amazing nack of pulling out ace cards with obsessively addictive choruses! Brilliant!!
