Gary Numan in General
Newest Review: ... out, or soon) is definitive, it proves why the average Numan knowee doesn't know much more than the classic singles - ... more  ... that there isn't much else that is that's worth knowing. Yes, 'Cars' is still very lovely, 'Are 'Friends' Electric' is brilliant, as is the lesser 'Down In The Park'; but everything else is quite good or laughable in retrospect. Remember, Gary was part of what was both good and bad of the Thatcher decade. There are early punk songs collected here, which have about as much bite as a toothless dog. The fact that Gary's brittle and monotone, sometimes inaudible drone is anodyne is...more |

Yes. Gary Numan is eclectic to a certain extent. The poor man's David Bowie fused glamorous art with sci-fi leanings and brought us the supermarket Kraftwerk at the rollover of post-punk, flattening down the ground for the nouveau romantics, with this probable one-finger keyboard stylee. But, the born Gary Webb isn't such a stormtrooper in drag after all. He's no one hit wonder, but bar his early (not ultra early) works, there's not too much to salivate over.
