I kind of gave up on Gary Numan when he went all funky and fretless bass, perhaps around about the time of Warriors and Berserker. After that I didn't take him too seriously. I couldn't be bothered with his 'personas'. That worked at the beginning, the Mach Man and Telekon, but by the time he got to Mad Max with a fretless bass in the ... Read the complete review

This album proves that Gary Numan is still a force to be reckoned with on the music scene. From 80's Electronica to this new, dark and brooding sound, Gary belts out such hits as "Pure", "RIP" and "Prayer For The Unborn". His new sound is far removed from his early eighties synth hits, giving him appeal to ... Read the complete review

Gary who-man? Many of you might ask (sorry about that shamefully bad pun). Well for all of you musical philistines out there he's a bloke who was quite big in the eighties (particularly with the song 'Cars') which usually equates to being pretty horrendous but not in Gary's case. At one time Gary Numan's ... Read the complete review

'Pure', released in October of 2000, marks the return of one of the most relevant icons in the rapturous abyss that is dark music. For many, 'Pure' will immediately elicit responses from half-amused disbelief to laughter to... Oh, you get the picture, right? But to many "in-the-know", following Gary Webb on his ...

I was very lucky in meeting Gary's wife several years ago. She was a fellow Mission/Sisters fan & we got on really well. I met Gary on several occasions & found him to always be a lovely guy; all the time in the world for his fans & really into his music. This is relevant, because of one conversation that sticks in my mind, ... Read the complete review

OK, you should have all finished doing double takes now. Yes, this is a Gary Numan album and yes it is in the hard rock category (Or at least it should be!!!). It’s all a bit convoluted but basically Gary Numan has transformed himself from the strange little man of electro pop he used to be into a Trent Reznor like electro rock ... Read the complete review

2000's *Pure* album saw the Eighties King, Gary Numan, make a triumphant entry into the new millennium. No retro- eighties stylings here, rather a full circle of influences taking him to a new place. 15 years ago r Numan was inspiring the likes of Trent Resnor, Burton C Bell, and a whole raft of other people, who then spun off into ...
