Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room NUMAN

Thanks Ivan. What a splendid idea!
And just for that, I'm now going to play the LOVE album again.

Is wrestling fixed?

“... Like a lot of people at the time I really enjoyed Numan's first four albums (TA/R/TPP and Telekon)”

Agree with this (although I think ‘Dance’ is one of his masterpieces) - for me its:

78-81 You are a god and I will worship you forever

82 You are good and I will worship you forever

83 You are good and I will worship the Bill Nelson bits forever

84 You’re alright you are, nice make-up…but…um a bit Level 42 in places

85 Mr. Webb – there is no way out from screechy backing vocals, saxaphones and Vauxhall Conference funk

86-88 Mr.Webb these nice men want to talk to you and they’re only wearing white coats so as not to scare you.

89 – 94 NURSE! NURSE! MEDIC! ANYONE! We have a Synth Pioneer down! Synth Pioneer down!

94 – present. You have my total respect for getting your mojo back, but that sort of music holds no interest for me at all – still love your old stuff though guv.

The new Telekon Live album is fantastic. A perfect reminder of just why I love Gary Numan's music.

Damn it . .that evasive Live Telekon thing keeps cropping up. I'll be having funny dreams again.

You and me both! Is it out? Why is not in the shop? What's going on? What's life all about? Who shot Nice Guy Eddie? etc etc etc

That's EXACTLY it. That thump-slapping bassline/guitar is just unbearable...

Well then Happy Birthday to you. You certainly don't sound 80 today.

I thought not.

After the Numania on this thread yesterday, I had a brief listen to Warriors...but only got as far as 'I Am Render' I'm afraid before I had to switch to something else.

I haven't listened to Metal Rhythm since it came out, so can't tell you what I think of it now. 'America' stuck in my head though - for all the wrong reasons, it did seem really naff. There was that whole 'Radio Heart/London Times'period as well which was just soooooooo BAD

I've found out that it (and the DVD) were sold at the gigs and now only available on e-bay at extortianate prices, but possibly in the near future available on Nu-site etc. etc. . .(cf. Metal Beat).
Well that's life, but I'm not sure about this Eddy chap.


edit. here's a DVD ..Rads: can't you get them at Camden Market or something?
