Interesting comment. Exile was certainly more "Numan".
Personally I think it's time for him to shift genre again - something more like Sacrifice, but with the production of Jagged could work nicely.
This is why I'm looking forward to
Resurrection so much... songs leftover from the Exile and Pure sessions... Mmm!
