The CD set me back £15! But you can download the whole lot for £8! D'oh!

Thanks again .. amazing stuff..and what a gal! The sort of person that I'd go and visit if I travelled back in time.

That's seriously weird stuff.

So far today just Numans principle 'demo's which I / we remastered, as in cleaned.
Now Sharpe and Numan - 'Automatic' cd.

Funny that. I tried liking Joy Division.

I think Interpol is one of the best of the new groups.

Maybe you had to be there..

You're right it's great stuff! That post-war period was kind of like a Wild West of electronics; there was no 'cool'/rules/schools of thought to adhere to - just a lot of thoughts saying; 'What if?'

Hi Maryann,

I saw Interpol live and they were very, very good. Perhaps it's unfair to compare them to the mighty Joy Division but Interpol seem to be so in debt to them you can't help but draw comparisons.

When 'Control' the movie comes out later this year - give it ago, it may put the music of Joy Division in the right context.

Garry: Thanks. I will. I was being quite sincere about Joy Division. I was basically doing the reverse of what you did; looking backwards to what Interpol (and She Wants Revenge) was being compared with.
Joy Division never got much play here.


Today I am listening to The Buzzcocks.

Yes, thanks Garry. I had the same thing with listening to Interpol.

Have decided that Sharpe and Numans - 'Automatic' is IMO the best Numan'ish album from his middle years. Probably the best album from '82 til present.
