Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

Gary Numan: Live in London (cd 1 only as I ran out of time ) I will listen to cd2 tomorrow.

........and your thoughts on first listen M??

All in all I liked the tracks. Dominion Day and Voix were some of my faves. And the version of Films was good also.

The sound quality could have been better though (or was it just me )

Live in London? Do you mean the Shepherds Bush album?

I'm still on a Numan vibe too - 'Replicas' today.

Visage : The Damned Don't Cry

(sort of getting ready for Strange Cruise..)

Yes thats it, and Maryann's just finished playing cd2 on the way to work. 'Cars' was a big let down for her because it included, and i quote - 'cow bell sounds'.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Of course, if it was the Roland 808 cowbell sound, that'd be different!

I think the Shepherds Bush live album is fantastic - I was playing it earlier! It really captures the live sound and energy of a Numan gig.

Listening to a variety of Numan albums today...

...I think he's been using those cowbells during "Cars" since 1993. You'll be pleased to know that there wasn't a cowbell in earshot on Saturday when the track was played as an encore.

Instead, they've obviously got a pig, hidden behind Ade Fenton's synth rack, that grunts its way though the song.

News travels fast.

I stand by my words. That sound was ridiculous and ruined the whole song for me. It was one of those 'what was he thinking?'moments.
