Review

Melody Maker (6/28/97, p.51) - "...The best tracks here are...by people who... seem to appreciate the brutality of sound and approach that always characterized Numan's best music....synth-heavy slabs of austere electronics are as weird and powerful as half of what we call techno today."
Entertainment Weekly (6/13/97, p.69) - "With contributors as diverse as Jesus Jones and Gravity Kills, this two-CD tribute to Gary Numan is a satisfying scan of today's club culture....these hypnotic covers remind you of what made the originals so compelling." - Rating: B

Album Description

Gary Numan is known for robotic, stylized singing. His primitive electronics and pre-"new romantic" sound did nothing for me. A myriad, zealous voices will tell you that Numan was sings "good songs." Now, in this 2-CD collection of Numan interpretations you can hear those good songs without Numan's idiosyncratic delivery. The known and the unknown join to make proto-dance music out of mechanical master's material. Matt Sharp (Weezer) and Damon Albarn (Blur) cover "We Have a Technical." Also on the compilation are Gravity Kills, EMF, The Magnetic Fields, Jesus Jones, the out-of-place hip hop group Underdog (but, there's only one of them), Sukia, The Orb, Pop Will Eat Itself. One of my favorite cuts is "Metal" by Towering Inferno. Brian Eno described their Kaddish album as "frightening" and they are here joined by Eddie Reader. I also am very fond of the two versions of "Are 'Friends' Electric?" Techno rockers Republicaare joined by Numan himself for one version and Belgian discovery An Pierle offers another. ~ Tom Schulte
