people, including gary, dont like the albums right after Telekon, but i think of Gary the way i think of Metallica... there is great stuff on the albums following the first, most loved albums. there is crap AND genius.
@kiwijohn01 ooops it was Mick Karn on Dance - my mistake ! I was watching Chameleons just before I posted that Pino comment - they are BOTH bad ass bass players though :) apologies for the goof.
Dance-I, Assassin-Warriors, Numan's greatest, most innovative and experimental period in terms of songwriting and production (for me anyway)
Other great songs from the trilogy--Night Talk, Slowcar to China, A Dream Of Siam, War Games, The Image Is, The Iceman Comes (check out Peter Lazonby's breathtaking remix on Random 02), Love Is Like Clock Law, The Rhythm of the Evening . . . but they're all good
This was the first album i heard of garys, mainly because mick was on it and i am a big fan of Japan, and was searching for more music to listen to in the same vain, and boy! did i open a can of worms.
job well done, nice bit of showing the lyrics. an excellent track from this album, which marks another change in direction for gary. the machine phase of his career was behind him now. new elements of jazz and funk, and the distinctive fretless bass of mick karn, from japan, was the new numan sound. also featured are roger taylor of queen on drums, of course nash the slash- violins, and chris payne- violas are abundant. some would say one of gary's best albums, i would tend to agree.
Dance and I.assassin are Numans best, with replicas coming in at third.THat is That. I think DAnce is one of the best albums EVER MADE by anyone!!!I am talking BRILLIANT GENIOUS here.....and I used to believe that only select people were cool enough to even know about this guy and his non-comercial stuff....I am happy that there are others out there who are as knowledgeable as I
i cant believe in a numan interview gary thought this was a bad album he did a subway called you is my all time numan fav, so i covered it in my own style to see what it would sound like
One of his great tunes. It is so relieving to hear it again after all these years and purchase after purchase of the Dance album, which seems to be constantly stolen by friends and transiants. Such a masterful writer. This comes with constant persistance. Oh, to have free time again. I have enjoyed Mick and Pino for so many years. "Gary", a Hero, along with Frank Zappa. Such contrast, such brilliance. Call me old fashioned, but they dont make 'em like they used to. HAHA
this is probably my favourite numan track ever, usurping down in the park - a hallowed track among retired numanoids - a few years ago. i've bought the albums of the past 10 years, but they're not for me, and manchester 2003 will probably be the last concert. this track is sublime. hugely underrated song.
I bought my first Numan album in '80. Subway Called You has been on my short list of faves since Dance in '81. Not saying I'm a bigger fan than anyone else, just that I think his music used to sparkle more - even the heavy tunes. When he turns in a new direction, it's always golden, but reaches an end. The risk of not leaving a comfort zone. This hard metal industrial goth is a very specific item. He's great at it but it's not yielding any more surprises. Dance and Telekon, my God!
Perfect.

Dark and Eerie track this! what a great album Dance is.
Perhaps It would have been interesting if he had continued to work with Mick Karn

Excellent. The lyrics are ingenius. The vocals are
just about good enough, but the production on the
vocals is fantastic. Christ, why can't Gary produce
genius like this now?
