  • Fantastic song from a fantastic album-I remember the vinyl copy that I got was 1 of a batch that were faulty so I had to buy a Cd version.

  • Big respect to Bill Nelson for guitar.....

  • Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!

  • someimtes this is my favorite song and video of numan, his return-to-britain song.

  • Yes, it's pretty sad - Gary looks likes a hopeless PHAG in most of his vids. 

  • @janbillian But this was the best his fake tan ever looked back then, in this vid. In other pics, that fake tan from back then was very YIKES!!!

  • As a skilled aerobatic pilot he was certainly not in barf mode as suggested - and as for teh vid - maybe it;s because I fly too - but I think it fits gloriously with the whole swoopyness of the sound., Can never listen to teh track without thinking of flying

  • Most of the time in the plane, he looks like he's gonna barf up....

  • @jetPJockey true the lyrics do fit well

  • Love Gary numan!!!

    Pioneer of Electronical Pop and darkwave

  • Why did Gary look so awfully gay on the cover of this album?

  • I can just imagine playfully, what the discussion was like with his producers after this video:

    Gary: "So, what did you think?"

    Pros: "Well, to be honest Gary, it's a little low budget looking...and it doesn't exactly fit the song..."

    Gary: "But it's got planes it in!"

    Pros: "Err, what do the planes have to do with it?"

    Gary: "It's a metaphor"

    Pros: "For what??"

    Gary: "........Can I go now?" ^_^

  • Lol at a video being made for this track, it really dosen't do the song justice to be honest. But still an absolute classic track from an amazing album so electronic engineering precision.

  • Yeah Gary and his planes man!

  • This is almost up there with 'Emotion' as one of the worst excuses for a video he ever did. The song's still colossal though!

  • I couldn't agree more-this is the kinda video that makes you wanna cry from poorness. That look was not one of my faves for him either. I wish I could have redone his bad vids-they'd be much tighter to match good songs like this one! :)

  • I like his idea, but it just looks tacky with him in the cockpit in the outfit; too much like White Boys And Heroes too, which is a cool video, but this is just too much with little pay-off.

  • @KingOfUm there is nothing cool about the wb&h video. he looks like a complete idiot. HE ALWAYS DOES. love the guy's music, but his image always sucked. at least this one doesn't feature 'gary laughing and having a good time like regular humans do.'

  • I think the only music videos of his that aren't really terrible are Metal and Pure; Metal, because he's mostly just standing around, gives a cool atmosphere I think without being pretentious; and then Pure, because it's live footage (I think?) and so there isn't a lot of distracting what-nots and how-nows. But the one with him and Sharpe is just terrible.

  • @KingOfUm Pure didnt have a music video. I know which performance your refering to but i dont think it was an actual promo.

  • I always figured it was since it was so cleanly filmed and edited.

  • @KingOfUm And Cars, I like that vid

  • @jrmetmoi I like it too with the exception of the tambourine, both in the song and video, I always thought it clashed horrible (don't think it sounds great either, I'd prefer banging on a wind chime).

  • @KingOfUm Hey you can't mess around with that sweet tambo-vision that Gary had in that vid now! LOL

  • @jrmetmoi I guess I have no taste for synthesizers and tambourines in the same song; the magnitude of it simply doesn't register in my brain.

  • Not an aviation enthusiast are we? I think it's a good video.

  • Gary isn't actually flying the T-Bird (T-33 Trainer) , its being flown by Capt "Dizzy" Adicot, It wasn't till later that Gary had the ratings to fly anything close to this.Great Vid all the same, lyrics fit flying really well.

  • I think Gary has a Telekon themed plane too

  • This video reminds of Bowie's China Girl video fairly early on in this vid!!

  • must be one of the best air displays ever! i,d have loved to be in the plane with him. it would have been very exciting.

  • Numan the pilot.  Kicks ass!!!!!!!!!

  • @p717

    Indeed. Big respect to the man. He did his own thing and was way ahead of the pack.

  • Numan showing off - the jammy bästärd - I'd kill to fly one of those things!!!

    Great memories - thanks for uploading, PatrickIngham21

  • Excellent track Long live Gary !!!

  • Excellent track. Long live Gary !!!!

  • nice one......still remember
