This collaboration of both Gary Numan and Ade Fenton is brilliant! I think it's amazing that Gary wants to push the envelope and expand his horizons by creating music that sounds current to our time. Don't get me wrong his older albums were amazing but he's like an ageless wonder in the music industry. He adapts to the current music of todays world and finds his target audience. This simple fact is what will keep him one step ahead of everyone else.
i've introduced this video and song to many people. still think it's brilliant and a perfect match and complement to the song's music and lyrics. hope you're still making videos. :)

The music is abysmal soulless NIN plagiarism as usual. Now there's an imitator imitating the imitator with these absurd cross poses and vacuous words . Irrelevant, prurient mindless dirge about nothing. But the video is well made.
Fantastic...............I used to know Ade Fenton back in the day, top bloke, I had loads of time for him. Had a few laughs and got into some fight .............good to see hes making great music with the Big G............KEEP IT UP ADE -
Great video. Great track. Lame vocals. I'm a fan, but I don't like when he sings like this all breathy. Like the skull thing. Gary Numan has had the dorkiest image in modern music for so long, I don't know if I can deal with a "cool" Gary Numan.
Hi, I really enjoyed the video as much as the song. As a fan of old school industrial, I really liked how the video wasn't "too much" and focussed more on buildings and simple scenes. It reminds me of all these old videos: Front 242 (Headhunter), Frontline Assembly (Iceolate), Cabaret Voltaire (Sensoria) and Nine Inch Nails (Down in it). I could go on and on...you get the idea I guess :).
fabulous video, especially if it's your 1st. and i agree with the other comments, as much as i love gary's last few albums, his videos have always (for the last 12 years anyway, since he changed his musical style) looked a bit cheesy, as if he's trying too hard. it's hard to put your finger on what makes them like that - and i'm a huge fan so it's even more difficult to criticise - but this just feels more, i dunno, 'right'.
I'm a big Numan fan and would agree with brapped - this is the most watchable thing he's been in for a long time. I liked the style of other recent videos, like 'rip' and ''n a dark place', but this is far more atmospheric and downright chilling - great job!
why lame? i dont mind constructive critism... you feel it a bit cliched? i thought id try a new spin on the cliche though... like the lights on the building show a new skull, so its trying to bring the cliche up to date in some respects.. if you look closely when ade is the mirror shot it makes a skull subtely and gary shirt skulls... its was the main theme. Unless of course you just mean its poorely implemented in my defense i only learnt aftereffects after we shot the video!
Great video, apart from the skull thing, which was a bit lame, but overall, very good. The song took a while to grow on me and i still prefer the remixes on the single but hey...
honest to god its my first time and i have never trained at this. After effects and a powerbook worked the magic (as did the many many many hours put in!). Partciles effects in after effects for the eyes and warp distort for the facial distortions, although not entirely happy with all of them cus we ran out time, bearing in mind we had to learn all this software as well as implement it!
what daring to attempt such a thing and what daring to commsision just new un prepared talent. Glad it paid off. Often innovative ideas come to the untested.
how to win, be gary numan

actually the skull in the lights reminded me of the poster of the 80's slasher 'visiting hours', which i took as a nod to.
and does a 'video nasties' reference really hurt the creepy vibe you got going on in the video?
hell no!
