I know Numan sampled bits of movies in his music around this time, including Blade Runner, Predator, and I believe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but I can't put my finger on which movie he starts sampling 0:42, because I want to say Blues Brothers, but really, that would be the oddest addition; I don't see how that would correspond to the song itself.
I have to say this but this track somes up Gary's career.It is loaded with good ideas but loses its way.Just listen to the section starting at 2.47. It only lasts about 10 seconds but is the best bit on the track.Ten seconds of greatness in a 5 min song.That somes the guy up.
@LivingWorstNightmare Totally agree. I'm convinced that Numan thinks that the "B" in B~Side stands for "Best" because his B~Sides are oftentimes the best songs he makes.
