Ya know, if the average person saw a normal looking guy with a voice that's barely recognizable from "Cars" leaning on a conehead saying "put their fingers in a dyke" they'd be incredibly confused and offended.

To a numanoid it all makes sense.

Love the intro of this song and the funky guitar.

@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 Thanks again! I'm enjoying listening to this stuff again after such a long time. Praise must go the engineer, who sadly died last year, who got such a great bass sound out of my Wal fretless.

I'd love it if Gary called me up. Perhaps I should try and make contact with him myself....

@danielscourt hi again, here am i is at the following link: watch?v=r2pTzY2ZBUA (you will need to type in the w...youtube...

i wonder if you and numan could hook up and do a "Berserker" tour? He has toured three of his early albums in the last 5 years or so!

@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 Thanks for your kind words! I wouldn't know which track "Here Am I" is, I'm afraid. I did a lot and they didn't have titles when I played my bass part. I remembered this track, though, because it was done for a TV show.

Gary gave me a lot of freedom to come up with stuff that he liked. It was a lot of fun.

He asked me to tour with him, but I was very busy at that time, so I had to say no. I'm sure my life would have been very different if I had said yes....

@danielscourt take a bow sir, your playing is imo the best of any Numan work with the exception of the late great Mick Karn on "Dance". My favourite Numan track carrying your distinctive style was the 12" B-Side "Here Am I". I don't suppose you could post a video of you playing it!!! With the greatest of respect to Andy Coughlan your playing had distinction and originality. Were you invited on the tour? Did Numan give you much idea of what he wanted in the studio or were you given freedom?

[danielscourt]

@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 I'm Martin Elliott. Still playing the bass, mainly for Michael Nyman these days, plus some bands in my local area.

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

@danielscourt does that make you either Andy Coughlan or Martin Elliot?

[danielscourt]

Thanks for posting this - I played bass on this track! I always liked it and have it on video, but now I can show my students via YouTube.
