The end is the beginning is the end
Hi.I don’t know if there’s anybody out there. I don’t get a lot of comments. I may only have two readers. I don’t know.But, that’s not what I do the blog for anyway. Let’s face it. We do it for the cash.I’ve decided to be a little more proactive with Continue Reading
Listening Post – Gary Numan -Pure
Gary Numan – Pure – 2000 Numan wasted little time building on the success of Exile. Okay, three years. But what a nice three years those must have been. Numan excoriated many of his fans’ beliefs on Exile, attacking God and had his biggest success in a while. So, after Continue Reading
Listening Post – Gary Numan -Exile
Gary Numan – Exile – 1997 Exile opens with the industrial return-of-Jesus-Christ song “Dominion Day”. It’s angry and ominous, almost confessional, bleak and harkens back to the previous album, Sacrifice, as a template for Gary’s revitalized direction. In other words, the funk is dead, bring on the dire.Once again Numan Continue Reading
Listening Post – Gary Numan – Random & Random 2(Tribute)
Gary Numan – Random & Random 2 – 1997 & 1998 I’ve never covered “tribute” or cover albums before. In 1997 I was in a now defunct record store on la Cienega Blvd in LA. I don’t even know how I ended up in a conversation with the girl working Continue Reading
Listening Post – Gary Numan – Sacrifice
Gary Numan – Sacrifice – 1994 This is not your father’s Gary Numan Record. Forget all that you know or knew of the former Mr. Webb. The saxophoniness? Gone. The futuro-electro-funk? Swept away.Gary’s got inspiration and it’s from God and that dark sludge we call the 90s.What I am actually Continue Reading
Listening Post: Gary Numan – Machine + Soul
Gary Numan – Machine + Soul – 1992 Dammit, dammit, dammit. I’m gonna listen to this all the way through because that’s the task I have presented myself. But…well, let’s just let Gary speak for the record:“I convinced myself [that Machine and Soul] was all right, that it was a Continue Reading
Listening Post – Gary Numan – Outland
Gary Numan – Outland – 1991 First off let me say that there is nothing inherently “wrong” with Outland. Some songs, like “Soul Protection” are actually just fine. They are cold, industrial piffle, but they don’t out and out suck.It’s the most Sci-Fi of Gary’s Groove-Metal albums. But it’s not Continue Reading
