This episode delves into the making of the song, why G…

"We're in the building where they make us grow, and I'm frightened by the liquid engineers, like you." For this episode, I look back at one of Gary Numan's best-known and best-loved songs, 'Metal', from 1979's The Pleasure Principle. The track was the first song on the album with lyrics, and was inspired by the writings of Philip K Dick, about a ma…

"Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter" In 1997, Gary Numan followed his career-rebooting Sacrifice album with the critically-acclaimed Exile. It was the closest thing to a concept album that he had recorded, delving into a world where God and the Devil were the same. In this episode, I look back at perhaps its most well-known song,…

Gary Numan's 1986 album Strange Charm was not a happy one for him, and while it might be a forgotten LP compared to others, it still has a lot of... well... charm.

"This is not love, this is not even worth a point of view..." In 1980, Gary Numan released one of his greatest singles, the top 10 hit 'I Die: You Die'.

By the late 2000s, Gary Numan had become a father to three girls, and his career had been better than ever. However, for various reasons, he found himself with serious bouts of depression. This depression led to the writing of his next album, 2013's Splinter. One such track that tackled the themes of depression and life apathy, was the epic 'Here i…

"Now it's all over for sure, I'll walk back home..." In 1981, Gary Numan said goodbye to his fans with his epic Wembley shows, which was meant to be his retirement from live performance (thankfully, it wasn't). The year before, he had recorded 'Please Push No More', a piano-synth ballad that dealt with his feelings about fame, fans and critics. Thi…

"They say that I'm all over, I don't know..." In 1988, Gary Numan released his first album under the IRS Records label, and despite good reviews and an improvement on previous albums, Metal Rhythm didn't get him back in the charts. Taking on a Robert Palmer-style hard rock meets electronic album, the LP featured the lead single 'New Anger', about h…
