"I don't suppose you ever laughed at me"

For this episode of Electric Friends, I look back at Gary Numan's 1985 album The Fury, and in particular its lead single 'Your Fascination'.

Including:

  • How Gary continued his funk/industrial style from Berserker
  • How radio continued to ignore him despite being a funky banger
  • How he turned to co-producers and took on a new songwriting technique for the album
  • Its music video co-starring his then-girlfriend
  • Theories to what the song is about

Clips used:

  • Gary Numan - Your Fascination
  • Gary Numan - Miracles
  • Gary Numan - Tricks
  • Retrosound - PPG Wave Soundscapes II
  • Gary Numan - Revolution (audiobook)
