Advantages: COVERS ALL THE HITS / GOOD INTRODUCTION / CHEAP
Disadvantages: SHOULD BE A DOUBLE CD WITH HARD TO FIND TRACKS FOR THE DIEHARD FANS

...I’ve been a fan of Gary Numan since the early days (well 1979 !!!). This Gary Numan 18 track CD was release in May 1999 on the Beggars Banquet Label and is basically yet another best of release. However, if you are new to Gary Numan (even after twenty plus years), then this is a great introduction CD for you to explore and delight in the hits (old one’s and even older ones) from Gary Numan. The track listing consists of : 1. Cars - (Premier Mix) 2. I Die You Die 3. Are `Friends' Electric? 4. Down In The Park 5. We Are Glass 6. Bombers 7. We Take Mystery (To Bed) 8. She's Got Claws 9.

The turn of the century spun the wheel so it was them influencing him. 1999 saw Numan working in collaboration with the guys of Industrial-metal behemoths Fear Factory to produce the truly stunning cover of Cars. If you've seen the adverts for American Express Blue card recently - you've heard the beginning of that cover version. Halloween 1999 he made a guest appearance at Fear Factory's gig to perform it live at the Brixton... Read review
