 VH1.com : Gary Numan : Biography
For his part, Numan just kept on recording, and by the late '90s, he'd become a hip name to drop; prominent alt-rock bands covered his hits in concert, and a goth-flavored brand of industrial dance christened darkwave looked to him as its mentor.
Numan was born Gary Anthony James Webb on March 8, 1958, in the west London section of Hammersmith.
Numan returned in the fall of 1980 with Telekon, his third straight chart-topping album in Britain, and scored two Top Five hits with "We Are Glass" and "I Die: You Die"; "This Wreckage" later reached the Top 20.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock Z
This album is mostly electro-pop dance music, more in the vein of '80's bands like A Flock of Seagulls, The Human League, Howard Jones or Gary Numan.
There are a few cuts that aspire to a bit more, but the dance beat is thumping away on 90% of the CD.
Dubbed "Space Electronic Rock", you might get the idea that this album is something like Tangerine Dream, Gong, or maybe even Escapade or Quarkspace.

 Gary Numan: album reviews and ratings
Numan, a post modernist to the extreme, enfolded this strange album in an image of juxtaposition; a be-suited, fedora wearing, ghostly persona sitting before a wall of purple neon tubes that says much about the content.
Nowadays, Gary Numan's influence is perhaps as far-reaching as that of the performers who initially inspired his own work.
Make no mistake though, Tubeway Army and Gary Numan were synonymous.

 Gary Numan's innovative sounds created Detroit techno - and more - 04/20/01
When Gary Numan unleashes the concussive throb of his techno-fired industrial music at the Royal Oak Music Theatre on Tuesday, he'll probably trigger some vivid flashbacks for those who remember the heady early days of Detroit techno.
   Numan has recorded 20 albums in 22 years, but didn't release an album in the United States from '88 to '98.
"And Numan was one of the guys whose music really stuck, especially Cars' and the song 'Films.' It was like Numan and Kraftwerk were into black music whether they said it or not, and they were able to use machines to make these big sounds that had never really been heard before.

 FLUXEUROPA: GARY NUMAN - HYBRID
The 90s witnessed the release of three successful comeback albums influenced by gothic, dance and metal: Sacrifice (1994), Exile (1997) and Pure (2000), which received critical acclaim and bestowed a new credibility.
The new album sees Gary collaborating with a team of other artists, producers and DJs.
The Hybrid double-CD album, recorded late last year, features three new songs ('Hybrid', 'Crazier' and 'Ancients') and reworked tracks from across Gary's career.

1993 release on Beggar Banquet, in a double slimlinejewel case, featuring his albums 'Tubeway Army' (1978) and'Dance' (1981), each with bonus tracks.

 TrouserPress.com :: Gary Numan
Gary Numan (Webb) originally rose to UK prominence in 1979 with a frigid synthesizer dance hit, "Are 'Friends' Electric?" His basic sound — subsequently very influential in the dance music and new romantic spheres — began with precise, antiseptic synth handling much of the instrumental work, topped off with lobotomized deadpan vocals singing science-fiction lyrics.
His first album, Tubeway Army (released in America three years later as First Album), features primitive electronics and production that show some flair, though guitars dominate and compositions are locked into the three-minute post-punk structure.
Completists may also feel compelled to shell out for The Peel Sessions EP, three Tubeway Army songs ("Me I Disconnect from You," "Down in the Park" and "I Nearly Married a Human") recorded in January 1979, or the superseding Peel Sessions Album, which adds a second batch, four post-Army efforts recorded eight months later.

 John Foxx & Ultravox MEGASTORE
Foxx's appearances on the singles and album charts ended in the mid-80s, since which time he has balanced work as a graphic designer with his ongoing musical explorations, which included a foray into the dance scene with Nation XII.
Gary Numan cited Foxx as his main influence, which was some consolation for the fact that Numan was having hits when Ultravox were dropped by Island Records in 1978.
Foxx moved to London in 1974 where he became a key instigator in the rise of the UK electro-pop scene.

People who liked the earliest Thomas Dolby or Gary Numan's Tubeway Army will also find some resonances here (but, again, without the pointless vocals).
For fans of Hillage, Tim Blake or maybe even later Tangerine Dream type space music, this album is a gem!
There's also some '80's "techno-pop dance music" feel going on here too, but the lack of insipid vocals counts heavily in its favor.

 Gary Numan : interview
As he sees the compilation album Exposure - The Best of Gary Numan 1977-2002 released in celebration of his 25 years in the music business, Numan wants it known that being influential is all very well, but he doesn't appreciate being pigeonholed.
I just immerse myself in that stuff." Not the expected answer of an "electropop godfather" by any means - but Gary Numan has always been about more than that.

 Richard X - Presents His X Factor : album review
The 31st century R'n'B of After All with Kelis, or You (Better Let Me Love You X 4) Tonight with Electroclash icon Tiga, that could do serious damage to most right thinking dance floors and the gorgeous collaboration with Jarvis Cocker at the end of the album closes things off perfectly.
When a re-worked version of the second 'Girls on Top' record, featuring the Sugababes wailing over an old Gary Numan instrumental gatecrashed the top end of the charts last year, the transition from renegade to pop star was almost complete.
From bedroom maverick to internationally fĂȘted producer in the space of a year or two and just on the back of a few well chosen instrumentals and a capellas is quite some trick, even more so actually to go on to produce a great pop album.

 Flak Magazine: Review of The Faint's Danse Macabre, 10-05-01
Singer Todd Baechle sounds like an affected Robert Smith while speaking of death, suicide, murder and violence, trading in Blank-Wave Arcade's Duran Duran for Depeche Mode and Gary Numan.
Off the record and into the dance hall itself, the band’s studio work easily matches its live performances, which have audiences tossing, swaying and dancing together while the band performs among the excesses of 1980s rock music — smoke machines, strobe lights and facial make-up.
Baechle can moan his way through the album.

 Two Lone Swordsmen MP3 Downloads - Two Lone Swordsmen Music Downloads - Two Lone Swordsmen Music Videos
On From the Double Gone Chapel, their first album of new material in four years, Two Lone Swordsmen move forward by looking back at electronic punk, post-punk, and their forebears, including the work of Joy Division, the Normal, Suicide, Public Image Ltd., and Gary Numan.
After dissolving his Sabres of Paradise project and label, UK dance-don Andrew Weatherall set up the tripartite Emissions label group and launched his latest, perhaps most prodigious musical venture, Two Lone Swordsmen.
Prefuse 73 is the alias of Scott Herren, an experimental hip-hop producer whose material often features MCs buried in the mix to become more a part of the sonic texture than a focal point.
