Well Mr Painter it seems we may have some similar tastes in music - I notice quite a lot of what you seem to like I do to!
Which is great because I thought I’d be the only one on here that likes what I do!
So it’s nice to know I’m not totally alone 
especially when it comes to our Gary as we say over here as I gather you’re on the other side of the world - but then so is he now - sort of!
Oddly enough I was never a huge fan of Mr Numan, always found his work a little cold. But I’ve changed my mind. Cheers.
I think at the beginning that was what he wanted and how he felt - he then tried too hard for acceptance and popularity before going back to a certain extent on his more recent material. I did get to meet him in 1983 and he was a bit of an ………… but then I think he was just trying to be the “rockstar” his autobiography landed on my doorstep today in softback form so I might just start reading through it in a while!
Must admit I sometimes do - don’t know why - it’s one of his best but I never seem to listen to it much - I think I’ll rectify that straight away……
thanks
Remember actually taking it to a dem in Sheffield - at 6trees - spent a few hours just talking to the guy doing the dem just about that album - turned out he was a big fan too……
I had to go and look her up.

Playing the version on the server rather than trying the LP since my head is still full of COVID snot.
Alabama 3. La Peste. Excellent second album.
