4.0 out of 5 stars Another perfect landing, January 27, 2000

Yes, Gary has done it again with this new compilation album. I have practically all of Gary's Albums both on Vinyl and on CD. I have been waiting to hear his new material mixed in with the old. I am amazed at this man's capability after so many years of amazing music. In my opinion, Gary Numan's greatest hits CD would be a CD containing every song ever written and performed by himself. I would recommend this album to anyone with a taste for Gary Numan.

This CD represents an overview of fourteen years worth of Gary Numan. In that time, he had faded from guaranteed chart-act to a virtual outsider. It is also the time when he created some of his most interesting music. Criminally under-achieving singles like 'Berserker' and 'Call out the Dogs' are mixed the occasional outstanding album track, like 'Voix' and a re-working of 'Metal'. This album charts his flirtation with 'funk', and his present love affair with all things gothic (enjoy the darkness of 'Question of Faith' and 'Dominion Day' for example), and provides proof of his ability to write a heart-rending ballad ('Absolution'). This is a great cross-section of styles from all his ever-changing moods and is an excellent introduction to the metallic, synthesised world of Gary Numan.

What an amazing selection of songs ! Even for those who have all of the studio records.These carefully selected bunch are different versions to make it even better.Shorter 7 ¨ raio edit versions,reworkings,edits,etc.Even 4 reworkings from 98 in full industrial mode and the funkiest version of ¨Cars¨ taken from the live ¨White Noise ¨albums are included.The sound is remastered to perfection,and even the singles from ¨Sacrifice¨ (famous for their abysmal sound) sound excellent here !! I'd have included yet more tracks from ¨Outland ¨and ¨Machine And Soul ¨,but understand those are people's least favourites and that a comp has to be made with popular taste into account so I'm more than happy with this cd.75'of pure Numan history.WILL PUT A SMILE IN YOUR FACE TOO !!!
