5.0 out of 5 stars Highly reccomended!, December 31, 2000

This review is from: Replicas Rubato (Audio CD)

I happened to spot this disc in a funky record store with a handwritten note that it was highly reccomended. This was slotted with Gary Numans discs, and being a big Numan fan, I purchased it. Gary had already done a piano-ony version of "Down in the Park", but this builds upon and expands on that. It's a very full disc and the song selections are among my favorites (Storm Troopers in Drag, Down in the Park, Slowcar to China, Praying to the Aliens). This disc really brings the melodies to the surface but Terre also brings in some interpetation. Quite brilliant, when you consider the bulk of Gary's work is synthetic/electric by nature, hearing them in a stark setting of a piano-onl setting gives you a very different perspective on Gary's work that's both disquieting and familiar at the same time. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend this to any real Numan fan, and I think it holds up as a wonderful CD of piano music for someone totally unfamiliar with Gary Numan!
