Bleep

Beggar’s Banquet compiles the best of the innumerate classics from seminal British new-wave artist Gary Numan. Representing pieces from both his solo career and his Tubeway Army outfit, Premier Hits demonstrates some of the visionary, early synth-pop pieces that have undoubtedly left large fingerprints in a lot of today’s electronic music. Crucially, the ‘Premier Mix’ of ‘Cars’ features – a now staple of the new-wave genre, along with the blazen synth arpeggios of ‘Are Friends Electric’, where Numan’s stone-faced, nihilistic demeanor is more striking that ever. A truly vital collection for newcomers and die hards alike.
