 | Tubeway Army: Remastered by Gary Numan
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £4.91 Stripped-down, minimalist electronica with a punky edge. Contains some of Numan's most bizarre (and best) lyrics
|
 | Replicas by Gary Numan
Buy used from: £4.97 Crying out for bigger, better production, but a landmark electronic album nonetheless. Numan's sci-fi 'concept' comes across as a little juvenile now, but is entertaining stuff for all that
|
 | The Pleasure Principle + 7 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
Buy new: £4.52 / Used from: £4.72 The definitive early Numan album. Never have analogue synths sounded so powerful and relevant. A masterpiece.
|
 | Telekon + 6 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
Buy new: £4.45 / Used from: £4.37 Rich, lush and, at times, strikingly beautiful. Marred only by Numan's self-pitying lyrics; but it does at least prove that Numan was far from being 'emotionless', as critics claimed
|
 | Dance + 5 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £5.59 A genuinely haunting piece of music. Dark and disturbing, yet ambient and soothing at the same time. Numan's most experimental and personal album. In many ways it's the most mature thing he's done.
|
 | I Assassin: Remastered by Gary Numan
Buy new: £4.66 / Used from: £5.58 A surprisingly upbeat album. Unfortunately, most of the songs, while catchy and likeable, are constrained by Numan's unwillingness to improvise and let things run their own course
|
 | Warriors: Remastered by Gary Numan
Buy new: £4.42 / Used from: £4.70 A criminally underrated album that rewards repeated listenings. A strange mutant mix of jazz, guitar rock, funk and electronica. In some ways, Numan's most original album.
|
 | Berserker by Gary Numan
Buy used from: £34.52 Heralds a significant shift in Numan's approach as he begins to adopt more obviously contemporary production techniques in an attempt to keep himself relevant. Sonically, a powerful album.
|
 | The Fury by Gary Numan
Buy new: £5.75 / Used from: £5.73 Numan discovers sampling.One of his edgiest, most schizophrenic albums. Industrial clatter shares uneasy space with saxophones and crooning, female vocals. Imperfect, but years ahead of its time.
|
 | Strange Charm by Gary Numan
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £5.03 Numan's 'forgotten' album. Tries too hard for commercial appeal, but when he lets himself relax he is still able to produce moments of authentic menace.
|
 | Pure by Gary Numan
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £4.89 The album that put Numan back on the map. No longer under pressure to produce hit singles, Numan rediscovers his muse. Dark, demonic and LOUD.
|
 | Hybrid by Gary Numan
Buy used from: £17.98 Proof that when Numan allows others to become involved in his work, the results can lift his songs into a whole new stratosphere.
|
 | Random - Exclusive covers of Gary Numan by Various Artists
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £5.50 Excellent tribute album from some big (and some not so big) names. Two fingers to the reviewer who once said that 'no one of worth' would ever be influenced by Gary Numan. A vindication of faith.
