Editorial Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Disconnection is a three-CD compilation of Gary Numan singles, B-sides, rarities and live cuts and spans his commercially fallow, post-Beggars Banquet period from 1984 to 1996.

Its release is presumably timed to coincide with the Sugababes 2002 UK chart topper "Freak Like Me", an inspired fusion of soul songstress Adina Howard’s "Freak Like Me" and Numan’s electro classic "Are ‘Friends’ Electric?". Inevitably, "Are ‘Friends’ Electric?" is here, though it’s a slightly stilted--but nevertheless rapturously received live version. Far better is a spirited swagger through "Cars".

Most of these live tracks were originally released as Ghost-- a fan club only album in 1986. Less familiar to all but the committed Numanoids is the bulk of the material on CDs One and Two. Of course, as Numan’s fans include the likes of Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan and Beck, it’s clear that Numan’s influence far outstrips his record sales. --Chris King
