Album Description
Originally co-produced with Bill Nelson in 1983, the album continues Numan’s ambient-funk experimentations and has aged surprisingly well. It has been remastered from the original studio analog tapes and given a new clarity and detail to the sound. The 6 bonus tracks include the single version of ‘Sister Surprise’, a previously unreleased, extended version of ‘Warriors’, a newly discovered song and some of Numan’s most popular b-sides.

Customer Reviews

Misunderstood
Quite simply, brilliant! You could almost hear the collective sneer of old-time Numanoids across the country when this one came out, as Gary showed that musically he was prepared to grow up, even if many of his fans weren't. The Mad-Max image was silly, admittedly, but don't let that fool you: while the image was Numan's olive-branch to the sci-fi heads who had helped make him a star, the music and the lyrics show a man who was no longer prepared to be pigeon-holed. This is jazz-fuelled electronica at its best, with Numan reflecting, but refusing to remain trapped in the past. The real future is beckoning, he seems to be saying, and it may be unknown and hostile; but clearly by this point in his career he couldn't wait to get there. Warriors, The Iceman Comes, The Rhythm of the Evening, all these are personal favourites and I agree with a previous poster who said that I Am Render is underrated. It isn't classic Numan by any means, but it's nowhere near as bad as others would have you believe. This album's not everyone's cup-of-tea, of course, but don't let the philistines put you off. Try it, you might find you like it!

A great album,well produced.
this is one of my favourite albums from numan,its the one i find myself going back to over again,i think its probably the best produced album too,very crisp and clear,almost has a jazz feel to it with sax and heavy bass guitars but still plenty of synths too.
My favourite tracks are The iceman comes and This prison moon,they still remind me of the Warriors tour,great to see they have put the B sides of the singles on this new cd version too,if you like Numan you need this cd.

numan at his best
quite simply the best album gazza had released up until that time.I had been waiting ages for this to come out onto cd. i play this to death.in one word SUPERB
