Re: SHARE: Gary Numan

I'm glad you were able to get the files, and glad you liked them. If you hear or read about other "missing" Numan bits, that you
may not yet have heard, feel free to ask. I've got a LOT of Numan stuff, though because my files are all spread out over several
drives sometimes it can take me a while to locate any certain one.
Me, I like about half the songs from Strange Charm. I agree with you, it would've been great if Numan would've kept on with songs that had more of
the "world" sound, like My Breathing does, but from what I can remember reading at the time near the album's release, it was as if Numan had 2
musical directions to follow, and threw some of each on that album, so it (to me) sounds almost more like 2 separate EPs, which I think might
have worked better than releasing a bunch of mismatched songs as one album.
