I think at least some of the confusion surrounding this particular Numan piece is that a lot of folks
confuse the (band) Radio Heart single(s) for the NRG Inc. ft. Gary Numan Radio CD Single.

Yes, as far as the band Radio Heart there was a 7 inch vinyl single, as well as a few 12 inch singles.
One of the singles had an instrumental version, and one was a "promo" etc.

Apart from all the Radio Heart releases there came a CD single, either not officially released, or
was sold as a CD-R through mail order (info differs regarding that) and was a 3 track more-or-less
remix/remake of the SONG Radio Heart, release by (band name) NRG Inc. ft. Gary Numan, just titled "Radio".

About the only real main differences between Radio Heart's "Radio Heart" and NRG Inc's "Radio" was
in the latter of the chorus instead of singing radio heart it's changed to radio, radio, and towards the
end of the song there's what sounds like a DJ talking over the music.

What you posted was one version of NRG Inc's Radio, either the Radio or the Heart mix, but either way
not one of the Radio Heart releases. Good to have, tho, at any rate. :wink:


Excellent that explains that then, thanks.

As clearly someone who knows his Numan stuff I wondered if you have a couple tracks that he appeared on from the 90's. These being "Are Friends Electric" by Generator, EN "While You Were Sleeping" and maybe NY or Yen "Love Is The Doctor"?

Thanks again for the info on Radio Heart/NRG much appreciated

Hi Rob,

Yes, I have those tracks you asked for. They are on another external drive, so
it might take some digging to turn them up. As soon as I've got them I'll upload them.

**Oops, what is this one? EN? I've never heard of that, but I have the others.

Cheers, & thanks again for taking a stab at the "Radio" track

Many thanks, very much appreciated. The EN track is mentioned on the NuReference website, there is also another track by The High Kings Of Tara called "Mars (Is Heaven)" that Numan appeared on. Apparently Numan's brother in law was in this band.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the clarification. Aside from the "EN" track I do have all the others you asked for, and
I am still going through several external hard drives searching for all those files.
As soon as I've got them all located, I'll post them, most likely as a New Topic, so
please bear with me, hopefully it won't me much longer.

Yes, I have the High Kings Of Tara track, as well, it's not very "Numaish" but he is on it.
Keep an eye out for a post, hopefully within a few days or so. :D
