6 / 10 Slowly but surely over the years, the perception of Gary Numan has shifted from faded pop relic to godfather of all electronic music – that Battles guest spot on ‘My Machines’ this year being something of a peak. The stage is now set for him to deliver a latter-day masterpiece that will spread his appeal beyond his hyper-devoted fanbase and into a new generation, but this – a collection of offcuts revamped in the industrial style that has characterised his recent work – isn’t it. The likes of ‘Big Noise Transmission’ and ‘The Fall’ are serviceable, but it’s the new album, due next year – ‘Splinter’ – that will more likely complete his resurrection.
