Gary Numan for Prog related! really!

he is bad, in fact he's probably getting a bit smelly now!

 

Numan is related to many styles - pioneer of techno, pioneer of dark synth tracks, pioneer of NIN Industrial style. His influence is huge. too many write him off as a one hit wonder with Cars. He is not doing any Cars-style or  related songs now. Check out his DVDs I have them - they are very dark and NIN like. NIN are here. Numan himself would want to be here.

 

i have emailed Numan on his website and I will tell you what he says.

 

"Dear Mr Numan. We are wondering on the progarchives website, is your music progressive, if so would that mean you should be added to the progarchives as an artist. Or are you more prog related. What is your opinion on the type of music you play. NIN are on the archives too just to let you know. If you talk to Trent Reznor can you ask him too? Ask what he thinks about being added to progarchives as an artist. i will pass all information to the administrators on a thread when you respond. Thanks"

John Foxx said this about him on myspace

 

 

"but Gary also opened up the gates of a new kind of non-format pop music - commercially successful slabs of dark metallic stuff that connected instantly to an entire generation. He altered the way that generation - and all the ensuing ones - listened to singles. Made it possible to have much darker, more adventurous and imaginative things going out there. That was his real success for me. We all owe him a huge debt for that, too." -- JOHN FOXX
