    Check out the label in the last image at the top of this page. Talk about a balls-up by the factory,
    I've never seen a label so badly misplaced on the disc in fifty years of collecting. SO glad that wasn't in my collection. The runout is un-usable and presumably the needle would career over the label.

      Superb pressing. Not his most accessible work at all, but if you’re a fan of his updated sound, it’s a must to get this.

        Purchased the bundle which included t-shirt, CD and double album. There is no entry for this.

          Numan back to his best with a great album which reached #2 in the U.K charts. An excellent album from start to finish and comparable to the classic years. Stand out tracks, : - Ghost Nation, My Name is Ruin, The end of Things, Mercy and Pray for the Pain you serve.

              A prophetic, terrifying album. I would describe the music as darkwave, and whilst Numan doesn't really innovate in the genre, his voice has withstood the ravages of time remarkably well and the songwriting is really good. The crossover between the sense of futility and waste that comes with age/mortality, and the ecological apocalypse that is the subject matter of the lyrics, is poignant. And very contemporary. It is ironic that the gloomy pioneer is now the nostalgic cynic. He was one of the first to prophesy the cyberculture in which we are now living in his coldly disembodied early technoir. He is now one of the first to count the cost of that coldness. Indeed, the final song is called "Cold". By extrapolating just a little into the future, Numan gets us to look back on our present with chagrin, hatred, embarrassment, misanthropy, even comion. Indeed, science fiction's shiny visions of high tech futures are always shadowed by apocalyptic undertones, which has been there in the more gothic elements of his work all along. Gary Numan has always been at least a little bit out of time, anachronistic. It is precisely this that has kept him relevant. This is astonishing work. ~*~
