One of electronic music's pioneers, Gary Numan fused synthetics and punk rock in the late '70s, eventually giving rise to the electro-pop craze of the early 1980s as well as the industrial styles that emerged later that decade. Remodulate compiles material from Numan's rare import albums. Disc 1 samples his studio work--excellent blends of synthetic grace, aggressive guitars, and soulful overtones, delivered with Numan's characteristically nasal vocals. "A Question of Faith" stands out, reminiscent of his work on Replicas, which, for Numan fans, is all you need to know. The second disc is all live, featuring many works from his early years, including stellar renditions of "Me, I Disconnect from You" and "Are 'Friends' Electric?" Remodulate is both a must for Numan fans who lack the imports and a good starting point for novices. --Michael C. Mahan

The later works are in my opinion - heavy on the dark, ... Read More

This resulted in some of the most breathtaking electronic music ever, and it influenced a generation (or two) of electronic musicians since then. His lyrics may claim to be cold and dark, but the music has such an upbeat feel that ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent Numan Compilation
Numan's talent and innovation are evident in Remodulate. The first disc, a collection of studio work, shows his range of styles and how he's changed over the years. The second disc, the live portion, excellently portrays Numan's live energy. The recording quality is very high, but still captures the essence of Numan's concerts.
