Description

THIS IS PART OF A COLLECTION I BOUGHT FROM AN EX-RECORD LABEL EMPLOYEE. MANY OF THE ITEMS HE WAS GIFTED BUT NEVER PLAYED, SO IN THEORY ARE MINT. I'VE GONE WITH NEAR MINT AS CAN'T GUARANTEE THEY WERE NOT EVEN PLAYED ONCE. AS MANY ARE OVER 40 YEARS OLD I'VE GRADED THE COVERS INDIVIDUALLY, ALTHOUGH MOST ARE EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT
GARY NUMAN - SAVAGE - DOUBLE LP - NEAR MINT & EXTREMELY RARE AND HARD TO FIND - ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION
BMG 538307451, 2017
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 compassion. 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.
