So, the designer of the inserts was naughty and put in a "secret coded message." See if you can figure it out. (Highly doubtful that either Numan or the producer knew about it.)

Get hold of this collection, and you can basically skip everything between Berserker and Sacrifice.

CD Reviews

Another perfect landing

Levi Lange | Loveland, Colorado | 01/27/2000

"Yes, Gary has done it again with this new compilation album. I have practically all of Gary's Albums both on Vinyl and on CD. I have been waiting to hear his new material mixed in with the old. I am amazed at this man's capability after so many years of amazing music. In my opinion, Gary Numan's greatest hits CD would be a CD containing every song ever written and performed by himself. I would recommend this album to anyone with a taste for Gary Numan."

Cold Metal Rhythm

"This CD represents an overview of fourteen years worth of Gary Numan. In that time, he had faded from guaranteed chart-act to a virtual outsider. It is also the time when he created some of his most interesting music. Criminally under-achieving singles like 'Berserker' and 'Call out the Dogs' are mixed the occasional outstanding album track, like 'Voix' and a re-working of 'Metal'. This album charts his flirtation with 'funk', and his present love affair with all things gothic (enjoy the darkness of 'Question of Faith' and 'Dominion Day' for example), and provides proof of his ability to write a heart-rending ballad ('Absolution'). This is a great cross-section of styles from all his ever-changing moods and is an excellent introduction to the metallic, synthesised world of Gary Numan."

WORTH EVERY PENNY !!!!!!!!!

"What an amazing selection of songs ! Even for those who have all of the studio records.These carefully selected bunch are different versions to make it even better.Shorter 7 ¨ raio edit versions,reworkings,edits,etc.Even 4 reworkings from 98 in full industrial mode and the funkiest version of ¨Cars¨ taken from the live ¨White Noise ¨albums are included.The sound is remastered to perfection,and even the singles from ¨Sacrifice¨ (famous for their abysmal sound) sound excellent here !! I'd have included yet more tracks from ¨Outland ¨and ¨Machine And Soul ¨,but understand those are people's least favourites and that a comp has to be made with popular taste into account so I'm more than happy with this cd.75'of pure Numan history.WILL PUT A SMILE IN YOUR FACE TOO !!!"

Yes, Numan's human. Let's all revel in his musical genius!

"I bought this one day ... and this particular item caught my eye from the section I passed. It piqued my curosity so much, I decided to make it an official impulse buy. Now, I don't do that very often, but I am extremely glad that I did, as this is some of the best rock/electronica I've ever heard! ... Anyway, about this CD. NO, I did NOT get it just for "Cars", even though it's live, as I was already aware that Gary had performed music of considerable quality and depth. His songs actually have *soul*, which most of what I had been listening to up to this time had severely lacked! Also, even though this collection is composed primarily of edits and remakes, I didn't care. I really, really like the sound of most of what's on here. Hey, I'm listening to "The Skin Game" as I write this, it being one of my favorites! Some others from New Dreams For Old I like are "America", "Down In The Park", "Call Out The Dogs", "New Anger", "My Dying Machine", and "I Can't Stop". Yes, I am aware, that Mr. Numan is considered a one-hit wonder in THIS country, with the song that I am really sick of, and which was never one of his best to begin with, and I also aware of his controversial reputation back in the U.K. But ya know, once again, I DON'T CARE! His music rules! Long live Gary, and long live the rock/techno/electronica genre!"

Well chosen mix of Numan...

"Old hits, new hits...simply brilliant. I adore most of his music, especially the later, darker stuff. This has a bit of everything and yes, 'cars' is in here too!
It's great if you want to get into Numans music as you get a clear taste of what he has achieved. A worthy addition!"
