Gary Numan experienced renewed interest during the late '90s due to a popular remake of "Cars" by electro metallists Fear Factory. As a result, Numan reappeared back from the dead -- releasing new albums, launching tours, and winning over new fans. The time was right to issue a brand new Numan compilation (despite the fact that countless career overviews had surfaced throughout the years), as the 29-track double disc Exposure: The Best of Gary Numan 1977-2002 appeared in shops in 2002. Despite what its title would like you to believe, there are quite a few holes here -- the majority of the tracks come from Numan's early work. Most Numan fans would agree that his finest work came from this era (circa the late '70s/early '80s), as exemplified by the inclusion of such selections as "I Die: You Die," "Down in the Park," and of course, the aforementioned "Cars," in addition to such oft-overlooked album cuts as "Metal" and "M.E." But selections from the majority of his post-early-'80s albums go undetected here, however, as several songs are plucked from 2000's Pure. Not a bad compilation, but certainly not the thorough career overview you'd expect. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
