Fracture is amazing! Got it playing right now! Such an amazing big sound that means business. Love the synths. This CD just says "play me LOUD!".

Ok, this about the 7th play TODAY. Last night (my husband) said "shall I play this?" and I said "F*ck yes" and so he did 3 times. Aaron this is mint stuff, absolutely mint. I love it, you must be so so proud.

Got my copy of FRACTURE this morning. Wow, amazing, very Impressed. Favorite tracks are Anodyne, I will breathe, and Erase ( couldn't stop humming Erase all day) Shiver is a good track to, Very influenced by Sleep by windows and Dominion day wrappped up with Absolution. This is a great album and I really recommend it as a 'must have' for any Numanoid out there.

Thats got to be the best thing I've heard in a long time. Why the hell have you not got a record deal? Why are there not multitudes of fans hounding your every move? Why are you not making fortunes? Why why why......

The production is as good as any commercial release I've heard if not better than a lot of stuff. You really go for the jugular on the synth sounds....something I love, really fat slabs of synth... Great stuff. Your voice is really powerful also. My favourite track up to now is stripped....

Just a quick msg to let you know that I am extremely impressed with the Fracture album that you passed to me at Liverpool. Great playing/programming and some strong hooks.
Jay of DeviantUK--------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
You know what, thats pretty good! I love two tracks (both of which are now on my IPOD (Anodyne -great glacial synths and i love the metallic attack) and that ace ballad in the middle of the album (sorry, the title escapes now, ive left the sleeve somewhere in the room) I love the atmospheres you have created and your song structure is spot on.
Paul Goodwin (author of Gary Numan: Electric Pioneer)---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
You know, I've waited a long time to hear something like Replicas, and now I have it - thank you very much, you've made this boy very happy:-) Your mix of guitar & keys on that album makes it just like Tubeway Army.
John (on Synthoholic)------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------
Haven't heard anything that has effected me in this way since "Violator" from Depeche Mode.

Fracture Is one hell of a cd from start to finish !
I'm proud to call you a friend. I salute you.

'Fracture' has had a few spins now and all i can say is Wow!!
Great sounds, great hooks, great production!!
There is not a bad track on it.
Excellent!!
Steve (of i-replicant)------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------
Fracture is an awesome cd – I feel this is the direction Numan should have gone after Exile/Pure rather than Jagged – don’t get me wrong I like Jagged – but I always feel it never quite delivers what the last two promised.

My last album (Fracture) is in the same neighbourhood of Gary Numan's work over the last thirteen years i.e. Sacrifice/Exile/Pure and Jagged with a bit of Replicas/Telekon thrown in for good measure.I am a self-confessed Numanoid going for almost 29 years now.
The influence is obvious, but still mine. There just isn't enough music like this being made nowadays. Too much screaming and noise, not enough melody.Since FRACTURE I've been moving in a more electronic direction. For the new album 'Dust' (due out summer 2008) I'm still using a mix of real and electronic drums but making the synths even more dominant. Also a dash of crunchy digital noise and nastiness. I want to keep the music big and intense with the synths, and keep the guitars for the huge, epic chorus'.My first album 'Googolopolis' was released on a minor in '94 which was playlisted in clubs in London, San Fransisco, Sydney and Moscow of all places. It was instrumental and in the same field as Orbital. It was rated as one the top five 'intelligent techno' albums alongside Orbital's Brown album in Russia. I never saw a penny despite the honour of sitting next to Orbital on a chart.Over the years I have grown up with, worked, collaborated or had a drink and jammed with:
Tom Ellard/Severed Heads, Jay Yeunger (White Zombie), Billy Corgan, Preston Klick, Matt Skaggs and Jimmy Marcus.

FRACTURE 2007



Other minor releases over the years like 'I Will Never Go To Oklahoma', and 'Beyond Evil' sound more like Severed Heads with an early Gary Numan edge. 'Synthoholic' is pure Tubeway Army / Machine Music.
