The orchards may all be gone, but nevertheless, whenever I look out from the balcony of my house, out over Fremont and across the Bay to Palo Alto and the Santa Cruz Mountains, I see nothing but trees. (Except for the Bay.) The mountains are lousy with 'em. Speaking of Palo Alto, it's nothing but trees. I can go to the mission here in my town and see olive trees nearby which are as old as the mission. I very much like all the trees I see in the Bay Area. We are more betreed than many places, but perhaps not Canada, no. At any rate, Joey's signature quotes are randomly-generated, and if that one (which I suppose refers to making books out of trees, or something like that) drove you nuts, you should keep an eye for other Undeniable Truths such as "There is a God." :-) And I can only hope that you have not brought down upon yourself, and possibly the entire Digest, a particular Joey Rant(tm) about trees. :-) You think the man can rant about the production quality of Exile and (un)intelligent reasons for not buying rereleased CDs? You ain't seen nothin' until he gets into a conservative politics rant. :-) This is the sound of hacksaws in the Headwaters...

Maybe Canada's got trees to spare, but the San >Francisco Bay Area doesn't. God save the tree, she ain't no human >being. Personally, I'm much happier looking at things made from wood than at the trees themselves. :-) If I have to go off on another JoeyRant to explain what Limbaugh means with this quote, then it's probably a lost cause to begin with, and you're hopelessly tied to a mindset that, time and time again, has proven to cause more harm than good. But if you're truly open minded, then I suggest you: 1) Consider the fact that you can actually plant new trees, and 2) Consider that you hold the key in your own words: trees aren't people, and should not be accorded more "rights" than people have. 3) Pick up a used (ie: cheap) copy of Rush Limbaugh's first book, "The Way Things Ought To Be". He says it much more eloquently than I possibly can. It'll set you back a couple of dollars and give you a truly fascinating (and hilarious) read. It's too bad not many of the other "undeniables" haven't popped up in my postings here (my siglines are picked randomly from a file over about 800 or so).

To: numan@cs.uwp.edu (Gary Numan) Am I the only one who actually *liked* the female backing vocals? I can not imagine This is new love without the thrilling 'Picture the man when the heartbeat stops'. I agree with the fact that not every song should have female backings, but from time to time, I think it's a great change! I also didn't like the saxophone era, though again, there were some great songs with it (This is love). But then again, I did like Radio Heart, I did like Dadadadang, I did like "Automatic". As someone mentioned on the latest digest, the music might not be Numan, but the sound of his voice still gives me shivers after 20 years. And if you listen to Automatic, it is a very average pop mainstream album, but Gary's voice is such an addition. (remember 'voices'). And think of it, whatever musical choice Gary makes, his voice will always mark the song as a Numan song. Period. Looking forward to see Numan between the intervals called Front242 and Echo and the bunnyman on August 7th. Hope the weather's nice that day!

Enjoyed the Forum gig, but the sound mix was a bit woofy. If I was Gaz I'd give the audio dude the elbow! My Russian devushki certainly got off - they'd never seen or heard anything like it! I particularly enjoyed FILMS, THE SLEEPROOM, METAL, AN ALIEN CURE & EVERY DAY I DIE. A wonderful surprise, superb sound and a musically accurate version, THE SLEEPROOM in particular just goes to prove that Strange Charm is a great album. Weird thing happened though; in the Bull & Gate just before the gig (we didn't bother with the support) some Noid called Paul (I think, I was pretty pissed) squeezed in next to us to get to the bar, and we started chatting. He bought me a beer (ta) and told us that his wife (who my girlfriend had observed heading for the Ladies in tears) Silvia was from Bulgaria (?) and spoke Russian - so the girls (Olga & Katya) were eager to chat to her. Anyway Paul became concerned that the barmaid had not served him his pint, but she told us that he hadn't paid for it, so I paid. But he took off and left it there ... ? Weird ... Oh well ... Gaz & family have their Russian Numan 1999 T-shirts, but I have a few left over if anybody craves one. Respond off-list and I'll send you the design if you like. Cheap at $20 a pop. There's already a few proud owners in Canada, Texas and Oz ... And as for Danny T(osser) I wasn't going to respond (except for this bit) but Aaron (#548) said it the best. I'm with you man! I was just about to get stuck into this guy, but I just couldn't have said it better than you. Anyway, I think Danny T is a closet Hanson/Spice Tarts fan ... ooh that hurt! All together now, "Danny T is a sad git, sad git sad git, Danny T is a sad git, sad git, sad git ... and so say all of us." There, that feels better ... >>3) Is this list composed of people that listen to nothing but Numan? - You mean there's someone else? Who? Damn! Why am I always the last to know? Weird coincidence: while I was writing this gibberish, a new video was just shown on German music channel Viva, from a German band called "Kreidler"; "Coldness" from the album "Appearance And The Park" I assume. It has that same early Numan/Visage/Depeche Mode sound. Keep an ear out for it. Even the video is done in that early 80's dreamy digital effects style. Anybody know about this group?

I commend you, it was very nice and civilized there is no sense arguing because some people like different things. I happen to LOVE GARY NUMAN, I have refound him through this forum, he helped me through the angst of an abusive childhood. His music was my comfort and my voice, I am from the deep south in America and most people had only heard of Cars, but I had all his music and posters etc... I am 27 now, so I was pretty young when it came out, but he was so different and so much better than the other cookie cutter musicians of my childhood. Its been a long time since I was a kid and "saving my virginity for Gary Numan because I had such a crush" smile But I am thankful he is still around and still producing excellent music. By the way, someone mentioned the Fear Factory remake of Cars, it is Fabulous and the video is REALLY KICKIN! Gary is in the video and he doesnt look a day older than he did in cars, he is still beautiful!!!! Thanks for giving me this opportunity to relive one of the great things of my childhood.

EMI have now said that the rights to this album do not revert back to Numa Records after all. They apologise etc and have agreed to pay our costs as we had already put a lot of work into the new version. They will now release it along with their other Numan albums, Outland and The Skin Mechanic, in a few months time. They have agreed to allow us to sell them via NuStreet. -------- Derek here. This could be good or bad: good becasue Outland and Skin Mechanic will get rereleased; bad because EMI have been very spotty in their reissues. Some have had lots of bonus material, others nothing extra. It seems to take a fan in the organization at EMI to get a project treated like it should. We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm announcing the grand(ish) opening of a new Numan site: Dark Alien Light. There are several main focuses - a studio discography, musician database (under construction) and guitar chord archive. Also the usual fare such as my collection and numan network page. The url is: http://redrival.com/basicj If any of you have pictures of musicians featured on Numan albums, or snippets of info such as other bands/artists they've worked with, I'd be greatful if you could send 'em to me. You'll be credited. I'm also in need of a standard windows wave (*.wav) file from the Exile album for use as an opening sound on the site. I'd like it to fade in just before the final chorus of "Dark" and then fade out when the guitar feedback plays at the end of that track. If you can oblige, here's the address to send it to: basicj@hotmail.com Thanks! - BasicJ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 09:42:49 +0400 From: "Peter Enright" Subject: NYPD Blue music To: "Digest Numan" Is anybody out there a fan of NYPD Blue? I am. My kindly 75 year old Mum (she's online too!), bless her heart, tapes it for me (plus David Letterman and Full Frontal) and sends it to me, as we are all culturally starved out here in Russia. But I digress; those of you who do watch NYPD will no doubt be aware of its formula of employing short funky, synth music stings between scenes and after commercial breaks. The more I hear these, the more they sound like a brilliant source of intros for Numan's yet-to-be created songs. Man, he should employ this musician, whoever he is, to produce or at least co-produce his new material. I reckon he must be a Numanoid ...
