"You can't dance to it. It doesn't have a chorus. It's really long. And it's about robot prostitutes." Poetic.

Get your head around the fact this is 42 years old and you'll realise just how much ahead of it's time it was.

It still sounds like it's from the future. Absolutely incredible sound

Gary discovering the Moog is like splitting the atom.

40 years ago we were living (and dreaming) of the future. 40 years later we're living and dreaming of the past. We were living our best days and didn't even know it.

What a delightful bloke! Honest and self deprecating, nice to see an icon with his feet on the ground!

He's honest if nothing else (hitting the wrong key). He could have said "I meant to do that!"
I can't believe I've been listening to this song for 40 years, and love it as much as the first day I heard it.

4+ decades later, and the song is still brilliant and relevant and far better than most of the rubbish out there today.  Gary is so down to earth.  Great interview !

Gary should be in the Rock n Roll Hall just for this song!

3 years before Blade Runner was released this album was already a cyberpunk masterpiece.

"you can't dance to it?" i guess i didn't get that memo

This guy is so humble.  He is, in fact, a musical genius.

He's so humble for someone who stood there on Top of the Pops like a man from the future.

I think one of the most interesting things to come out of this interview is his clear understanding of what makes something work - the sound, the image, , having obscure lyrics so the true meaning isn't spotted, the lighting, not looking at the camera - details that he paid attention to. Yet he's very modest and acknowledges critical moments of luck that had a pivotal effect. At the same time, I think he probably would have emerged eventually somehow. Quality and talent and ambition in one package tend to.

"Two songs stuck together because I didn't know how to finish them ..and a mistake " shrugs in amazement...🤪

I’m so relieved to learn that Gary is a terrific guy!

That's it?! No no no, I want a full 30 minute documentary about this song! Or a 60 minute documentary about his career! What's it gonna be, Radio 2?!

Gary Numan, the man who fell to Earth from the future.

You can't dance to it?!?!
Are you kidding me? It's the only song I ever danced to and felt completely ecstatic about. I'll never forget that night! 😁

He’s still down to earth. Totally nice bloke. Gary Numan didn’t fall into the Punk, New Wave or New Romantic genres. He was very much his own person. An artist with almost Bowie-like ideas and delivery.
