In A Dark Place CD

First single to be taken from the recent album 'Jagged' is limited to 2000 copies. Contains exclusive bonus track plus the video for 'In A Dark Place'. Unusually amongst his contemporaries Numan has come into his own in the 21st Century both as an artist and as an influence. In 2000, his Pure album was described as 'the best music he's made since his 1979/80 heyday' by The Sunday Times, while Kerrang! enthused, 'if you like your melancholia dense and dynamic you won't want Pure to end.' Three years later he released Hybrid, an album of collaborations and re-worked versions of classic tracks which included the Top 20 hit 'Crazier', featuring electronic punk Rico. At the time Numan was also 'cool again' thanks to Basement Jaxx's sampling his songs on 'Where's Your Head At' and the impact of Sugababes's Number 1 single, 'Freak Like Me' which was based around his 1979 chart-topper 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' Yet since then Numan's cultural relevance has, if anything, grown stronger than ever before thanks to the likes of Goldfrapp, White Rose Movement, The Rapture, Jacques Lu Cont, The Faint, The Killers and The Bravery. 'The massive synths and guitars are stacked up like some Babelesque tower constructed from breezeblocks, it is supremely confident and the innovator of the late 70s never sounds like he's having to play catch-up." Mojo; "If 2000's Pure album brought Numan back into focus, then Jagged gives his music fresh shape and vitality." Metal Hammmer; "Jagged is a shudder-fest of consistent quality with a dash of Eastern promise." Q.
