Welcome to 'Listen To The Sirens' a blog based site that aims to share some quality live Gary Numan recordings and Numan related artists. For a number of years I have run a similar site that is focused on The Stranglers (Aural Sculptors). This Numan based site, like the Stranglers one, is absolutely non-profit making. All recordings are shared freely for and by like minded fans. Similarly, no official material will appear on this site. Go and buy it/download it legitimately and support the artist.

TV Archive DVD - 1980

 


This is the second instalment of the comprehensive video compilation collection. This, the second, focuses on 1980, the first full year of Gary's new life under the spotlight of international fame. I've said it before that music was so good back in 1980, so much so that even the shit stuff was kind of good! Maybe that was one of the reasons why Numan got such a hard time in the music press. In later years, with good bands being few and far between, the music journalists became less vitriolic, as the field of decent music shrank! Having said that, the reality was that the criticism levelled at Numan back then was rarely about the music, only the man.
