>cheers >neil There's a cd called 'Random (02)- mixes of Gary Numan' (1998, Beggars Banquet Records). I don't usually buy mixes of old songs I loved in my youth. They usually dissapoint. But I saw this for cheap at Kims in NYC a couple years ago and picked it up. This is a collection of previously released 12". There's a few reviews I found on the web. Here's one: http://www.napadogan.com/pr_beggars%20banquet_gary%20numan_random(02)_022698.htm Alot of the mixes on here do no justice to the originals but I like a fewof these. Here's some thoughts: Robert Armani - Metal : Reminds me of The Knacks's 'My Sharona' ?! DJ Hell - Dans Le Parc : Nice low bass..dig it. Greenhaus - I Die, You Die : Zzzzzzz.... Mike Dearborn - Cars : Nothing like the original track. Dig it. Dave Clarke - Cars : I would honestly rather listen to the original song. He stays pretty close to it anyway. I'm guessing that's Dave's point and that he a big fan of Gary's music also. Dave Angel - Warriors : I could do without this track on the cd. Not my cup of (green) tea I guess. I'm also not that familar with the original. I know his first 3-4 solo and Tubeway Army albums better. Liberator D.J.s - Are Friend's Electric : It would take alot for me to like a remake of one my fave early "synth-pop" songs. This mix certainly didn't do it. Steve Stoll - Remember I was Vapours : This would be nice thrown into a set me thinks? Claude Young - We Are Glass : Not bad but I'm starting to fast forward these tracks so I can throw on some of my some of my Tubeway Army LPs and GN cds.. Alex Hazzard - Films : I have to turn this off after 50 secs. Peter lazanby - The Iceman Comes : A pretty "Idmish" mix of this track. A nice listen. I don't think I've heard the original? side note: When I talked to Gary a few years ago in London I got the impression that he's pretty protective of his material. It may be hard to get samples cleared by him but if there's money involved... ,Dave __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
