Random - A Gary Numan Tribute

Beggars Banquet
Released 10 June 1997
BBQ-195

Gary Numan's music has been sampled on hits by Basement Jaxx, Sugababes, and Afrika Bambaataa among others but this was the album that started his critical renaissance. Featuring exclusive new interpretations of Numan's songs, the variety of styles illuminates the unexpected diversity of the material. The list of artists putting their spins on Numan's songs is unique. Damon Albarn + Matt Sharp of Weezer doing "We Have A Technical", The Magnetic Fields playing "I Die, You Die" among others.
