I positively adore Gary Numan, his recent albums really showed me how much talent he has. He's still fine as hell (Pretty Boy to DILF evolution), plus it's amazing to have a favorite artist that's also on the spectrum!
Oh. And I've had 3 vivid wet dreams about him to date. 2 were him in the Berserker era and 1 was his current Intruder era...

I first heard āThe No #1 in Heavenā album at a shopping mall in Akron-Ohio in June of 1979.I was a short, chubby 13-year-old with glasses, acne and an ugly, bowl haircut. I was spending the summer with my Grandmother, and I was one month away from my 14th birthday. We were at the local shopping mall on a weekday, and I wandered into Camelot records as this album was playing.
The āNo #1 In Heavenā album had just come out, and they were playing side two on the store stereo system. I walked into the store during āBeat The Clock.ā Electronic synth music was still very rare in that era of drums, pianos and guitars. I was the only customer in the store, not including the two employees behind the front counter.Ā I remember wondering who I was listening to while at the same time thinking: āthis sounds a lot like Giorgio Moroder,ā
And then the next song started. The backwards cymbal beat fading in from the speakers in the ceiling over my head, gradually dissolving into a mist of reverb and special effects. The complex, angelic vocals gradually fading in along with the rest of the instruments. Followed by a disembodied electronic voice chanting: āListen to My Other Voiceā¦ā
I walked to the back of the store and found the record playing on a turntable, and I picked up the LP cover lying next to it on the counter. Sparks. No #1 In Heaven. Produced by Giorgio Moroder. I bought the album one month later for my 14th birthday, and I spent the rest of the summer listening to it on my headphones.
To this day, whenever I hear this song, I remember being that short, pudgy 13-year-old kid with the glasses and the ugly haircut, standing in the middle of an empty record store at the local shopping mall while this heavenly, ethereal music swirled around me. And feeling like this song had been written and recorded just so I could walk into the room and listen to it at that very moment in timeā¦

āItās kind of silly, but one of the most liberating experiences Iāve had is when I requested āEnola Gayā by OMD at the roller rink and could not stop myself from groovingāIāve always feared judgement and have a hard time stepping out of my comfort zone because of that, so finally saying, āfuck it, Iām going to awkwardly dance on roller skates and have a good time even if people look at me weirdlyā was really freeing.ā - synthpop-confessions #72
