WHEN FUTURISM HAS PASSED
Gary Numan has got a new album out next week, which raises the question of what a futurist sounds like when their era has zoomed by. Without the appearance of electric friends or whatever. Apparently:
Co-produced with underground electronic artist DJ Ade Fenton "Jagged" is said to be an aggressive, forward-looking album which takes the best elements of his previous work and gives them an anthemic, contemporary twist.
We did read that as "anaemic" at first, which suggested he was going back to the white face powder.
What is amusing is he's on Cooking Vinyl in the UK now, which for us will always be The Texas Campfire Tapes people.

See also the lucrative Bauhaus reformation, the "nearly got it together" Cocteau Twins regrouping, and the laws-of-slowly-diminishing-returns that are The Mission, The Sisters Of Mercy, All About Eve, New Model Army etc...
What is it about the psychology of these bands and their fans that bond them together even after the level of quality and hair has receded to the point of almost total non-existance?
