"I don't suppose you ever laughed at me"
For this episode of Electric Friends, I look back at Gary Numan's 1985 album The Fury, and in particular its lead single 'Your Fascination'.
Including:
- How Gary continued his funk/industrial style from Berserker
- How radio continued to ignore him despite being a funky banger
- How he turned to co-producers and took on a new songwriting technique for the album
- Its music video co-starring his then-girlfriend
- Theories to what the song is about
Clips used:
- Gary Numan - Your Fascination
- Gary Numan - Miracles
- Gary Numan - Tricks
- Retrosound - PPG Wave Soundscapes II
- Gary Numan - Revolution (audiobook)
