You accept you are inherently unlikable’ … Numan struggled with anxiety. Photograph: Matt Frost/Sky UK So here we are in 2017. 'Savage' is not an easy listening album. Lead off single 'My Name Is Ruin' is by some distance the most commercial offering here, yet the song and the video are still stunningly bleak. A special word of thanks here to Joseph Cultice for taking such extraordinary photos in a genuinely harsh environment. I’m very grateful to his skill and enthusiasm in getting the visual side together. a b Monger, James. "Savage (Songs from a Broken World), Gary Numan". AllMusic.com. AllMusic .

He set about converting all his band’s guitar-based punk songs into electropop. Soon afterwards, the memorable synth hook for Are “Friends” Electric?, written on an old out-of-tune pub piano his parents bought, came about through “my bad playing. I hit a wrong note and it sounded better.” Just over a year after he signed to Beggars Banquet, the 1979 single sold a million copies. I should’ve just quietly stopped touring.

And so, a stunning 38 years beyond those chart toppers, Numan has achieved the unthinkable -- an album of new material, entirely on his own terms, crashing straight into the UK chart at number two.

it's hard to talk about a Gary Numan release in 2017 and use words like 'relevant' or 'important'. Like virtually all artists nowadays who had their salad days pre-2000, Numan is oft cited as a pioneer or influence, but it's doubtful that his audience has expanded much as he inches toward his 60th birthday. He has a fanbase that has either stayed with him from the beginning or joined after his stylistic and career re-invention as Trent Reznor's cool uncle in the mid-90s. Numan's transition to Electro-Industrial seemed natural enough considering the android coldness of his personae and his dystopian worldview. And during that time when Nine Inch Nails and the like were enjoying some popularity, it allowed him to expand his market beyond those clinging to the "Replicas/Pleasure Principle/Telekon"-era.

Please forgive the proud Dad in me but this is a clip of Persia and Echo singing the "If I Said" piano demo. I'd just finished the lyric and they had just that minute come home from school. They didn't really know the tune at all so it's a little wayward in places. They are both dyslexic, so them reading it at all was enough to make me watery-eyed, but having your own children sing one of your new songs is about as special as it gets.

The world the album describes is savage, and the people in it need to be equally savage to survive, but that’s all there is to it. It’s fantasy, but based on my fears about what’s going to happen to future generations if we don’t do what needs to be done to protect the planet. It is not particularly political, not anti religious (for once), not anti anything other than the almost unbelievably ignorant decisions in one part of the world to walk away from agreements and commitments concerned with combating climate change and protecting our environment. Not every song is about this, I have other things that have found their way in to the album, but the image and style of ‘Savage’ is very much guided by the concerns mentioned above.
