Gary Numan was a pioneer in the early electronic scene, confounding the contemporary music press with his androgynous stage presence and signature technique of feeding synthesizer hooks through guitar effect pedals. His most famous single, "Cars", spent one week at number one in the UK, while "Down in the Park", while not a commercial success, remains a fan favourite and spawned more covers than any of his other efforts. Though Numan was quickly eclipsed by more ambitious acts such as Adam Ant and Depeche Mode, he remained an important influence for plenty of modern musicians. Numan took his declining fame not as a setback, but as an opportunity to experiment further with his music and style. He provided the soundtrack to Michael Smith's The Unborn in 1991, before breaking back into the public eye in the late 90's with two new, more industrial-leaning albums, Exile and Pure. His latest album, Dead Sun Rising, came out in September 2011, and will feature prominently in his upcoming Machine Music Tour.
