You are right Paul....it's like a Slowed Down Version of "My Name is Ruin" which had his Daughter Persia on backing vocals.

Loads of Numan songs sound like other Numan songs, particularly the post-1994 stuff. He has a tendency to repeat some of the same musical ideas often.

He was on that c4 Sunday Brunch show yesterday, prompting me to fork out for the new album

It's actually pretty good, I enjoyed that, although some of it did sound like the same
song it was a good song

Best track on the album for me.
He was on a BBC2 culture show last week apparently as well, something like early Thursday evening, should be on Catch-up for anyone interested. I didn't watch it but I like Numan, I've always felt like I understood him and his strife with mental health. That docu film about him is a good watch, too.
Think I'll go for a stroll in the trees.
