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.

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.
