Gary is the reason I saved and bought a minimoog in JrHS 1979. He was always a great inspiration to me after first hearing his music, the love of his music, and the drive of teaching myself to play the synthesizer in HS. I've added a few more keyboards to my keyboard collection since then, but the sound of his music still inspires me ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Gary Numan is, and will always be the Godfather of electronica to me ❤❤❤❤❤
I like all the visual references to the characters that Gary wrote about in the original song as well as those that appeared on later album covers.Great musical tribute too!
Sitting with a few beers as all real scots do working my way through all your covers of a man I consider an absolute legend , in case your worried Tim this is'nt stalking mate it's adoration I keep thinking I'll eventually come across one of your covers thats not quite as good as the original but so far no luck. All the best.
This is another cracking cover, Tim. And, as usual, a great video that reminds me of a James Bond title sequence in places. And I love Miles's voice. It works really well. Top job, matey!
Big shout out to my After Effects teacher Ben Bardens (youtube channel bardensplace) and the school Studio Arts in Los Angeles. Ben made this program really interesting to learn and the school has a top notch environment. Couldn't recommend it more.
Fantastic cover, really great songs on your channel. Unlike a lot of people who cover Numan songs, although good covers in their own right, they never quite capture that same essence of the original Gary Numan songs, but you come really, really close.
These are wonderful Tim, you really understand what makes Numan's songs so great. and convey this superbly through your own 'take' on them. The visuals are wonderful too. I love the 'vs' tracks too.
great work tim...perfect sounds with a great feel ....nice use of a different narrator for the spoken verses ,add a new dimenson.. fantastic video ...great package ...very well done
I believe Tubeway's Top Of The Pops appearance in 1979 was shown in the firtst series of a UK TV comedy panel show called Never Mind The Buzzcocks, asking guests what Numan's lyrics were to the song. You've done a great job in helping us all out with it!
EXCELLENT!! You captured the meaning and underlying darkness of One of Garys Finest pieces. Love The Guitar textures and combination of drum sounds You used! Perfect Programming And sound choices! The spoken parts are awesome, mechanical and Inhuman. The video is Perfect. What's That red plane trail footage from? Another Great one Tim! :D
please do three songs first "My Dying Machine" second "Love Need no Disguise" and the third is "Remind me to Smile but can you leave out the chorus. " thumbs Are Friends Electric? I love this song.
I don't like this as much as your other work. (It's still in my favorites though, and still one of the best AFE covers I've heard.) The problem for me, is that while you have an excellent voice, it doesn't sound right on AFE. The only male cover of AFE where the vocals have worked for me, is the two guys with the ukulele. (And that would be because the style is so un-Numan) (I would love to hear Fiona Bates singing it) The spoken part really worked well though, and the music is excellent
im not suggesting that musicions shouldnt cover numan but i do suggest that at least make it different and credible, i get it that tribute bands do original sounding sets, fans love his past music but if you are an original artist you do you own thing and not just carbon copy it, i struggle with people who try to impersonate him and his style it bothers me, i respect people who use his music to develope it into something we havnt already heard a thousand times, i mean no disrespect it its just my opinion, peace and long live Numan.
Vocals are flat really it's like a bad karaoke, I'm a numan fan have been from the start this is just sad, with respect there's only one numan and plenty of clones but please c'mon leave it alone take what you have learnt from numan and do your own thing.
Since I've been doing these covers I've had a lot of people share their cover versions with me. I think all the musical efforts, good and bad, come from a place of sincere appreciation for Numan and his music. There is only one Gary Numan and he is the bomb, but to suggest that musicians should not be covering him is a little strange. Reznor, Manson, Foo Fighters and many more have covered Numan. I don't like all the versions but I do like hearing interpretations of his music as do many others. As for my vocals, your criticism is fair. Not my favorite performance. Numan really is the only person that can sing this song worth a damn. I still had great fun doing it and it was totally worthwhile. Cheers.

Brilliant!!!

fantastic job on this. can't be easy to cover a song that's perfect in its simplicity by adding more elements to it, yet this version works so well

Let me just say WOW!!!
Great Cover, Love the reading, your easthetic choices are always terrific, I miss your image onscreen though. Love to watch you sing buddy.

Eilers does Numan better than Numan. That's not to say Gary couldn't do as well; but it's hard to see how really.
Ok but nowhere as good as Numan. Liked the American voice over bit in the middle though.
Doesn't add anything new

Timothy Eilers who cares what he says,i give you kudos for this
The music is fucking amazing but it's like Dream theater, I can't stand the singer.........=(
