I first got into Gary Numan about 20 years ago when I borrowed Hybrid from my neighbour. I followed his music forward through the years, but only recently did I think to follow it backwards too. Turns out I missed a lot of awesomeness. This is one of my favourites.
Pleasure Principle and Berserker are 2 of my favourite Gary Numan albums. Dark, strangely uplifting and utterly brilliant music. Still can't decide which of the two I like best
Such an important stage in Numan's career. He had to fight at the time, and his commitment shines through. Wonderfully eccentric, uniquely unreal. A true legend 💙
Have seen Gary Numan live several times and he is always brilliant. Have been a massive fan since I was about eleven. I grew up with this music, and the associated scene. Just as good to listen to now as it ever was.
i'm forever playing little snippets of his material. he is a genius... no question... but his new 'mad-max' stuff is disappointing. i'm subscribing to your channel, in the hope you put up some playlist's of your music tastes... ❤
This song is a masterpiece that could have been even better than it actually is. Incredible arrangement, deep lyrics, huge stage presence. This is like a proto-industrial or something, I don't know. Still, Berserker period is incredible, even though the respective album is uneven. Cheers from Russia, fellow Numanoinds! I hope your western governments will stop sponsoring murdering my brothers (Russian AND Ukrainian) soon enough. Sorry for being political, I'm just drunk. At 6 o'clock I felt so alone... please understand, will you:)
@@MephProduction The public didn't see it like that. Berserker didn't sell even 100K, Numan's decline was baked in after the dreadful Warriors album and image.
@@outpost31737 it's not always about sales. It's about finding music that can mean something to you. Personally, Berserker is probably my second favourite Gary Numan record, only second perhaps to Telekon. I love the look and atmosphere it had. Currently trying to collect as much from that era as i can as well. I do think Warriors was a bit of a step back though. Rarely do i have listen to more of that album than the title track. The live versions of some of those songs on White Noise are great though
This was the beginning of Numan's decline. The single only reached 32, Numan blamed Radio 1 which is just a massive cop out. The music and image became a big turn off as far as the public were concerned. Personally I love the Berserker image and album.
Ced was a brilliant drummer. His beats were so memorable and original.

As a Gen Z numanoid it’s very upsetting his discography from 84-87 is off streaming platforms. It’s also lonely being a gen z numanoid lol

LOVE THE BROODING DARK SYNTHS HERE. A GREAT TALENT.
I last saw Numan in 1984 berserker tour. Promised myself I’ll see again soon. Awesome stage show
This is a vastly underrated sound. Even now. Don't pretend that the 1980s goliaths celebrated today would have happened without him.
I Like Gary Numan's Image, just Awesome

That’s my mum on backing. Vocals 😂😙my🍑
Gives me shivers!! I love it!
Always crank the volume every time they play it on FirstWave
You kind of need to. I've always thought the Berserker album was mixed a bit too quietly, unfortunately.
Honestly one of his best songs. Album inspired by username. So happy I still love him after my hyperfixation
I have this on original 7" vinyl record.. One of my first Gary Numan records I bought.. One of my favourites too.
Love this played it to death back in the day . Would love to hear it live sometime 🤞
My favorite Gary Numan song ............................................ a hug inmnese from Peru 💋💋💋💋💋💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💥😎✔👍...
Brilliant as always, Cedric looks amazing in all white.
What an insane choice for a single.
Damn! Gary Numan looks so cool! I wish I could pull off that look!
GRACIAS!!! 💙👍

Dance & I Assassin we’re both beautiful & important .
These efforts are an enormous step backward. He’s lost. Sad.
bollocks, berserker was a return to form, a comeback
I'd argue that the so called industrial material is a step backward. It all sounds the same.
