Dance was the first Numan album that had to grow on me. I absolutely love it now. Slowcar To China is my favourite tune here, and although I have always loved Paul Gardiner's bass, the fretless bass on this album is phenomenal.
During the "Dance" sessions, when Gary needed inspiration he'd hop into the car and listen to "Gentlemen take Polaroids" by Japan. Told to me by someone who played on "Dance".
Not quite but at the 2:30 point it’s Chris Payne on the Viola that’s doing the counter melody and not a synth. I remember this song played a bit on Radio One in the UK and was a surprise to us all back then that didn’t hear it debut at Wembley
What a tune 👍😁

One of my faves
The back of the single cover features Gary with a black-eye having been thumped by a jealous boyfriend apparently.

Excellent podcast
love to hear what you think about White Boys and Hero’s 80s LA bleached blonde phase
That's not synth at 2:30, it's Chris Payne's viola.

Not a good one... even geniuses lose their way
Crash and You Are, You Are would have worked at least as well as singles.
