Dance

Description

Gary Numan is an undeniable pioneer and his influence on so many other musicians is impressive. His unique style allows his fans to cross genre barriers: electronic, industrial, indie-rock, metal, etc. His name has been cited as a major influence by all the greats, from Kanye West to the Foo Fighters and Queens Of The Stone Age, and an ever-growing and eclectic list of artists cover and sample his now-iconic tracks: Basement Jaxx, Damon Albarn, Afrika Bambaataa, RZA and GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, etc. The album 'Dance' is the fifth studio album by Gary Numan, released in 1981. At the time, the 50-minute record came out on a single LP, with inevitable compression and sonic distortion. Today, it gets the reissue it deserves on double purple vinyl! For this occasion, the 11 original tracks have been remastered across 3 different sides for optimal sound quality, and the fourth side contains singles, B-sides, and an unreleased extended version of the remarkable track 'Moral'. 'Dance' marks a notable effort by Gary Numan to move away from the synth-pop that made him famous and experiment with new, jazzier sounds, notably with the presence of saxophones. It features notable guests such as Rob Dean and Mick Karn, respectively guitarist and bassist-saxophonist of the band Japan, Roger Taylor guitarist of Queen, Roger Mason keyboardist of Models, and Canadian alternative musician Nash the Slash.
