Halo

In 2006, Gary Numan released his first new album in six years: Jagged.

It was the first album to be produced with Ade Fenton, starting a fantastic partnership that continues to this day.

This episode focuses mainly on one of the most popular songs from the album: 'Halo'.

We learn about how Gary was nervous about following up the critical success of Pure, the introduction of a Nine Inch Nails star, and a particularly comical moment from my first meet and greet with Gary at the launch of the album.
