Heart

"Time will heal you, time helps you forget me..."

For this episode, I remember Gary Numan's largely-forgotten album Outland from 1991, and its lead single 'Heart'.

The episode delves into the underrated love song from Gary, as well as the difficulties in making the album alongside Miles Copeland, how it was inspired by Janet Jackson and Jam & Lewis, and how it led into what was to come next.

Clips used:

  • Gary Numan - 'Heart'
  • Gary Numan - 'Interval 1'
  • Gary Numan - 'Confession'
  • Gary Numan - 'From Russia Infected'
  • Gary Numan - 'Tread Careful'
  • Janet Jackson - 'Escapade'
  • Gary Numan - (R)Evolution (audiobook)
