Gary Numan - Savage (Songs From A Broken World) - hitparade.ch". hitparade.ch . Retrieved 3 April 2021. Savage entered the UK album chart at number two, on 22 September 2017, [14] but it dropped out of the top twenty the following week. [15] A re-entry to the chart in March 2018 gave the album a total chart run of 5 weeks in the Top 100. [16] [17] Release formats [ edit ] A powerful & futuristic album (with machine music and thumping electro beat) that fits our troubled times perfectly. I’m not precious about it, they’re Gary’s songs and it’s my job to make them sound as good as possible. For Savage, I thought his voice needed to be at the top of the mix. He’s a bit like David Bowie – you can’t mistake Gary Numan’s voice for anybody else. We’ve also tried to use the same high string sounds that he used on early albums like The Pleasure Principle and Telekon, but in a more contemporary way.

I even have a notion of ' IAMX' influ­ences in mat­ters of beat. Steady but with intensly vibrat­ing E‑Guitars and effects the song fights itself through the acous­tic­ally sim­u­lated desert, that is the base set­ting of this son­ic experience. This is an album that rewards repeated listens. It holds together as a unit, a collection of apocalyptic songs presaging a possible, an all too possible these days, future for humanity.

Lyrically, the songs paint a picture of a dystopian world where climate change has destroyed the world and the only remaining humans are adapted survivors. When Donald Trump pulled the US out of the Paris Accord, Gary thought of this as a “tipping point … where the Earth moves into an unstoppable phase, and we really cannot put the brakes on global warming. And it happens. And we end up with this desolated planet and all the horrors that are gonna come with that.” (August, 2017 Interview with BBC’s “The Arts”) The album reached No. 2 in the UK Top 40 album charts, becoming Numan's sixth Top 10 album, and the first since 1982. It proved to be his highest charting album outside of the number-one albums Replicas, The Pleasure Principle and Telekon from 1979 and 1980 and surpassed 1981's Dance, which reached No. 3. It became his first album since Telekon to chart in multiple countries. [5] Album concept [ edit ] I am the founder and main author of the international synth pop magazine Electrozombies, which was founded in 2010 as a niché music video blog for synth pop and genre-related music. Since my childhood I have been a devotee of melancholic, gloomy electronic music. Started in the late 70s with minimal electro band Kraftwerk and become a real synth pop fan through Depeche Mode's hit 'People Are People' in 1984. With Fenton as producer on Numan’s 18th studio album Jagged (2006), the duo went on to forge an increasingly successful alliance, collaborating on Fenton’s own Artificial Perfect album and critically acclaimed releases from Numan such as Dead Son Rising and Splinter (Songs from a Broken Mind), his first album to reach the UK Top 20 in over 30 years.
