Includes liner notes by Ian Abraham. Liner Note Author: Ian Abraham. The three-CD box set DISCONNECTION compiles a wealth of Gary Numan's recorded output from 1984 to 1992. Discs one and two are a mini treasure trove of B-sides, rarities, and overlooked gems from a period when Numan fell off the map a bit critically and commercially. Compared to his earlier, somewhat minimalist synth albums, these songs incorporate funk bass, jazzy saxophone, and soulful female backing vocalists to great effect. Disc three adds a mother lode of live tracks that sparkle as much as their studio counterparts. Here, some of the Numan staples like "I Die You Die" and "Cars" sit alongside the material Numan was releasing at the time. It's a fascinating look at Gary Numan's artistic output at a time when much of the world had foolishly moved on.
