Understanding Gary Numan The Machine Quartet 1978-1981

The First Analytical Study Of The Pioneering English Musician. The Historian, Paul Sutton Begins By Taking The Reader Through A Vastly Entertaining Potted History Of Rock Music Pioneers, Tracing Them All Back To A Delta Of Mississippi Mud From Where Howled The First Harmonica, And From Where Was Heard The First Blue Plucking Finger On String, To Show That Popular Music Was Strictly The Imitation Game Until Gary Numan Came Along With His Machine Quartet, Four Albums That Completely Re-invigorated Rock And Roll. Numans Music Added So Many New Strands Of Dna To The Gene Pool Of What Hitherto Had Been Dead Mississippi Mud That The Transformative Effect Was Immediate And Everlasting.
