Went to the gig last night at Wolverhampton, it was very good.
The synth sounds were pretty awesome especially as they were recreating Moog sounds with modern keyboards - i'm guessing they were playing samples but could be wrong (i would love to know).
He was replaying the whole Pleasure Principal album with some new stuff thrown in. The old tracks sounded very close to the originals which was fantastic, the new stuff was a bit too Goth for me.
I think there are a couple of dates left of the tour but it is well worth seeing if you are familiar with the album.

Not too familiar with his stuff - but I saw him join Nine Inch Nails at the 02 to perform Cars and Metal!

Apparantly Trent Reznor and Gary Numan are planning to make some music together!

I'm not surprised, i believe they have done stuff together in the past. I'm not familiar with NIN's music, Numans new music is probably in the same vein.
I'm a purist for the Tubeway Army / earlier solo work so the newer Goth output isn't for me.
Numan seems to be enjoying himself with the heavy guitars at the moment.

If you like heavy guitar with wispered tortured lyrics then yes!
