ELECTRO pioneer Gary Numan has just released a new live album Savage, Live At Brixton Academy, a three disc deluxe album consisting of two audio CDs and concert DVD. This comes on the back of a string of UK dates with The Skaparis Orchestra, featuring songs drawn not only from his highly successful Savage: Songs From A Broken World album, but also cracking tunes from his vast back catalogue.
Savage: Songs From A Broken World was released in September last year through BMG and earned Gary some of the best reviews of his glittering career. It entered the UK charts at number two, a fantastic achievement for the iconic and highly influential artist. He was also awarded the Inspiration Award for songwriting and composition at the Ivor Novellos in 2017 and has been receiving outstanding live reviews proving that he is still at the top of this game.
Earlier this month, Gary also put out The Fallen EP, consisting of three new tracks It Will End Here, The Promise and If We Had Known, which is available as a special edition tricolour 12inch vinyl, digitally and on CD through the artist store at www.garynuman.com.
Gary music has always contained a filmic quality but with The Skaparis Orchestra joining his regular band, the mix of hard electronic and soaring cinematic atmosphere, was fully brought to life. He also showcased the most extravagant light show he’s taken on the road for more than three decades.
