    For this episode, I look back at Gary Numan's Dance album opener - the haunting 9+ minute track, Slowcar to China.

    From its real-life inspirations and other theories to the album's sound as a whole, it's time to head back to 1981 and for one Gary's best ever LPs.

    "Take that smile off your face, wipe that tear from your eye, don't say you're sorry for me".

    For this episode, we look back at Paul Gardiner's solo single 'Stormtrooper in Drag', co-written with Gary Numan and with Gary on lead vocals.

    The underrated track about drug use and loneliness showcased the lost potential of the late Paul Gardiner, and gave Numan fans a look at what was to come on the Dance album, as well as some fresh music after his farewell concerts in 1981.

    I look back at Paul's other tracks, Gary's reaction to his death aged just 25, the song's cover versions and lyrics meaning.

Numan changed my life in 1979 when I first heard Cars. Was only 11 but even then was determined to spend every penny I had on buying everything he released. He was my absolute hero and these pods really encapsulate how exciting it was to walk in to WH Smiths and see the Complex or I Die:You Die 7”s in the section marked ‘New releases’.
