We have a number of things being worked on at the moment, including. the new album (working title: Splinter), an album of previously unreleased songs compiled from sessions covering the last three Numan albums (Exile, Pure and Jagged) which has the working title of 'Resurrection', plus 'Jagged Edge', an alternative version of the Jagged album where we are remixing and entirely reworking many of the tracks as well as finishing off alternative versions, those produced initially by Rob Holliday and Monti from Sulpher, some as Sulpher and some individually. These Sulpher produced songs were later re-recorded when Ade Fenton took over production to give the album a cohesive sound. However, these alternative versions are excellent in their own right and have not been heard before.

The first clip, taken from the Jagged Edge album, is Melt. This was produced by Monti from Sulpher

MELT

This second clip is still a work in progress, not a finished mix. It still has the original demo vocal on it for one thing. However, this will give you a good idea of how the final thing is likely to sound. This is the Rob Holliday produced version of Blind.

BLIND

This third clip is a Sulpher produced track. This is Halo.

HALO

This fourth clip is an Ade Fenton remix of Fold. This is the mixed version but, like all the other Jagged Edge clips on this page, not EQ mastered.

FOLD

This fifth clip is another Ade Fenton remix. This time of Jagged.

JAGGED

This clip is from the South Central track I've been working on. South Central supplied me with a fantastic music track and asked me to come up with the vocal melody and lyrics. Plus sing it of course. The song is called Crawl. South Central will also be playing the support slot at My Brighton Dome gig in March, Looking forward to that.

More information on South Central can be found Here.

JAGGED

'Jagged' is Gary Numan's latest studio album and was released in the UK and Europe on March 13 2006 and in the United States and Canada on March 21. It's the first album of new material since the acclaimed 'Pure' album of 2000.

As a taster, this is what MusicOMH.com had to say about Jagged:

If Replicas was the future in a Buck Rogers/Barbarella kind of way, then Jagged is a prophesised Android Armageddon, replete with a dark wave industrial metal soundtrack. It's scary, but the special effects are spellbinding.

Numan's vocals are superb throughout, still disconnected obviously, but in songs such as In A Dark Place and Haunted he conjures up soaring choruses that fill your head to bursting. Elsewhere, barely audible noises clash with bulldozer guitars, whispered voices speak of isolation but suggest that you are not alone, and bass lines swell and bounce like steel balloons, combining to make Jagged an exhilarating, if at times claustrophobic, experience.
