Gary Numan is the MAN (machine)

Today post-punk hero Gary Numan adds Splinter (Songs From a Broken Mind) to his already impressive catalog he's been compiling since the late 1970s. Numan's sound has become heavier over the years, with much of that owed to Nine Inch Nails. Here is a nice fan-made video for a cut off his 20th (!!!) album. -Kenyon
