203. We Take Mystery (To Bed) – Gary Numan (1982)


This song by Gary Numan was a definite move into the world of the dance track and (as with a lot of Gary Numan’s work) shows his constant desire to adopt and change his music as it develops.

I had long been a fan of Gary Numan from his ‘Tubeway Army’ days and had loved ‘Cars’ and ‘Complex’ both of which I had on singles but when I heard this song I ran out and bought the 12’ single and have had it in my collection ever since. I still play this song regularly and I love the overall sound of it as it marries fretless bass, synthesiser sounds, Gary’s very unusual voice and dance rhythm to create a truly amazing song.

Now listen to the song….
