      One of electronic music's pioneers, Gary Numan fused synthetics and punk rock in the late '70s, eventually giving rise to the electro-pop craze of the early 1980s as well as the industrial styles that emerged later that decade. Remodulate compiles material from Numan's rare import albums. Disc 1 samples his studio work--excellent blends of synthetic grace, aggressive guitars, and soulful overtones, delivered with Numan's characteristically nasal vocals. "A Question of Faith" stands out, reminiscent of his work on Replicas, which, for Numan fans, is all you need to know. The second disc is all live, featuring many works from his early years, including stellar renditions of "Me, I Disconnect from You" and "Are 'Friends' Electric?" Remodulate is both a must for Numan fans who lack the imports and a good starting point for novices. --Michael C. Mahan
