     May\, 1979. It’s an ordinary Thursday evening\, which means it’s t
 ime for Top of the Pops. Amidst a zeitgeist of punk and disco\, the show s
 uddenly appears to be interrupted by a transmission from the future. A lum
 inous synth riff echoes out\, a beat drives on and up steps an otherworldl
 y figure – part robot\, part alien – to deliver an enigmatic lyric dep
 icting some kind of android existence in a dystopian future. It’s Gary N
 uman fronting Tubeway Army for their breakthrough hit ‘Are ‘Friends’
  Electric?’.Of the millions that are watching\, few would’ve recognise
 d that this moment foreshadows the shape of music to come\, from synth-pop
  to industrial and alt-pop. That\, however\, can’t stop it igniting the 
 imagination of an audience that would swell into a devoted following.Fast-
 forward to January\, 2021. Numan’s first single ‘Intruder’ (from the
  Intruder album) pulsates ominously as if it’s soundtracking an imminent
  threat. As austere synths loom like shadows and industrial beats are deto
 nated\, the beguiling hook towers like a beacon in the darkness. It’s vi
 sionary and venomous\, with a narrative that imagines the Earth growing an
 gry at mankind’s actions\, and more than willing to fight back. In the a
 ccompanying video\, Numan looks even more out of time than he did back in 
 1979\, like an intergalactic refugee fighting for his own existence.Those 
 two songs show how Numan has consistently fought against the grain to stic
 k resolutely to his creative vision. In a career that spans over forty yea
 rs\, the music evolves and the themes change. But fans remain fascinated b
 y Numan for the very fact that he’s so uncompromising.Any story charting
  four decades will be a mixed blessing of momentous highs and meagre lows.
  The achievements are remarkable for someone who
