Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There are some things in life that will always seem permanent, the first drops of rain on a British lawn leading to water companies announcing that there will be a hosepipe ban, qualification by any of the home nations to the finals of the World Cup or getting the newspapers going over the top in their assertion that the trophy will be coming home. However, perhaps most welcome of all, the first track of a new Gary Numan album will just be the prelude to a recording so hot that if set out in space would cause the sun to develop blisters.
