Jagged

One of the biggest announcements made by Metropolis Records for 2006 was the signing of electronic pop pioneer Gary Numan. This is his first studio album in over five years. Co-produced with underground electronic artist DJ Ade Fenton, Jagged is an aggressive, forward looking release which takes the best elements of Numan's previous work and gives them an anthemic, contemporary twist. Numan also mixes in rock elements through the siren-like wail of machines rather than guitars. He's pulled off an album that's heavy and dark, yet also contains some of his finest songwriting.
