    It seems to have been compiled via the randomness of fridge poetry, but that's a strength rather than a weakness. [Mar 2026, p.96]

    What stands out most from this time is the sense of possibility and spirit of adventure. [Feb 2026, p.96]

    Gary Numan is represented by both of his U.K. number one singles, and Secret Service's "Oh Susie" topped the charts in the group's native Sweden, but otherwise the set largely avoids proper hits. There are a few underground classics (Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream," Dark Day's "Hands in the Dark") as well as album cuts and B-sides from genre-defining acts like the Human League and OMD. There are also tracks that arrive at synth pop from different angles.
