Contains 14 tracks recorded between 1984-1992. Includes B-sides and rarities. This collection complements the previously-released singles compilation ISOLATE: THE NUMA YEARS, collecting the B-sides of singles released during the mid-to-late-'80s on Numan's own label, Numa Records and adding a few previously unreleased rarities to boot. Most of Numan's small but devoted cult believe his best work was done during these years, and the B-sides of his singles, usually more experimental and ambient than the flips, bear this out. From the opening "I Can't Stop" to the brooding "Empty Bed, Empty Heart" 14 songs later, THE OTHER SIDE OF GARY NUMAN is a solid, often-fascinating overview. An early version of "A Child With the Ghost," a heartfelt elegy to a former bandmate later remodeled for Numan's BERSERKER album, is the clear highlight.
