numan: freshener

























Inspired by White Zombie, specifically the lyrics "more human than human," numan decided to develop freshener with the purpose of clearing the air about their recently exposed secret: they are the genetic replicas of The Beatles.

The numan members are, as they insist however, from different clone groups.

As part of a marketing strategy they were probably unaware until they read the news here, the numan members were raised in different environs in different parts of the world and carefully selected by their sponsoring company to form a kind of "boy band." Their sponsoring company, PKD, made the incidents that brought them together look like chance, but PKD carefully orchestrated their selection, and except for the deaths of everyone in clone groups 7, 8, and 11, left nothing to chance.

To numan, their clone status is a burden they want you to foreget about, but unfortunately or not, their lyrics attempt to be soulful tunes about "making a difference in a world of indifference."

Give them a listen, will you?

"I have your heart, but we're thirty years apart" and "immortality in a can" are worth the price of the album.
