There's something about the WAY Numan used synthesizers - unashamedly putting them front of mix, using utterly unearthly timbres that did not imitate existing instruments yet still keeping them musical rather than noise-based - that I feel entitles him to a more prominent role in musical history than Human League, OMD and Ultravox ... an entitlement he is still perhaps not fully granted.
This meant everything to me.
