And a quote from "Are Friends Electric" laid over the outro. . . .this video deserves at least a hundred times more views. Well, I'll add my little part: THIS IS FANTASTIC.
Eventhou i still can't understand how Pino Palladino came out with a bass line like that, really beyond everything up till now. But, your version truly the good late 90's versions of the song! Nice. Salute!
Hi I've been A Numan fan for 30 years now and your covers are superb. I work in recording music & study music tech and I can say that your covers are the best tribute to Numan I've ever heard. Cheers Andydad147
Also worth commenting that I think It would be hard to find a piece of music and celluloid better matched than this - they fit together perfectly like they were made for each other!
Fantastic, Tim! I love your versions for their faithfulness to the original, their stunning visual appeal and alternate insights I receive to songs I've loved for years through your slightly shifted emphasises. I'm very thankful for you, your talent and your decision to apply it to Gary's music. Thanks too for visualizations that blend so well with the music and my own mental inclinations.
I tried like hell to play the bass on my Carlos Robeli fretless. It's kind of crappy and I'm just not that good. I created the bass lines using Spectrasonics Trilogy. It helps to know how to play bass to come up with a good synthesized bass line.
Damn Tim... This is deff. One I thought about attempting but didn't simply cuz of that Fretless Bass part! Its Absolutely Crucial for this to be, and You NAILED it!! Excellent job! I always wondered what This song would sound like without the Linn Drum sounds! Killer! CONGRATS.! What's Next? :).
I had just watched all previous videos (and collaborations with Fiona Bates) on a long boring train journey, and then I found this new one. I watched at home for the first time on a big screen and good speakers - Excellent (again) one of your best, but I think Warriors still beats it (just). My request is for more collaborations with Fiona. (Heroine is brilliant too)
I finally got round to watching the original movie. I bought it a while ago, but my home cinema was out of action while the room was being decorated, and I figured it was worth waiting to see it properly. And it was. I think it makes your video even better knowing who the characters are, and what they are doing. I still think this is one of the best Numan covers I've ever seen. And I'm still hoping you'll do We Take Mystery.
+walkingwithshadows We Take Mystery is hard because its so perfect just the way it is......I can't really do anything other than just copy it. Maybe.....we'll see.
Great version Tim,very well thought out,the bass is well played and drums work well,i like the way you enterperate these songs........Im hoping This Is My House or I Assassin may pop up at somepoint. Personally i cant wait for a hard copy so i can finally have these songs on me BlairPod............Many Thanks.
WTF is it with all these negative comments about the vocals? Numan would be the first to admit he cant sing for shit! It's about the attitude and Tim nails it!
well done yet again...i loved the first 90 seconds , fantastic imagination for the video, one of your best to date, my fav covers of yours are "my breathing" and "me" keep up the good work, thanks to tubezilla ive managed to convert to mp3,sounds stunning in the car..what about covering "sleep by windows" ?
Wow, what can I say Tim, well done once again. It's the first time I can actually make out all the words of this song. Keep 'em coming and release that album soon, will you? That movie also looks pretty intriguing.
I really like it, and I "hate" it too... sort of. It's the delay between the 2nd and 3rd notes in the chorus melody that's doing my head in. It's pretty much the whole pivot around which the chorus moves. IMO!
that's the funny thing about covers....they are an interpretation. Some thing are just going to hit people the wrong way. I've been in your shoes listening to something that just hits me like a bad itch. Thank you for your comment. Made me laugh...appreciatively.
Just a few more then your CD comes out, right? Now..let's see...what else, what else....Are Friends Electric?, or I die, you die....or maybe slow it down with Please Push No More... or the pop eclectic sounding Remind Me to Smile.... I just hope you cover all of them eventually! :)
Holy crap, this is insane it's so good. I to am a fan of Numan from the begining and your stuff has its own unique flavour... How the hell are you doing this? Is it all you, I mean on the instruments and stuff? Home studio? Or all from a PC. Regardless, awesome... I'd be happy to pay to see you doing this stuff...
I liked that a lot. I thought the singing was adequate at the very least. Not hugely different from the original, but sufficiently so to be interesting. Nice one.
An underrated track which has been done justice here. This is excellent.
one word . . . . . BRILLIANT

I love how you kept the important elements to the song, but did your own thing. Better than just being a copy-cat. Excellent job!
You're such a genius Tim - thanks man.
Eventhou i still can't understand how Pino Palladino came out with a bass line like that, really beyond everything up till now. But, your version truly the good late 90's versions of the song! Nice. Salute!
Wonderful. Another song I tried so hard to love back in the day, and ended up just liking. However, I am loving this version.
All the covers i've heard from you so far are absolutely fantastic. This is coming from someone who absolutely loves Numan. So thank you!
Finally about to watch 2046 tonight... thanks to this musiic video,
Prime Cover. :)

Love it. Assassin USA, 1982 was my first ever live contact with Gary... would certainly NOT be the last.
A good feel to this. Well done.
You r brave to cover this song... nice job, that shit is not easy.
Very nice! Bravo!
Just amazing. Wow.
Made me dance around playing air bass!!!!

I really enjoyed that excellent version of music for chameleons and the film was real cool as well excellent piece of work well done more please!
A work of art
what a wonderful cover - well done and thank you very much - lovely
who is the bass player on this..bloody out standing..brilliant..fantastic cover
I tried like hell to play the bass on my Carlos Robeli fretless. It's kind of crappy and I'm just not that good. I created the bass lines using Spectrasonics Trilogy. It helps to know how to play bass to come up with a good synthesized bass line.
This cover is amazing but the video is also PERFECT, this has to be one of the best UA-cam vidoes I've seen/heard in awhile.
Listen to this, it'll blow your socks off.
...totally brilliant....!!
Just Amazing ! Tim is amazing !!!
Damn Tim... This is deff. One I thought about attempting but didn't simply cuz of that Fretless Bass part! Its Absolutely Crucial for this to be, and You NAILED it!! Excellent job! I always wondered what This song would sound like without the Linn Drum sounds! Killer! CONGRATS.! What's Next? :).

I liked this so much I've even gone and bought the film!

walkingwithshadows What film is this?
Kathy Odom www.imdb.com/title/tt0212712/
Thankx!
+walkingwithshadows We Take Mystery is hard because its so perfect just the way it is......I can't really do anything other than just copy it. Maybe.....we'll see.
@@timothyeilers Hi. But there are two very different Numan versions that are both excellent.
Great version Tim,very well thought out,the bass is well played and drums work well,i like the way you enterperate these songs........Im hoping This Is My House or I Assassin may pop up at somepoint.
Personally i cant wait for a hard copy so i can finally have these songs on me BlairPod............Many Thanks.
Excellent. I shall be checking out your other work.
Have you read Truman Capote's short story "Music For Chameleons" which inspired Gary Numan?
Well done Tim sir!
WTF is it with all these negative comments about the vocals? Numan would be the first to admit he cant sing for shit! It's about the attitude and Tim nails it!
Perfect cover !!
Good job fresh take on it
This is quite lovely.
Never anything less than exceptional Tim :)

Very impressive
you rock!

I love this...in a way
Sorry,meant to add that the visuals are great,as per usual......

Excellent, I prefer your cover to the original. Can I download it ?
Excellence
Nice!

His panic attacks have all but stopped.
Like like like like like!!!!
Wow.
Cool.
I don't like this track, but you made me love it with yoor version x
I think 2046 is a good movie to match up with Music for Chameleons.
goth rock 🌹❤️
I liked that a lot. I thought the singing was adequate at the very least. Not hugely different from the original, but sufficiently so to be interesting. Nice one.
i thought it was mick karn on bass on the original..???
Mick Karn only played on the album "Dance".
13REX Pino Pallidino played bass on I, Asassin.
Kathy Odom he's a good basses..i only just got back into having a bash playing fretless after a long break..tad rusty :-)
no one is coming anywhere near your cover versions tim.
Justin Bieber has 500,000,000 views of his videos and this has 1,600... still trying to work that one out...
shame the dislike button doesnt work
