(NEW YORK) - Beggars Banquet will release a
two-disc tribute to synthpop pioneer Gary Numan,
Random, in June. In addition to Republica, Jesus
Jones, the Orb and a duet between Weezer's Matt
Sharp and Blur's Damon Albarn, the set
will feature techno rock foursome Gravity Kills
covering "Poetry And Power." Numan was so impressed with the new
version of his tune ("With each thunderous beat, the smile on my
face grew wider," he said) that he asked Gravity Kills keyboard
player/programmer Doug Firley to produce new
material for his next studio album.
