Random (album)


Random is a double-CD tribute album featuring songs by Gary Numan, released in 1997 on his first label, Beggars Banquet.
Random was released four months before Numan's 1997 studio album Exile. It played a key role in his 1990s career revival, showing the influence he had had on artists such as Damon Albarn, Pop Will Eat Itself, and Jesus Jones. The Guardian wrote in retrospect that his return to form began with Random. Numan himself said it "helped enormously."
It was followed one year later by the remix album Random .
