It's great to see him so happy. His career was def damaged by the way the press & others responded to his music in the 70's & 80's. He was far ahead of his time & he paid the price.

Very true! It is also sad that his career was hurt because his unknown-at-the-time aspergers could cause him to come across as egotistical in interviews and he got a bit of a reputation for that. It is all the more sad when you realize it was out of his control and he was trying his best to connect with the interviewers. But at least he has settled into an extremely loyal fanbase now who truly enjoys his music and respects him.

We in the early/mid 80's thought that we were also far ahead of the time in the german new synth wave scene.And now i realized that Garys/tubeway armys ideas and sound is the mothership of everything we were and we're still listening. It's almost impossible to express my admiration in words.What a bombastic kind of industrial version at this gig.
