All of Gary's eras are covered, ranging from new wave to the more industrial sounds. Scarred  is an intense combination of a live band, and tight set of programming, behind a truly legendary and revered performer.

The double-CD Scarred, recorded live at Brixton Academy on Gary Numan's triumphant Pure tour in 2000, is the first of several releases that marked his 25 years as a recording artist. Gary Numan has become an enduring artist of huge influence since Tubeway Army's ’That's Too Bad’, his debut back in February, 1978. Initially hailed as the king of electro, he fell spectacularly from grace then, years later, having been cited as an influence by the varied likes of Afrika Bambaataa and NIN’s Trent Reznor, managed to claw his way back to the top. Scarred is infinitely heavier than his early material, clattering drums, pounding dancebeats, grinding samples, filthy guitar and a menacing, ever-present bass lending it an industrial roar. But Numan, being a master-showman, does not limit himself to all-out attack. ’Little Invitro’, with its pained plea of "If only… if only" is fraught and delicate before rising to its grungey crescendo, while ’Dance’ is both sweet and forlorn. Of course, the hits are here, too, most notably ’Are 'Friends' Electric?’ & ’Cars’.
