 Both songs are in an aggressive punk rock style, very different from the synthesizer-based music which became Numan's trademark.At this stage of his career, Numan (born Gary Webb) had not yet found his future stage name and called himself 'Valerian'; his band mates Paul Gardiner and Jess Lidyard also used assumed names.Webb's compositional credits on the original vinyl single were under the Valerian pseudonym as well.
