Gary Anthony James Webb, professionally known as Gary Numan, is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer and artist. Not so gothic sounding intially, but since his 1994 album "Sacrifice" it really became evident that he does indeed have a gothic sounding voice. TOS2020 (Tower of Strength) from Remission International is a brilliant example of how gothic Numan sounds when singing the right song! Beautiful voice that makes the 'Numan'-sound!
