Gary Numan and music producer Michael R. Smith. It consists of 36 tracks that had been written, but were largely unused, for the low-budget 1991 horror/science-fiction movie "The Unborn." In his autobiography, Numan described how the project came about:Numan and Smith's music for "The Unborn", written in early 1991, was later released as the
instrumental album "Human" in 1995, through Numan's label Numa Records. Numan has described "Human" as "an hour-long collection of musical ideas, each with a specific mood or atmosphere in mind, not a conventional instrumental album."
