    "comment": "Gary Numan’s \"M.E.\" stands for Mechanical Engineering, representing the perspective of the last machine left on Earth, rusting away after humanity has destroyed itself. It is a quintessential example of his \"man-machine\" persona and often noted for its sparse, dystopian atmosphere, frequently sampled by later industrial bands including Basement Jaxx' \"Where's Your Head At\"",
